I was just thinking of how nice it would be if guilds could have a message board. For instance a scribe could make one and anyone who has privileges can post to it and delete their own posts too. Sure there is the message of the day but I don’t want to edit it to simply say I’ve left some dyes in the guild stash for people to pick up. Also it would be great if it listed the date and who made the post. So it would look something like this…

-Free dyes up for grab in guild bank – 6/14/17 – circuitnerd.5863

Anyways I hope you consider this. Thanks!

An in-game guild forum doesn’t sound too bad of an idea.

In-game forums are going to inevitably be worse than out-of-game forums, and anet are not specialised developers of forum software.

You would be much, much better using an existing solution for this, out of game, and letting folks interact with it how they prefer.

Both discord and Facebook groups are excellent choices, though they function differently. Both are commonly used by people who play MMOs, etc, for other reasons.

Dedicated web forums are terrible choices. They have extremely poor utility, and add another place people need to go hunt for things – most members will never bother, compared to seeing, eg, a post show up in the facebook feed they were reading anyway.
