I doubt if there's anything to be done in that situation. Here's basically the lifespan of a clan.

1) Inception - some guy (or small group of guys) gets it in their head to form a clan. It will be the greatest of all clans, with the highest ideals or some such.

2) The growth - The clan is born and grows, almost nothing like the inception, but nobody really cares. People join.

3) The golden age - All is well in the clan, it's runnin' smooth, people come to the meetings, play games, have a great time. All is well. Typically lasts a few monthes, but not much longer.

4) The decline. Something happens. doesn't matter what, but the clan goes into a slum and never really gets out.

5) The revival. A few of the "loyalists", yearning for the golden age, do all they can to revive the clan and bring it back. They do not realize that this is pretty near always a futile gesture.

6) The revelation - Those attempting the revival realize that all of them just want the clan to be back in the golden age, but that none of them really want to do any of the work involved to do it.

7) The End - Slowly, the last attempts at The Revival fade away. Sometimes they succeed, most often they fail. One by one, the members move on to other things.

Your friend is in stage 5, the revival. Safe Haven is currently in the beginning moments of stage 7. In truth, probably the only way to help him would be to combine forces, but you'd only get a half-hearted effort on SH's part. Personally, I don't even want to try anymore, though I will stick around for a while, and I will finish DoG. Otherwise, barring a miracle, aint much gonna happen. Ahh well, thems the breaks.
