No gnomes please! ;)

History
The Spreading Taint was founded by 'Bigheadben', aka Spial/Volant/Virule/Catskills with a group of players from the Rough Trade guild on City of Heroes, during beta of World of Warcraft. Their main reason for formation was to provide a GLBT friendly guild, where all players are welcome regardless of sexual or gender orientation. As one of the founding guilds on Proudmoore, they have weathered many guild name changes to perceived TOS violations by Blizzard Admin, and today operate The Spreading Taint as an umbrella guild for 7 other sub-guilds. This was necessary to contain the many, many members of 'The Taint'. These guilds include 'Taint', 'Tainted', 'The Tainted Ones', 'Tainted Love', and 'Tainter Tots'.
In October of 2008; Taint launched two additional guilds targeted at it's raiding community; "Taint Invaders" a hardcore progression-based raiding team, "Raiders of da Lost Taint" a medium/casual-based raiding team. It also launched "Tainted Nights" to accommodate the influx of Death Knight characters.
In February of 2009; Taint launched a PvP-oriented guild called "War Taint", as well as it's third medium/casual-based raiding team, "Taint of Madness."
In December of 2009 it was decided to merge all of the sub-guilds, except the 3 raiding guilds and the PvP guild, back into one guild, "Taint", in preparation for Cataclysm, as well as to ease administration of such a large guild. This merger is expected to be finalized by the end of February 2010.
Weekly raid schedule
There are numerous 25-man and 10-man groups. For specifics on their schedules, please consult the calendar on the Taint website.
