My two copper:

1) Keep any remaining alts of those who hopped over. People can whisper just as easily from another guild as they can in your own. Of course, remove all the alts of the GF and the former-RL if they still exist. The moment anyone gets close to poaching behavior, that alt is gone.

2) Be honest with your remaining raiders. Don't ever say "Dunno" or shrug your shoulders when someone asks what's up. With this being the Holiday season, people are going to be in and out constantly in availability. You will have to explain it more than once, and each time make sure they come off as the unreasonable people. Explain how it began as an alt guild and they spontaneously starting poaching. Don't be vulgar, but be harsh and play the victim.

3) Persevere. If your raiders get more than a week dropped from this sort of situation, depending on how flighty they are you might have to kiss your raiding guild goodbye. Supplement with trusted friends of raiders if you have to do so to get the numbers.
