Nothing is set in stone, this is all brain storming. Of the 22 votes cast at this time, only 59% have voted for it, therefore, more then likely we won't be transferring, I am not willing to abandon a good chunk of our raid team just to make recruiting easy for myself and for others in the future.
Skullcrusher has been my home server for 6 years now, and leaving it won't be an easy choice.
That being said, we NEED to sort out a way to continue gaining skilled players to join us, all the talent on skullcrusher that is worth having are already loyal to a guild, so it wont be an easy task. We are losing our players faster then I am able to replace them, I am sure you have noticed the dire situation we are in currently, every night the last 2 weeks, we have had no subs to swap people in and out, and we have barely filled. Last week we brought 2 casual within the guild to fill, and this week we had to bring a non-guild member to fill.
in the last month we have lost: Justicemaker, Pikachu, Lyntha, Rawberrie, Aweburn, Chex, Chartul, Unholyfaith..... and we have gained Darizz and Commie.. not exactly even in terms of a recruitment standpoint.
That doesnt prove anything, just because Skullcrusher has that many characters... less then 3500 of those characters are active in the game, and even less then that are dedicated raiders.

Look how many active raiding guilds there are on the server right now. Only around 37!!!!
Now look how many active raiding guilds we had at the start of Cata. Roughly 170 ranked raiding guilds..... see that massive drop in the number of active raiding players....

Hell we had more active raiding 25 man guilds during ICC then we have raiding guilds in general right now

Skullcrusher IS the issue here.
