Many have asked, and the staff have never answered. My theory is that they recognized that forums are a terrible way to share guild info.
For one thing, guilds are constantly posting (uselessly) to their own thread, to try and get it to rank higher. For another, guild info changes (eg. officers leave or join) ... but there's no way to edit the original guild forum post. Guilds can post updated info later ... but it quickly gets buried by the pointless "drive our guild up" posts.
And then there's the issue with angry person from guild A crap posting in guild B's thread ... and it's the staff that has to deal with the clean-up. So my theory is that they said "why should we waste our time dealing with all of that, when it doesn't even do a good job of sharing guild info ... and the wiki has everything anyone could need?"
(But they didn't remove the Blue guild forum, because people were used to it.)
