History
Thieving is a skill that is either LOATHED by people who complain about getting it to 53 to do Desert Treasure, or LOVED by people who complain about people who complain about getting to 53 ;D!

Its built off this love for Thieving that the Thieving Guild was born - Originally called Ardougne Thieves Guild. Thieving Guilds have come and gone, they NEVER work, but this guild was an exception to this rule.

Why? Because out of sheer luck, the right members joined the guild and helped shape it! The guild was created on the 1st of May, and it was originally left for dead.

God 3286 (Now Du Vall) originally created the guild. Another member (His name is lost ), the first member, helped update him in game about thread updates - Which was very important considering God left it for dead.

Bostonjoe (The successor with Weyfast,) was the 3rd member to join - However he was already in a clan and asked God 3286 to PM him when the clan got up and running. When the thieves guild's member count rose Bostonjoe decided to join up full time. He later rose up in the ranks and began helping schedule events.

AGAIN, the clan was left for dead. People asking for thieving tips appose to joining was a bit of a pain. But a guy eventually joined called Timbogaert (Now Ijustlolled), who inspired God to continue with the guild.

Weyfast then joined, a great asset to the guild. His incredible recruitment tactics saw the member count rise and rise.

The Guild accumulated many valuable members, such as Gno, Silvanah, 2004ownz to name a few.

The guild was passed down to BOTH Weyfast and Bostonjoe when God 3286 left the guild. With Weyfast's recruitment skills and Bostonjoe's ability to turn any dull day into a fun event made them the perfect team. But Bostonjoe decided to quit later on to play WoW. The guild was run by Weyfast and was been going for just over about 8 months.

This clan was then left by Weyfast and passed down to Samba37 and Gutgsell and they are running it to this day!
