The door has already been left open on that barn. We've invited in folks that were just friends and family of Lurkers and I have no intention of kicking them out. I also have no intention of making a rule that no one who hasn't been on the Lounge can be in the Stormrage Guild. I think I've pointed out (at least to me) endlessly the flaws in basing membership on something as mercurial as "history with the website" or Basin Games or Diablo 2 on USEast. I much prefer to think that quality folks (those who post regularly on the boards) will attract quality folks to the in game Guild. So I stand by the statement that any friend of a Lurker will be a friend of mine in the game. To protect my naiveté and the Guild I decided to add a buffer rank. I'm sorry that this decision is despicable to you but it still seems less restrictive and more fun based than me taking the ability to invite away from everyone and leaving it in my hands.
