Can you raid? Yeah. You can. Is it fun? I've never found it especially fun, but that's not the point. You need to give gangs a reason to exist. You need to make gang points actually DO something. Gang activities like raiding need a purpose beyond "We raid because we raid."
You cannot just keep introducing new gangs or reviving old gangs and expecting it to somehow fix the system and add player interest. It adds a very small spark of "new" to the server (omg new gun! ew @ the gfx but still new! omg new hat!), which quickly fades in a matter of a week or two, and then you've still got a terribly broken system.
I'm not blaming you for this, it's been happening for a long time. But the gang system itself is the problem, not bringing back old gangs or bringing in new gangs. I'd like to see all the old gangs destroyed, and introduce a system like Sale's or Geo's where everyone has a chance to start gangs, and where points/raiding/anything gang related actually has purpose aside from buffing up your useless k/d stats or allowing you to mass inane drivel such as "WE GOT UR BASE BB U ***S LOLOLOL".

exactly!
new gangs are fun and cool for a few weeks and after that nobody cares about it anymore. people will quit their current gangs to join the newly uploaded gang just because everyone's raving over it, but in a matter of weeks all those members will branch off back to their old gangs, which is why new gangs usually fail.
and yes, raiding is useless. if someone raids your base, all you have to do is leave. sure the other gang can talk **** over mass messages, but nobody cares. bragging rights isn't enough for players these days. Gareth is on the right track, but I wouldn't exactly do it that way.
