Then number of archives is due to coding of signatures, which resulted in lag, so they were archived. There could be many less archives if we didn't base it off of lag. Also, there's three clans already. So, you could join to other clans, two tribes, loners, or kittypets. That's a total of 7 factions, basically all but one inactive. There's no reason for a new faction that'll buzz with activity for a few weeks,, and then die off like the rest. It'll only create more clutter on the wiki, and more inactive characters. We've created more factions before, and look: They. Are. Inactive. A new faction will only have the same fate.
