Guild Bulletin Board where every guild member can post

We have the message boards for guild leader (and officers I believe), but it would be great if there was a message board where every member can post!
Thing is, with less players online it becomes harder to meet and exchange ideas. A guild message board where all members can post would make communication much easier, and I'm sure it would give vivid discussions too in guilds with more members online!

It's very easy to set up a forum with one of the free sites like proboards.com or something. I did it ages ago for my guild (and I'm not particularly talented at that kind of stuff) and it's a great place to keep in touch about stuff. Our forum address is in the login announcement so if we have anyone new, they know where to go. You're right about running into people online and trying to plan stuff. Toss a forum together and turn everyone loose. It's well worth it.

Simply create a website, there you can put up your own forums event messages etc no need to implement this into GW

Perhaps you don't realize that about 90% of the guilds are as good as dead. Hosted websites went down. Communication lost. Yet players left won't just give up and switch guilds. They need a way to communicate. I see enough players online in my guild, but not at the same times. Need to make plans, tell when to join for an event, such kind of things.

Omg, this is so basic! Every self respecting game should at least offer the most common ingame Web 2.0 facillities! This is not the 20th Century. I see there's also a Twitter thread around. So lets go for it!

You can make a free forum/twitter very easily. Yes an in game thing would be easier but there are good alternatives.

You're right. It is basic and maybe we'll see it implemented in GW2 but in the meantime....
I guess I still don't understand what the difference would be, other than having Anet put forth the effort instead of a guild member. If guilds are "dead", how will having an ingame messageboard be any more likely to bring them back than having one outside the game?

Honestly, you don't have to set up an entire website, just a forum. Spend about 30 minutes setting up and have a nice, serviceable forum; spend a few hours and you can customize most of them to your heart's content, if you're so inclined. If you click on my name over there to the left and then go to my homepage, you'll see what we've got set up. It's simple, but we use it very regularly and I don't know what we'd do without it.

I can setup a website. But who would know it? You see that is the problem. I cannot message anybody who is not online on the moment I am. And at this time no one in our guild is online anymore whenever someone else is online too.
But aside from that, features like this belong in todays games. Oh well, probably in GW 2 than...

Umm, post a guild announcement about it? There's that status tab on the guild roster that is designed for that exact purpose... it shows up on the screen of any guild member that logs in regardless of whether or not the person who posted it is online. Sure, you have to be an officer to make one, but if you're involved enough to want one chances are you'd fit that criteria. Just post a sentence about what it is and give the link. As far as I know there's no way to disable receiving that message upon login, so everyone should see it.
