Running a Large Guild

[Sam DeathWalker]

Well I recently took over a 1000 man level 25 guild on Ner'zhul (as you can see accumulating a ton of gold is yet another way to advance).

Sponsored By WOTLK (I'm the GM and been so for a few days).

Armory is down so I can't give a link.

Of course I have no idea how to run a guild with other people in it. I did it mainly so I would have all guild perks for my characters (see how fast I will level when I get RAF and have these guild perks).

Anyway the guild was not very active with raids being pugs and I think the reason it always has 1000 members is that anyone can invite anyone lol ... but there does seem to be some (a lot?) of solid level 85 players and I have made 3 of them raid leaders. Of course a lot might quit when they see the change in leadership but as the prior GM logged on once a month or so dosn't seem he really bonded with the membership. Im not planing to raid myself but as the guild with be "The DeathWalker Empire" I don't plan on sitting around like a potted plant eaither. I never heard of a guild that didnt schdual raids.

So what kind of addons should I use for DKP or whatever system is in vogue now and setting raid times and organizing all that and some kind of software or addon to have a forum or some way to communicate with members that isnt the MOTD?

EGPG seems popular for the DKP system; and

has a long list of website stuffs. I don't want to mix my personal web site with the guild site so I'll host it somewhere else. Anyone have experience with these guild website ultities?

Anyway what are people here using in their guilds or guilds they are in?
