Not really. All the GMG needed to do was demonstrate that prior to the warning, there were reasonable steps being taken to keep the faction active. As it happens, that was impossible to prove because the faction had been effectively abandoned. They had 30 minutes of activity and forum RP had been ignored for months. That's the difference between say, GMG and Gateway.
GMG was dead and gone and a brand new faction has simply replaced them by stepping into their tag. Gateway was temporarily down on its hours because members were busy but had been interacting with people and making an effort to keep things floating. Since then HL has done an absolutely fantastic job turning things around and getting them back into a healthy position as well.
