Well let's see... most clans share a similar event with other clans so I'll organize it that way. I assume you want an overview rather than anything too specific.
WolfPack: The WolfPack started from my movement from the game to forums and a desire to be part of the community. We've been around for over a year now and have been pretty successful, with several size records. Over the time, we've been more involved in major forum battles than I would like to admit, I may get into that more later.
Armifera Fatum: Mongoose used to be a high ranking Wolf, but left later to pursue other interests. After travelling to a few other clans and making one or two of his own, he settled down to his current clan which he leads with the help of Ballsack.
Military Soldiers: Was formed by TattlingFuture2 after being exposed as a spy from the Bears clan (more later) on the WolfPack and being shunned by both groups. Was later taken over by the Wolves and Ryankill (another high-ranked Wolf) was given the role of ambassador to the clan to help it grow. After a while, he became more connected to the Soldiers and left peacefully to continue it's leader.
Thirsty Warfare: Formed by RichyBOI, who was originally a Wolf, became a Soldier, and then formed Thirsty Warfare with other ex-Soldiers after being kicked from the clan by Ryan. Initially formed for revenge but now a clan for itself.
Warrior's Creed: Was started several months before the WolfPack by Drone6o3 and gradually introduced many new ideas on how clans should be. After a while however, Drone became less and less active and leadership was passed to Ratburntro44. Rat improved the way the clan was run and fixed many of the problems, then gave leadership to Vortex_Master. Several near-disbandments later and a trade of leadership between VM and Rat twice more and we reach where we are now: somewhat inactive but nevertheless strong.
Order of Secrets: Secretive clan whose main strength in being completely unknown. The members use codenames at all times, though it was revealed that many were actually members of the Warrior's Creed, which is why I put them under that category.
Renegades: Highlander's first clan, another one of the originals, though no longer around. Relied on the strength of its leading members to dominate clan wars.
Vortex Rangers: Essentially the New Renegades, with many of the same members, same leader, and same style. Respected for their elite status in game and skill in clan battles.
Riders: Small group centered around the idea of shared leadership among Vortex Wars elite. Formed to make a small, dominating force for clan wars.
Knights: Originally made by BeatlesFan as a group of the most influential members of the community, including Highlander, Ryankill, and myself. That made it more of a meeting place than was desired however, so BeatlesFan and High started over and remade the clan with many top players from the game. After BF's departure, it was taken over by Karen first and later Guest77, who each added their own mark on the clan.
Killer Mantids: Formed as one of three new clans at about the same time, grew and lasted as a result of the disbandment of the other two. Really need to stop saying gg.
Other notable clans:
Bears: The most important of all the dead clan chains. Formed by Jeremiah shortly after the WolfPack and started what was originally a friendly fight, but grew to an all out war with the WolfPack with stakes to own the loser. Near the end, it was revealed that they had sent a spy to join battles and sabotage the Wolves. After the war was stopped, they reached peace terms and the forum returned to its happier normal. Soon after though the clan split into the Angels, led by Funnyman, and the Bears, led by Chirs, who ended up moving into the WolfPack. In many ways, I give credit to the war with the Bears for the WolfPack's survival.
Angels: The main followup to the Bears, led by Funnyman, who had been the coleader. FM created a respectable team for a while, until inactivity problems caught up and he joined the Creed.
BMF: Started by Techgump, the first clan to work with the idea of a few elite rather than a huge pool of members.
2k Rebels: Dead and gone by the time the WolfPack around but still notable for the interactions with the first clans. Made by Awesome400.
I left out several others who were not of themselves big but still had a big impact, such as the Star Demons, the Elemental Dragons, and everything Aboad and Attackbomb made, mostly because I didn't know what to write about them or didn't want to go into detail. If you're interested in one of them or any other particular event, I have a lot more I could have said and am certainly willing to help.
