I do not want people to be inviting a person into the in-game "guilds" just because they had a decent couple of instance runs with that person. It would be far better to refer the person to the website first and let the person get indoctrinated to the Lurker Lounge ways before having a banner over their heads advertising the Lurker Lounge.Let me set this to rights right now. I sure as hell am not going to be inviting anyone to the guild. Ever. You can ease that fear right now Mongo and get it out of your head.

Edit: One last question, you say it doesn't have to just be active posters allowed in. Good. But how do you know who actually lurks and who doesn't when you are in the game? Is it simply because they know to go to the lurkers channel? That can be spread word of mouth easily. If only people who are LLers get in, but they are true lurkers, how do we know? Could be friends of friends of LLers, could be family members of LLers, could be random people who happened to hear about it from "some guy". If you're going to say only people from the forums (even those lurking) can join the guild, you need to say how we know that they really, truly are from the forums. Answer me that and I'll stop harping about the cliquishness.
