Yo, Sophie. Why don't you try to have your own IRC channel? That will help a lot. Try to look on this.
That is the official IRC channel of my guild in Seventh Dragon, the "Knights of Asan".
It would compliment in your guild forum, and it's interactive. Making your own IRC channel would be a great addition for guild communication.
