I played a ton of StarCraft back in the day! I was never too serious about joining a clan (just dabbled), but I now remember some of the things you mentioned with the chat rooms, and clan "tags". I might be imagining it, but wasn't there also some way to set colors on letters in names too (holding down alt and pressing numbers or something...) That might have honestly been my first experience with "bots" for things adjacent to games.
Good memories, thanks very much for sharing!
I have no idea anymore, but I do distinctly remember some bots having red names instead of green.
Glad to bring that all back for ya.
