I don't really know what we'd be using it for. If someone could explain that to me a bit clearer, that would be great.

It would essentially replace the Guild for us, as Rose said.

Reasons why we'd do that:

1. It provides many more posting features. Colored text, highlighted text, embedded videos and Flash files, tables, font sizes, smileys, etc. The posting editor is much more powerful than the Guild's.
2. It's much more conveniently organized, since the entire thing is just Athalia (the URL even starts with "athalia"). Instead of working with a single IC and OOC thread, we have subforums for every season IC, OOC discussion with as many individual threads as you'd like, character sheets, plot sheets, spinoff RPs, off-topic discussion, and so on. It would be much more user-friendly.
3. Whereas the Guild already completely crashed once and still periodically goes down, the Yuku is backed up on a stupidly high amount of servers, according to the Yuku website. I honestly trust it more than the Guild to stay up, since it's run by a professional team and not just one guy (despite how amazing of a job Mahz does). But, as Rose said, we'd (most likely I'd) still post things on the Guild retroactively as a redundant failsafe. If either site goes down, we still have everything IC, in addition to the wiki season summaries.
4. The privacy settings are great. As of now, only approved members can post, and I can set it so that only approved members (aka us) can even access the page at all.
5. Moderation. Admins (Rose, NK and I) can edit, delete and move posts and threads as needed.
6. It's freakin' cool.

Personally, I don't mind if we use it or not. I made it and put a good amount of hours into it, so I'd like to see it used, but I won't be upset if it's not. I chose to do it myself, after all.

Rose and I have been testing it by moving our fanfic over to it. All new posts are over there now, and haven't been archived on the Guild yet. So far, it's gone really well.

If we did that, wouldn't we not get new recruits?

Correct.

Which is handy, because Athalia's been closed to new people as is for a while now.

I'm sure if we ever really wanted new recruits we could post an interest thing on here.
