== Overview ==
The Doom Lords were a clan created by Plat. It was one of the major clans during the clan craze. At its height it had just over 100 members. It was named after Plat's main character, Juston Doomlord.
== Backstory ==
The Doom Lords had an intricate backstory written by Plat. To advertise his clan, he posted the backstory on the SAMB and added references to the clan in many large RPGs he was participating in. This helped build public awareness of the Doom Lords, which fueled their popularity. However, following the 2018 Thread Purge, the original copies of this backstory were lost. Only the clan creed remains, preserved by other MBers.
== The TAP ==
(full article here)
The Doom Lords were a member of the Triumvirate Alliance of Power (TAP), along with the Night Clan and the Dragon Guard.
== Later Years ==
After an initial period of fast growth, the Doom Lords membership increase began to wane. Plat would often post messages from Juston Doomlord, his main character and the fictional leader of the clan, to encourage people to join. This had a small effect and helped continue the growth of the clan.
After the sudden parental banishment of Plat from the SAMB, the clan had a sudden jump in membership, almost in tribute to its fallen leader. In Plat's last message to the forum, he designated floatingvolleyball11, a minor SAMBer, to be his successor as clan leader, because he allegedly knew her in real life.
However, the sudden growth was not sustainable, and without Plat around, the Doom Lords suffered a slow decay. Floatingvolleyball11 posted a few revival threads in the forum to encourage people to join, one of which on the anniversary of the clan's creation. However, by that point, most people in the forum hadn't heard of Plat or the Doom Lords before, so the revivals were met with little success.
Over time, eventually membership stabilized as old users went inactive and left their characters in the clan. Presumably the Doom Lords existed up until the very end of the SAMB.
