I just finished making the changes to the front page. I also switched us back to a public guild now that the voting is over as I said I would in the
settings change post.
I also moved this topic to our archive section as it would be confusing to leave it on the main forum.
I personally don't see a problem leaving the guild public unless we have a problem with TOS violations by non members. After all, 3 strike only works on members of the guild. However at the same time, I think keeping the guild public will allow people to better preview our guild and decide if they want to join. So I think as long as we have no problems from the non members visiting the site, I think keeping the guild public would only help encourage membership and would be good for the guild for now.
If anyone feels differently, please go ahead and say something here. Worst case is we end up voting on it.
