Hi Ken,
I will confess to being a "lurker". I've definitely visited the forums since 2011 but in listening mode rather than commenting mode. I think this is an excellent conversation, although it could have a better title. I, personally, don't think the Guild is going to "die". There are too many of us personally invested in it for that to happen. The fact that we're having this discussion is evidence for that. But I don't want to understate the challenges we currently face. It's going to take all of us pulling together to overcome those challenges and to find the way or ways forward. Maybe regional chapters would be a way to keep all of us more involved.
Thanks,
John
