Sigil was an interesting World of Warcraft guild – very proud, very capable, but not unlike its mascot phoenix, it was prone to fiery deaths, and rebirths from the ashes of its former glory. That said, this screenshot represents a site for the third “version” of Sigil after its former death – and, at that point, the phoenix symbolism was intentional.

	The design was very straight-forward. At the front, it featured news, a Twitter feed about site status and site updates, recent posts, overall site statics (like how many posts, topics, users), the top posters, and who was last online.
	The site was equipped with a very active, highly organized forum – specialized to the specifics of socialization between WoW players. Players could link their profiles with the Warcraft Armory and have up-to-date character statistics display on their posts. Users could specify custom colors for their text (within a limited range, to preserve visibility), which would register everywhere around the site.
	Complimentary to the forum, there was also a persistent chat, powered by Ajax. An effective and excellent way to waste time. Many members used this while at work or elsewhere – an effective way to chat with your guildmates, without being in the game.
