They had some contests, I think. They don't hang around giving out hats anymore. Pity! I thought the hat as a "welcome wagon" gift was a great touch.
I was in the guild before the wipe. The only reason I could think for the wipe was because some original ambassadors were ticked off because they couldn't prevent the mod who took over leadership from appointing someone who was very obvious in wanting to be appointed. It was felt by many that one should be more subtle, I guess. The ticked off ambassadors somehow got under the skin of the mod who took over from the original mod who created it, so he went on vacation and came back and disbanded the Ambassadors. He also de-activated the hats that gave out gift hats. After a month of non-activity, he took new applications. Then a month or two later, he quit working for the moderator rental agency that STS uses. The torch was passed to a different mod.
I chose not to re-apply. I did not consider the action of disbandment to be something that furthered community spirit, to put it mildly. I could not understand how the devs who I thought I knew would permit it. So I can't tell you anything much about the new guild.
