Aes Sedai
If I'm correct, this is just the novices. I think she was talking about "belonging" more as a citizen, and they can see the Tavern.
A thought that occurs to me - "guilds" and "spam" seem a bit conceptually divergent from each other.
(Maybe it's just a disconnect in my mind. I realize that spam can and does occur everywhere to some extent, particularly in any sort of guild/clubhouse. I guess that when I think spam, I think random/unconnected to a thread's nominal purpose, unless that purpose is spam.......I'm just rambling at this point... :P )
Alora, i see your point of view on this, but quite frankly i think there is zero chance of this happening, because in a nutshell, this would just be naming groups of friends, and letting them have their own subforums. and that, is too much of a headache from a admin point of view.
ETA:
Its kinda like a group of friends in school comprised of members of the football team, the drama club, and the school newspaper, saying they want a name and their own classroom to hang out in.
If they grant a special forum for one group, then every group needs one, and do you have any idea how many groups there has been over the 11+ years this place has been running... it would be ridiculous.
Your idea is nice, but it will cause way too many headaches to be worth it.
