What was it? A lot of groups used it. I cant remember the site name.
I remember a lot of groups using GuildPortal.com (I think). But I don't think it's around any more.
:( it isn't
Depends on what you want to do.
If you're looking for past content, The Wayback Machine (https://archive.org/web/web.php) is your best shot for the defunct GuildPortal. (There's a beta Site Search, but for the most part, you have to know the URL or address of the page you are looking for (https://web.archive.org/web/20070902060046/http://www.guildportal.com/Guild.aspx?GuildID=79617&TabID=1496817). If your group used a purchased domain to redirect to the GuildPortal link, that part is easy. If not, well...) It also works for SGs that didn't use GuildPortal. (One example: Triumph's Fusion Force (https://web-beta.archive.org/web/20080119194829/http://fusionforce.us).) As long as the website allowed spiders (Search Indexing), it will appear in the Wayback Machine.
If you want to make a place for your current or past group, you still have options. Enjin.com (https://www.enjin.com) isn't bad, that is, if you're looking for a new home for your Super Group or a MMO Guild in another game that behaves very similarly to GuildPortal. Other non-Gaming hosts include Weebly (https://www.weebly.com/), Wix (http://www.wix.com/), or Google Sites (http://sites.google.com) which will get a revamp (http://thenextweb.com/google/2016/11/22/much-improved-google-sites-now-available-g-suite-users/) that G Suite users have access to that I imagine will land on the public side soon. (Nevermind, the new Google Sites has soft-launched (https://sites.google.com/new).)
There's also Discord (https://www.discordapp.com), which is like Slack for gamers (with Multi-User voice chat baked instead of Slack's Calling feature). Discord may be more player-friendly if you don't want to go through "putting a site together" and like social media discussions more than Web 2.0 stuff.

Thanks a ton. This question is actually for my EVE online corporation. Big help :)
