A clan as a dying entity.

We don't usually "hoard secrets." There's a lot of game information on the forum, and players continue to ask questions, and others continue to answer them if they can.

I don't think the organization will die out. The game itself is popular, and there are people who enjoy working on it or playing it.
In general, we need to build a leadership structure that will keep people interested and clans in a state of competition (more on this below).
