I've had this idea for quite some time. I can't be the only person on Lioden that loves dinosaurs and other prehistoric beasts? I think a clan where paleonerds can get together to talk and have fun is a really neat idea. In the clan thread there would be an extinct creature spotlight every week, written by our members on a turn-taking basis. There would be raffles, giveaways, and discounts, of course. We could discuss not only ancient animals, but also more recently extinct ones (passenger pigeon, thylacine, ect) and even ponder on the posssibiliy of de-extinction science! I even have the perfect mascot:

Akiak the Saber-toothed Cat!

This is a cool idea. I love the idea of it for sure, and I'm sure I can include a few species if chosen for a spotlight. I have a lot of favorites, and some are probably lesser known.

Awesome! Good to know at least one person likes the idea! And I'm sure everyone who joins will have their own area of expertise! Mine for example is mammalian carnivores. :)

Could you join to learn? I've always wanted to learn about this stuff more but i never know where to start looking.

Maybe something like a "creature of the week" type deal where you can theme things to it or just have a few interesting facts. It'd be almost like an event of sorts I guess. (Just a suggestion)

I was wondering like Ace because the most prehistoric exposure I got was when I played Zoo Tycoon 2 when I was younger. The expansion pack was certainly enjoyable, but I was never interested beyond the game because dinosaurs weren't a common subject I suppose? Anyways, I'd love to read and learn about them from others' point of view.

Of course you can join to learn more! Learning about these animals is all part of the fun! I admit that I'm not the best source for information on dinosaurs themselves (as I said I'm more of a mammal person) but I'm sure it would be very easy to dig up some really cool info and plan some awesome events!

And I'm more of an expert in the reptilian ones, like dinosaurs, etc. Or ancient crocodilians, things like that.

I really want to make this clan guys but I need to know if people will join first. I have the interest of 4 people confirmed, but I would like to get at least 10 before I actually make it.

I really hope you do make this group. It would be fun to have other people who share my enthusiasm for extinct critters of all shapes and sizes. :D

Me too! But I don't think it would be worth it to make one if only a few people will join. We'd just be better off having a little thread and PMing each other at that point.

I thought there would be more people interested in this. There were a bunch of people I RPd with last year that I thought were interested in prehistoric critters.

I'm kind of surprised too. I would have thought that in a community like LD's there would be at least a few more people interest in prehistoric animals than I've seen.
