My first suggestion to you is to learn how to quote a message.
My second suggestion to you would be to implement your clan data in a
dynamic way like mobile and object prototypes are done. That will allow you
to make a cedit (clan editor) and save all of your clan data to a datafile
and then in db.c load the data in, parse it, plop it into your variables and
go on.
That will allow for dynamic clans and will save you a bunch of server power
since your players will just have a reference to the clan data, instead of
the entire clan data in their char_data struct.
