That said, TOS always has a solid core of people. OK sometimes they change out, come or go, but there is always some carry over. The current center of the guild is different than it was when I had to cut back, but they are just as fun. Anyway as to why people leave without explaining, I suspect some don't believe that communication will help. They just assume that the guild (not just TOS) will be pissed and they want to avoid drama. It’s not possible to make all the people happy all the time.

No, log didn't mention you running a virtual chatroom but I totally understand life moves on and know most if not all things in life are non permanent. My post was about those who habitually guild hop and have this delusion that the grass is always greener mentality. An ounce of communication goes a long way. I've had many ups and downs running this guild and questioned myself as to 'why' and what not but in the end if I'm the only one left in the guild then there IS something wrong with me. =) I do praise the core group and appreciate everything they do (and don’t do).

Logtar may have told you I use to run a virtual chatroom back in the day. But I've learned that people and LIFE itself just tend to move on. Best advice I can give is praze those who come in regulary to keep a core group going which in turn can be used to attract new members. But once that core group starts disapearing, It'll be harder and harder to keep the guild going. Is hard keeping what is basicly an online family together.
