Before I joined eGO I was part of a clan called =[GYB]= or Grumpy Young Bas*****(those old enough will understand) it was a custom map counter strike 1.6 clan. It wasn't very large like eGO but also valued a sense of community. Unfortunately life effected the leader and the leaders son and they were no longer able to game. Without the support of our key members, two officers who were married took over. This was a shaky time for the guild and only lasted for about half a year, until they had marriage issues which eventually caused the collapse of the guild. Not to long after I wandered into a eGO day of defeat server, becoming an active member of the player base both in time spent and vocally. JohnT found me, after a previous bad experience I was not to keen to join another guild. But after talking to JohnT he managed to convince me of eGO and I soon joined after.
