What Happens When Your GM Quits?

I am sure that if I searched long enough I could find the answer but...This question has been bugging me for a while.

What happens to a guild when the GM tires of POTCO and goes basic? Does he/she retain the GM position? Does it default to someone else? Or do the unsuspecting guild mates log on one morning to find that they are no longer in a guild?

What can be done when a GM just abandons the game and, therefore, the Guild? Why is it just allowed to simply flail about with no head while the body withers and dies?

Also. How many guild names are out there, unaccounted for, lost in the Ethernet for all time? You know. Start a guild with a great name, it dies and the GM drops the whole thing. Does the old name go back in the pool or is it listed forever as taken?

Big D has been talking up the whole Guild thing for a while now, singling out big successful guilds and creating contests that overwhelmingly favor these big guilds. But their Guild Management system leaves a LOT to be desired. No way to "turn a guild over" to a second in command, etc...Or is it just me?
