I was thinking that it would be a good idea to have a guild charity set up in the main Gaia forums. It would serve two purposes: one, it would help new members of the site (it would be for new members only, not people who were questing), and since it would be sponsored by the guild it would help advertise to new members looking to make Christian friends. But I want some feedback on this before I go ahead and jump into something like this.
First off, would everyone be cool with having a guild charity in the main Gaia forums? And secondly, would it be used to donate gold, items, or both to new members? If we were to give away items, I'm thinking there would just be a list of available items and new members could come in and see what they could have. There'd be limits and rules and all that, but for now I'm just tossing ideas around.
The other thing is that this would all be done through the guild mule, A New Creature, so I would have to ask that all donations to the guild from the start of the charity would go to that account rather than directly to the guild.
I'm basically looking to set up a charity thread alot like the Salvation Army of Gaia. What's everyone think?

Okay, so I'm finally getting around to this. I've gotten a good number of the surveys back now (not all, but I haven't gotten anymore in a month or so) so here's the basic gist, and then we can all have some open discussion about the details.
First off, do you think that a guild-sponsored Charity in Gaia's main forums is a good idea, both for helping new site members (anyone with an account older than six months would not be eligible for the charity) and bringing more members to the guild?
Everyone replied with a resounding yes, we should have a charity. Someone suggested putting it in the guild itself since having it in the main Gaia forums would mean we'd need to keep it active enough to be seen on the main pages. You all can feel free to discuss this in this thread. 3nodding
The Charity will give out items through the guild mule. Should the items be sold very cheap (something like Salvation Army) or simply given away, but at a limit (no more than three free items per person, etc.)?
The opinions on this were somewhat split, but from what I could understand, most people thought it would be a much better idea to just sell things for very cheaply rather than simply giving stuff away. Someone suggested selling things that were over a certain price in the Gaia shops for cheap, and then anything that was under that price could just be given away, since they were sold cheaply in the shops. That was also what I was thinking (so there would be two categories people could pick from). As for donating gold through the charity people had some concerns about that (having enough gold to donate, who to donate to, how those people were chosen, people abusing the system using mules, etc.) Again, lets discuss it. 3nodding
Since the Charity will be using the guild mule to handle all transactions, would you be willing to make donations of gold and/or items to help out?
Everyone pretty much said yeah. They wouldn't even need to be spectacular items either- stuff you get in the daily chance or stuff you can't sell on the marketplace or crappy stuff you get in gift boxes, etc. I know I'll be using everything I get in the daily chance for the charity.
So that's basically the sum-up of everyone's thoughts on the issue. Discuss??
