All of the top three are still there; that's what's important. A lot of the unranked ones and new members are climbing quickly too. Most of the Apostles are still there, too.
The point is that the important ones are mostly still around. The others make great place-holders. You know; people that you have to beat to advance a rank. It's a set number, so it doesn't go anywhere, which is more convenient than you might think. Which brings me to my next suggestion.
Competition is a great motivator. I think your high-poster list should be moved up in terms of importance. Regular updates, either weekly, or whenever somethings changed. I check mine, daily.

When I said "shame they left"
I was talking about from IoG x3

But yes.. I need to find someone to work on the High posters list.

Ah, excuse the misunderstanding.
Well, once I was initially banned, a number of people were put off and left. I never asked anyone to leave, but Tori got a guild comment on her profile at some point and I suggested that if her comment box was being used by a guild that she (as my right hand woman) was still a member of after I was kicked out... Well, quite frankly, it made us both look a bit foolish. It was only then that she took the time to quit.
Just as before, if I am part of the Crew of a guild, I take a personal stake in it's success. I have already sent an invite to Tori, and by the time the weekend draws to a close, I'll have at least a few more, though I tend to do things one at a time and speak to each member first. Now that I have been fully reinstated, I don't think anyone will be reticent.

Another little suggestion, in regards to the list, however. I think that it's a fun, clever way of doing things, and a sense of humor is essential, but it's less of a motivating factor. Perhaps I'm being unclear.
To speak with perfect candor and frankness, I'd have to say that Captain Planet is a show we can all watch and get a chuckle out of. He's blue with a green mullet, and flowing forth from his mouth during his every on-screen moment is an endless stream of one-liners. It's great, but not something people will be excited about advancing in.
So I was thinking that perhaps this could be altered a bit into something a bit... Well, to put it simply, "Cooler." Preferably something related to sleep or not sleeping, or insomnia.
Personally, I'd look at it from a mythological standpoint. Elves don't sleep at all, so maybe those in the first rank could be "The Fair Folk." Undead don't, either, so maybe the next rank up could be something such as "The Deathless Ones." Eventually this might all work up to something a bit more epic, like "Sons/Daughters of Hypnos." Hypnos being a god of sleep. Somnos was as well. There are probably others, but I'm only throwing out random ideas, right now.
I don't mean to insult the original list creators, idea, and things like these should never be up to just one person. Those in charge should decide, but personally, I never make a change like this without putting it to a vote, but the owners should do things their way, whatever that may be.

To be honest, I'd be more active if others were more active here... But I guess that probably is the same for everyone..
It'll just be hard to get the ball rolling.

It's a self-magnifying, self-perpetuating problem. Not only is inactivity bad for its own reasons, but it makes it harder for other people to be active. If a guild is to die, it is always for this reason.
But I think that the insomniacs will be fine. Unless your a mega-conglomeration type guild, like WhyNot? you'll always have slow times. Aurora High and the Disciples have all slowed down. I think September is just a tough month for guilds, so we just have to hang in there, for now.

lol, the captain planet theme was something funny and nostalgic that I requested. I thought it was nice, but you're right that we're overdue for a theme change. Hell, we could do a new theme based on energy drinks alone. That'd be interesting. But yeah, do whatever you want to do with the theme, I'm game for it.
