Very similar comment to what I was just about to post.

Most people seem to side with Hoots and that's perfectly understandable, but look at it from the officer's point of view.

You have a successful weekend only guild.... there are people there who can (and might at times prefer) to raid on weekdays but don't because the official raids are weekends, and they are generally happy with the guild.

Suddenly there is an "alt" raid on Monday. Now it's time for the official run, and, oddly, PewPew3 doesn't show up on Sat night but ends up in the alt run (who could turn down a main.) Slowly, the alt run becomes more and more a home for mains who didn't feel like raiding on the weekend. Then they ask themselves, why not do this run on Tuesday?

Now your weekend only guild is like the vast majority of raiding guilds and those that could only raid weekends have lost what they created.

I realize the "slippery slope" logic is false, but it's far to easy to see how something like this could happen.
