That's true, and I think we can all agree that the people on this forum (and plenty who haven't joined us yet) will constitute the official GoW no matter where it is hosted or what form it takes. But... what happens when we form an elected council, ranks and actual membership (other than mere forum membership)... and then Cyan comes out with their own Guild structure and maybe even a website?
I'm not saying that this will happen, and if it does, we'll all simply slide over to the new "offical" system, but it's easy to say we're the official group, because we haven't done any kind of organizing or structuring which could possibly be challenged by Cyan or anyone else for that matter.
And excuse me for bringing this up so late in the conversation, but the "
poll" on the MOUL forums was *specifically* for the home of the "Unofficial Guild of Writers!!"
Thus it, as the
only claim to "officialness" this site has, actually contradicts itself!
