Good luck, Advanced has been the target of ugly propaganda for years. I think a couple prominent players got kicked out of a roleplay in there once, and a few users were arrogant about it back in the day (like before a lot of users that perpetuate the myth ever logged on.) That's all it took to get the myth going. I can't recall ever personally meeting the stereotypical user that is rumored to lurk in Advanced.

Such a situation did happen way back in the guilds history, first or second year. advanced was more or less controlled by a handful of elitists who felt the need to tell anyone that couldn't make 6 paragraph posts every other day to bugger off.so many of us that disagreed with that approach fled to casual and coined the high-casual term. Eventually, after only a few months those elitists decided the guild simply wasn't good enough for them and moved on, made their own site I believe which promptly went through a number of problems before shutting down itself.

In short the High-casual term lingered, the original reasons for it didn't, though the event was enough to spawn the myth of advanced being this nigh unobtainable place for monolithic writers only. I frequently tried to encourage users of the high casual term to simply come on over to advanced, the high casual term is like a safety blanket these days and its really not needed in the vast majority of cases, people just need to take a step of faith outside their comfort zones.
