Expanding Horizons was added right after I took an 8 month trip away from Guild. When I came back and saw it, it was certainly not a good sign of what the place had become in my absence. A big, new section on RPG made an old user like me curious, but clicking and looking inside showed me that this persistent world was already on life-support. 

As a returning member, not even a new member, I was extremely disappointed and had momentary thoughts of the entire Guild being the same way. Thankfully over the first few weeks of me being back I realized that the rest of the forum was about the same as ever. But now with a big, disappointing stamp that bothers me everytime I visit the main page. It didn't work out, and with a fairly small community like ours (what, 250 people and that's high rolling?) It's not going to work.

At least in my opinion.
