Should inactive guilds be closed?

This has high likelihood of becoming a Gaian economics question as well. But you know how there are so many guilds that are dead for years, and it seems like the captains don't even visit Gaia anymore? Should those guilds be closed down to free up space for the website? I mean, it just seems like a waste of e-resources in the long run since these inactive guilds eventually add up. But maybe I'm missing some crucial elements here, since I still don't the workings of this web community in detail. Care to fill in the blanks? An opinion from you, at least?

Some are used as storage facilities. Some are getting sold/bought, and some people just take a WHILE to let go. Deactivated guilds that were never allowed to be used because they were created from a glitch, yes, something should be done with those.

If you edit the guild ID number in the url, the Cappy guild is the oldest guild and it is deactivated now. Maybe Gaia should auction off the guild IDs that are totally empty, no information in the guild, not post s no anything, like the guilds from the glitch.

Also perhaps guilds that have been shut down by gaia that are still around. Like the old captains guild. but also guilds that broke the rules things dedicated to adult content if you catch my drift. stuff like that the IDs space needs to be redistributed for more space.

No, they shouldn't be.

The old guilds may be reused one day, much like old user accounts.

That is to say ... I think people have changes of heart.

On reading the previous posts, I guess I can refine my question a bit more. My intention is to direct it at guilds that will no longer be used, like the deactivated ones mentioned by LillianSaire and The Phantom Slasher. Either that, or possibly giving Gaians the option to close a guild completely and free the guildID back into the market without selling it as a 2nd hand guild.

I do agree with you about old guilds having potential to be picked up again by their captains though.

I think those type guilds, if useful, should be user ran, like the captains guild used to be a user ran guild. now it is deactivated as someone previously said. So I think if the guilds contain useful information, then they should be user ran.

I think you completely misunderstood my OP.
