i agree. Why are there so many children that play this game and find it funny to be crude? There are just so many unoriginal mentions in here. I think that most of us have seen the ones like <naga stole my bike>, <sapped girls can't say no> and <jfk was flagged> many, many times before. Not one on the first page hasn't been mentioned in multiple iterations of this thread over the last couple of years. :/
at least a few are original enough:
<brokeback moonkin>
<afk at kfc>
etc.
Not funny, but one of the most facepalm guilds on our server, that has been around since vanilla, is <raiders of epics>. At least you know where their focus lies. There are much worse guild names around, though. Misspelled words and lower-case proper nouns are definitely the most annoying, and latin names are right up there on the facepalm scale (i laughed at <insert latin words here>).
When i first started playing, my brother had some friends who made <heros of the lance>. Suffice to say, i didn't have to think twice about rejecting an invite from them.
Over the years there have been more retarded guild names than clever ones; but also, more powerful and interesting names than funny ones. There is a place for humour, definitely, but a guild name really defines who you are. Do you want to be the snotty 17-year old kid who laughs at poop jokes or the player who can have a good time but is mature enough to know when something isn't actually funny?

and all four of them were already mentioned. Sometimes it does pay to "read them all"; or at least skim through if you intend to post certain ones. There's always the search feature. It works these days.
Edit: I should add: My brother was in a pvp guild called <focus on thwtfmacestun> during tbc. Oh look,
it still exists. :d
