I think people make too many special-purpose guilds. Guilds with special purposes often lose their purpose, and then there's little reason to keep it around other than nostalgia. I think people should focus on combining the purposes of compatible guilds rather than having to build a network/infrastructure/membership for each and every one.
Don't listen to this silly man. Just do what you want with guilds. They all die eventually. And you need to make one at least once at some point to gain those sweet fame points.
