I'm having a difficult time coming up with relatable, fun topics or things to make the guild better. So I wanted to ask you guys what you think would be an interesting addition to threads, subforums... Anything, really!
I'm also looking for people to help me out with recruiting, a front page layout, help with making topics, contest ideas, ideas for prizes, etc! So please don't hesitate to post an application for Crew or VC! We could use the help.
Right now we're in our beginning stages, so please don't hesitate to suggest your ideas! We want to grow as a guild and have a fun time with people around our own age. Let me know if you have subforum ideas that we're lacking, or by all means, post your own topics! We want to get to know each other and be a fun guild. ^-^

One thing (thats my opinion) is that since the guild is not very active yet, maybe not have that many subforums, where there is no action? Just kind of makes the place more empty, than say 3-5 active subforums, instead of like 10 where most have no posts?
Otherwise I hope people start posting more!

That's true... I just wanted there to be options, y'know? Any ideas what should stay/what's unnecessary at this moment? I don't want to overwhelm people, but at the same time, I don't want the guild to be boring. Maybe voting on what should stay/what should go?

ok so what I feel is a bit too much/redundant at this stage: Ohayou,fellow Otaku! 【Anime/Manga】 (already a book/entertainment forum. But then again, I don't really read/watch mange/anime) Randomness Ahoy!【Chatterbox】(main thread should be enough place to chat, until it becomes more active?) Knock, knock! 【Memes, Jokes, Puns & More!】 Challenge Accepted! 【Contests, Quizzes, Forum Games & More!】 (these two, just not enough people atm to have them actually function?) t Comes in a Can! 【Pure Spam】(again, nto enough people, and kind of overlaps with chatterbox topic-wise?) t's not like I eat Cup Ramen everyday... 【Cooking Tips/Recipes】(I love cooking, but the main forum on gaia is pretty dead when it comes to cooking, so maybe this one won't be that attractive to people to chat in? Although I am kind of confliced... other people will have to put their opinions in)
Just my 5 cent smile if anyone has any very strong opinions or anything, I don't mind smile I also just returned, and have never been one for the chatterbox ever, so maybe I just don't get something that other people find amusing

Got some good points there... Maybe combining some so it's not so much at once? So instead of so many subforums, we have the popular options but combined better? I know a lot of people like anime/manga and like to share favorites. (I am one of them) but it could be put into the entertainment subforum. Something like that...? That could work well. ^^
And no worries. I love getting input,opinions and thoughts from guildmates. It makes it more of a community. ^_^

Yes, my thought exactly! Better to have 5 active subforums, than 15 with no action that makes the place look dead! 3nodding

Yes, I'm actually looking into finding someone who would be able to do banners for the guild and/or a front guild page layout so it looks prettier. I'm working on it. But I can make it a bit prettier in the meantime. ^^

Sounds good!

Well hello there, my dearest~! I'm glad that you gave your input, too! I'll edit the subforums in a few minutes. And Paranoia, for me at least, is when I can't stop thinking about something and worrying it'll happen to the point of panic. So in my case, it's overthinking that causes it. I'd be told I "was being paranoid" when I think like that.. The actual definition is (extremely boring) but here:
par·a·noi·a ˌperəˈnoiə noun noun: paranoia a mental condition characterized by delusions of persecution, unwarranted jealousy, or exaggerated self-importance, typically elaborated into an organized system. It may be an aspect of chronic personality disorder, or of a serious condition such as schizophrenia in which the person loses touch with reality. synonyms: persecution complex, delusions, obsession, psychosis "her husband had concocted a cruel scheme to inflict her with paranoia" - suspicion and mistrust of people or their actions without evidence or justification. "the global paranoia about hackers and viruses is getting worse"
But I definitely get paranoid at times, especially when I overthink and worry about things. It's a part of my personal health issues, so I try to work through it.

I was just trying to be cheeky acting paranoid while pretending to ignose the meaning of the word. Like in Foster's home for Imaginary friends when Bloo doesnt know what Sarcasm is even though he is being sarcastic to everyone without even knowing how are you today sweetie?

Oh great I am glad you like it.
I love it! I'm gonna work on getting it up and running today!
Also, what do you think about having a guild donations mule? I could make an account that would work as a donations mule, so we have presents to give for birthdays, contests, etc?
Since we don't need platinum donated to the guild itself because we're maxed out, any donations could go to a guild mule that we use just for the guild. Right now, Erp Derp is my side account I figured we could use for donations, but it may be better to make a guild-related account instead. What do you think?
