You sound pretty bitter towards people for no apparent reason. Sure, IRON was the best end-game shell on the server. No one argues that. Frankly, if the original members left, it doesn't mean that IRON left. It's not like EH barged in and took over. Power was passed from Tredvolt to Moonpie (correct me if I am wrong, I don't know the whole story, nor does it make a difference if I did because the outcome of my point is the same).
It would have been impossible for Moonpie to create a new shell under the name of 'IRON' and fool the entire server, including the remaining EH and IRON members into thinking that Tredvolt gave her power, without any of the people in charge noticing. That
is what you are suggesting is it not? Because you're argument points to no other conclusion than that. Let's examing your post..

IRON died months ago..... when tredvolt, winraf and the others left.
So you're telling me that you're so incredibly stuck up and ignorant that you were a member of IRON for however long you were, yet you can't accept that things change, and if the people you originally pledged leadership to leave, then in your eyes the shell is no longer representing what it once did? Something inside me tells me that with dedication and a reputation such as one IRON had, that is something they definitely would have never believed as a core entity.
What it seems like, is you had a problem with members of EH long before they merged with IRON, and when the merger was announced, you accepted it quietly (or loudly, who knows?) because of the exact reason I stated before, it was the will of the shell and your dedication was to the shell. But once it was announced that the oldest core group of players would be leaving, you figured, what the hell, their gone, it must be the new guys fault.
That's all that was of substance in your entire post. The rest was a fireball of obscenities blinded by anger/arrogance/ignorance, whatever you want to call it. Obviously I've just began a flame war, but frankly, I've been a part of many major well known clans throughout many different games and your statement totally contradicts the dedication and organization that they've all stood for (and continue to stand for). Hell, members leave, I've been a part of a clan that went through 4 or 5 main leadership changes, more than once. One was SectaVictoriae here on Bismarck. Leaders changed, dedication remained
for the shell and not the veterans and there was selfless service all around.
Once again, a clan on Counter Strike, went through 3 seperate leadership changes before it was disbanded.
Again, I'm currently in a clan for a browser game I play and this clan is both internationally recognized throughout the games they play (yes games, they have a dominant presence in 5+ different games, WoW included). The leadership has changed countless times in the many years they have been around and the dedication of it's 1500+ members remains to the overall clan. Yet they still maintain the same level of Honor, Integrity and Pride that they always did, their three founding principles.
