Some guilds may have been from 2009 (for example) and were a legend at (fill in the blank) and were very popular and well known, they didn't tower though. The leader is off for a year and their guild is gone. There's no good way on either side of the argument to find a way to open up good guild names for inactive guilds no one will ever use again, while keeping the guilds that should stay. But for that reason, I wouldn't want my guild (COVERGIRL) to be taken away if I go inactive and then decide to come back a year later. We never towered in it, or GS'd but it was a family guild and is my favorite guild name ever.  

Yeah im pretty against deleting guilds 'cause you never know if they will come back(cough pulse ldr an example) im pretty sure players can think of their own guildname than something allready taken.  

Even if members in the guild still play but the leader quit, it would still be unfair. Unless every member hasn't played for 1000 days, I'm against deleting them.  

It would be cool if any guild with nobody on tag after so long got deleted. I'm kind of curious how many hat guilds would get removed off the leaderboards.  

2009 igraal was for less than a month -.-  

If the guild's members are active is should remain, tbh it should remain all together, they made memories with it and they came up with the name so why should they be robbed of what THEY created? So some random noob can have it and invite random people to tower for 2 minutes and host fashion parties?

I think it should be deleted if nobody on the tag comes online after so long. What's the point of a guild if nobody uses or cares about it anymore? And you're assuming it would turn into a 'noob guild' when the name could be used for a spar/towering guild.

Imagine you quit for a while, and you came back and someone else was craftz and thought you were some poser.  

It's the leader's and guild members' fault if the guild gets deleted.
Even if it is possible to simply find another guild name, why keep something that is not of any use?
If your phone breaks and you get another one as a replacement, what's the need of keeping the broken one?
Even if a noob does retake the name and does what you say, it's only because the guild members did not care enough about the guild.
So, if you don't want to loose a guild which doesn't have like 50 guild hours and which hasn't been participating in any guild related activity for several months you'll simply need a member to actually wear the tag while being online once in a while.
If you don't well, you simply do not need to keep the guild alive.
So to get to my point if a guild is inactive for several time without achieving any kind of guild related exploit(GST/1k/5k/10k) or without reaching like 50 hours, it is none of our concern about whether the guild is a family guild or whatever, it hasn't been used and is not of any use on the server. If it would be of any use well someone would be playing with that guild tag.  

Each guild contributes to Classic, some more than others. Just because the guild's members are inactive or have quit, doesn't mean the history of Classic should be deleted just so some random can take that name, there's an infinite numberof words, letter combinations, and names for a guild. They can pick something that's not already taken.

That is true, they contribute to taking space on the server, in a way keeping inactive guild does contribute to the lag even if it is just a small amount it is still a problem.
And I don't think that everybody actually wants to I don't know call their guild:S098LIU700Y. So you see there are an infinite amount of combination, but not each one of them will be used for reasons such as being not cool enough or simply not being good.
Some guild do not actually contribute to Classic history. Like those small 50 hours guilds who all died, who will remember them? No one.  

Yeah inactivity should result in your guild being deleted. And I mean complete guild inactivity, not just the leader. If you and your members haven't been on tag for over a year that guild name should be deleted.

This is the only thing I agree with regarding deleting guilds, as long as the guild doesn't have tower time. If EVERY member hasn't been on in over a year, then it would be ok, but then again, how many guilds are like that, especially ones with good names?

What does this have to do with guild names??

If the guild is actually important to remember the players would put their tags on every once in a while. If not, nobody is going to care if it gets deleted.
