QUESTION:

OK.  I'm here, so what IS a guild?

ANSWER:

A guild is what you make it.  The object of a guild is
for the GUILD MASTER to supply a GUILD (usually a webpage
or FTP site) for MEMBERS to share and exchange 
information and files of the related subject (in this
case, a specific anime).

GUILD MASTERS are encouraged to include MEMBERS in the
construction and maintance of the guild.  All gathered
material MUST be available either for a period of time
in the GUILD or upon request by the members.

In the later example, a list of available resources 
need to be maintained in the GUILD.

QUESTION:

Why should we let you link to OUR guild from YOUR page?

ANSWER:

Being an owner of a guild myself, I'd like to maintain
a working link to YOUR guild so visitors to MY GUILD
can be aware that there ARE other guilds available to
them.

It would be a good idea for you to keep working links
to other guilds as well.  This is all about SHARING
not "Mine is bigger than yours." So less help everyone
out.

But also realize that you can restrict some GUILD benefits
to GUILD MEMBERS.  What I'm trying to say, if I decide
to maintain a total of 20 members, it's because I don't
have the time to E-MAIL 100+ pictures from my personal
archives to 100+ people around the world.  So I reserve
that right for the GUILD MEMBERS only.

QUESTION:

What do you need from me before I can start the guild?

ANSWER:

What I would suggest is a "banner" with the guild's
name and crest on it.  Also, supply a brief description
if you think that would be necessary.

I can also place an intro HTML/HTM instead, but I prefer
the "banner" method.  It's easier for visitors to 
navigate.

QUESTION:

Why should we fill out your stupid little Guild
Application Form?

ANSWER:

It helps me to keep track of WHO is starting a GUILD and
alert people in the "GUILD'S UNDER CONSTRUCTION" area,
that you are working on a guild.  Plus, if you register
your guild with me, I'll feel obligated to help you
in your plight.
