Info
For those still wondering what Sh is I'll try to write here some info about it. It basically started in CTWF (wild fort). I used to play ctwf from time to time and it was really fun when many players got online and they knew how to play. I guess I really like the community & all the bad jokes we were making
This is when I got to talk more with theo. I think this was the time after phoenix died (we were both from that clan) & I kinda missed that big ph community & all the spamming 
Some time after that, ctwf tourney 04 was held and theo asked me if I want to play with him and I said yes and that I can't find any cool team name at that time, except some lame ones like "scumbag holers" (sh) Other players in the team were also ex-phoenix players (except vov). We managed to win the tourney and I guess that was the moment Sh was born. We kept playing other competitions, like ladle but that was not the thing for most sh players (we never won a ladle ). Some time after ctwf tourney 04 3b also joined sh (him, tak & theo are all french so that's why they sometimes call it a french clan) and it was just a coincidence that me & him played shovel 03 (tst) and managed to win. So I guess we were OK as a sumo clan too.
We played many more ladles after that (we were not considering ourselves a clan & we were just using random names beginning with 'S' and 'H') and I asked takburger and theo to make some fast cheap website, but takburger told me he has this idea about making the most awesome website ever so I just waited after him. Well, that never happened so at some point I just registered this free forum thing (I just picked first result from google for "free forum host") so we could be better organized (I think at some point theo would just message on arma forums everyone that played for sh if they still want to play next competition and this was really boring, weird and difficult to do). So yeah, this is how we got to have this free website At this point we think this is like other clans in tron, so feel free to ask us about joining or post in Feedback, Requests and Applications. We don't have a default application process/method, just tell us why you'd like to join us, what you like most about us and whatever is on your mind I'll talk about it with takburger and theo and we will tell you as fast as we can what we decided. Just like I said somewhere else around here, we are not really looking for skilled players, but more for a certain type of players hm (for example we don't like players that change their mind every day and keep joining/leaving clans or players that are too serious). You can also ask in a private message (you should probably send it to me, since I really check my inbox ) to join or with whatever other method (irc, in-game etc).
If you are wondering, our current roster is sh.boards.net/page/roster (we will make the page more cool looking sometime soon). Basically there are 3 leaders that can add players either into normal sh group, or into the special one. More about special members here sh.boards.net/thread/20/introducing-special-members

I really liked phoenix clan, the fact that most of them were ctwf players and how easily I could talk to them. But that was not ph's main objective. They were trying to win a ladle and some of them were serious about it & it had these strict requirements about activity and stuff (I got kicked from ph for inactivity). From my point of view, this is what I think of Sh right now, a phoenix clan but without the seriousness. There is no strict requirement in Sh (you can be inactive, nobody will kick you from the clan). I don't want to win a ladle that much, I want more to have fun with other players with the same interest.
Now if that is my attitude towards fort & ctwf, in sumo I like to be as competitive as possible (at least sometimes). So I'm OK with players joining for both reasons : being very social players, talking/spamming a lot (it's OK even if they play in other servers than ctwf, like yellow submarine) or being competitive in sumo & pushing the limit Now this is my opinion and I don't know if takburger and theo think the same (they might want competitive fort players too) but they are free to post a reply here and say what they think (if you can't reply to locked threads as admin, quickly unlock, post something short, lock & edit).
Considering that me & theo really liked being in phoenix and theo didn't leave it even after it died I think this will last for a long time. Even if I get inactive, I'll just come back later like nothing happened. So it's not like those clans that are born and die within weeks
If I remember I forgot to talk about something, I'll edit this post
