Hello my dear Guildies,
I have taken notice of a lack of activity in the guild that really frightens me. Before our Guild Master, Pink Plastic Ninja, went on an extended, semi-permanent Gaian hiatus, this guild was one of the most active guilds I have ever had the privilege of participating in. We had events and contests that occurred semi-weekly, crack comics that were completely unrelated to the original topic, extended discussions on semi-serious topics, semi-competitive post wars to level up our ID cards, and really awkward meetings in Towns (you can even note some of these in our Photo Album).
In fact, I must shamefully admit to being guilty of neglecting my duties as a crew member. My hiatus from Net Slum occurred around my Senior year of high school and while I have never fully withdrawn from Gaia, I do confess to having signed on and not checking the guild's condition; I even attempted to make a comeback for the guild twice during this hiatus, but my efforts all eventually fell through. I sincerely believe my temporary hiatus from Net Slum as a major contributor of its decline. To make matters worse, recently, I have used this guild primarily as a way to vent my frustrations at other Gaians, and I have completely overstepped my boundaries as a member of this guild by taking advantage of my influence over other guild members. While I would never deny accusations of immaturity, I must admit that this is a low that even I could not have anticipated. For my crimes committed against this guild, I must request your acceptance of my most sincere apology.
Moving from my shortcomings, while I cannot force the Guild Sisters to completely suspend whatever may be going on in their lives and come back to the guild, I can attempt at another revival of Net Slum and hope that is sufficient enough to restore some of the life in the guild. So, here are a few of my ideas, but please feel free to suggest additional topics:
1. Contests and Events: I remember one of the most fun aspects of this guild was the semi-weekly events that PPN somehow was able to manage and coordinate. While I am no PPN, I will attempt to make more contests, including the continuation of PPN's Color-Themed Dream Avatar Contests
[[EDIT: Dream Avatar Contest: Green has been created]]
and perhaps even the creation of a Three-Year Anniversary Giveaway contest (even though I know its occurrence would be extremely late).
[[EDIT: This event is currently under private construction.]]
2. Cosplays and Tekteks: While this would take an extensive amount of time now, I am planning on posting pictures of all the conventions I have currently had to pleasure of attending. Feel free to point out that you were there and if I caught you in an image (perhaps you can remind me what you were and I can see if I captured you to the side).
3. Towns: We used to have many-a-hilarious meeting in Towns, and while I cannot assure you that I can successfully coordinate an event that I can fully attend (the Pluto's Kiss Event was a LOVELY example of this), I can at least try.
4. Game Assistance: I may attempt to make another FAQ depending on how much of a need there is to a problem. So far I have only made a Doppelganger and Omega Hidden Darkside Holy Ground, but there may be more of a need once LINK comes out in North America.
5. Mules: I cannot currently access Net Slum Dweller, Net Slum Dweller II, or Pluto Kiss Virus, all of which were Guild Mules, but I can attempt to make some accounts that serve a similar purpose. The only problem with this would be the fact that I would need Griever or Sauce-Kay to promote it so that it may make announcements to everyone. I will inform you all once I have another mule. Hell, I may even make a contest to make me a Net Slum denizen cosplay that I could make into a mule. Perhaps.
Well, this is all I have to say for now. If I think of anything else, I will update this post. I thank you all for your time in reading this, and I hope we can help this guild become more active again.
Sincerely, The Slate Scholar

I think the best this guild could hope for is a final, resounding blast caused by .hack//LINK, probably fizzling out about 2 to 4 months after its North American release. If this guild seems to be completely inactive, I'll probably make some final, extensive event to celebrate the history of .hack// and Net Slum
Actually, a great idea has come to mind. I may do something like the basis for .hack// Legend of the Twilight and raffle off some mule that comes fully equipped with a few .hack// cosplays. One male account and one female account, perhaps, depending on how much money I can accumulate between now and then.
Of course, I certainly cannot declare the Time of Death of this guild, as that decision must be made by the Guild Sisters, and IF they inform me of this decision, I will begin the event.
In the meanwhile, come up with some epic names for these mules.
