Guilds that require email address

I'd like to say up front, that if your guild requires an email address before you list your members, charter, and other things that make you unique... you aren't going to get an application from me. Your top-level page should be a _sales_ pitch to new members, not a "login" screen.

Come visit REMNANTS OF ASCALON . We are a fun loving guild and love to meet new people. Stop by to chat, ask questions and see what we have to offer!!!

Umm...that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
