I thought id post a list of the things that our guild does to give other people ideas, and maybe get a few good ideas aswell.
1) Unbuffed hunting....get some ubese and go out in a group totally unbuffed (doc or entertainer)...just surviving with food, drink, spiceand heals...give docs a thing to do again!!
2) High end mobs....Krayts, Elders and Gorax are all fun...get buffed up (or not!...see (1)) and go kill!!
3) Dungeons....Death Watch Bunker, Geonosian Cave, Corvette...all fun and death!
4) Space...for those with JTL...(is there anything to do in space thats fun?...im not into it atall).
5) Social events...comedy nights etc can work well with a good turnout.
Well thats what I can think of off the top of my head...anyone got anything fun they are willing to share?

You should wear bone armor instead. It is cheap to make and has low HAM costs for those unbuffed hunts
Justcraft it withsome voritor segments to give you a little bit of kinetic protection if you are going to be fighting animals.

Here's something space related that our guild has done a few times, and it's been a blast.
we're lucky enough to have 3 or 4 Imperial Ace Pilots in our guild. 2 of them have Decimators. we load 2 gunners, a co-pilot, and a repairman in each decimator, and head to deep space to destroy Corellian Corvettes. This has always been a blast. especially when we start taking damage, and the repair man or men are running all over the ship fixing things with repair kits.
we'll also group up in space, and help a guildie do a level 3 mission (some of these are marathon missions) and as a group, we can burn through the missions real fast.
big game and high end caves are always fun as well. like gorax, krayt, nightsisters, vette, DWB, geonosian.
we haven't tried having any social events yet, but maybe sometime. i was thinking about sometime holding a street fair in our city. we'll have special vendors set up, entertainerment in the cantina. maybe even a fashion show, costume contest, beauty pageant type stuff. we can have a fishing derby (there's several rivers nearby). and of course the big crowd bringer, the pvp tournament. set off some fireworks at the end to cap the event off. sometime we'll get that planned out.
but yes, there is still fun to be had in the game, you just need to get out there and enjoy it.

As far as social events go, my toons seem to be on fairly active servers. On Valcyn, one guild has a monthly slave auction, and from time to time has bar brawls with similar rules as above - no buffs, no armor, no weapons, etc.
On Kauri, our reigning social planner just quit the game, so we're a bit empty in that area at the moment. She did all kinds of events, like Theed Idol, the Kauri Player of the Year Awards, and parties for random occasions. I suggest you take a look at the player events for each galaxy, most servers have TONS of great ideas.

*GAMBLING*
In MY guild we have had quite a bit of dice gambling going on!
There's nothing like the thrill of playing hazard, especially when it is hard cash involved. It's also great for the RP types out there - and you don't have to send up fireworks either.
The way we do it is explained in detail here.
Whenever there's a game, we commemorate the event by making a special dice with the date, name of the winner, and amount won, for instance "12/12'05 - Lacq won 1.000.000 credits". The dice are diplayed on the wall for everyone to mourn or admire.
It's incredibly fun to play, and if you're a high roller watch out for those gambling debts! 
*A GAME OF RIDDLES*
I have been playing with an idea about some sort of game that one can play with several others, and I will share the idea to the rest of the community:
Any of you guys read Dan Browne's "The da Vinci Code"? In this book, the people are searching for a treasure using clues and solving puzzles and riddles they get from all sorts of places. The same thingis really easy to make into a player-made quest! All you need is a couple of people willing to lend some space in their houses and/or a couple of lots, plus an ARTISAN to make artefacts with clues.
First: Make up a series of puzzles, riddles etc. that leads to another, that leads to another (etc.), that leads to some sort of GOAL.
Then have an artisan make a couple of objects named with the riddles, for instance a plant named "Lok -4321 456". At /way -4321 456 on Lok somebody you're arranging this with has a house or puts up a house. Inside, there may be a loveseat saying "speak to Lacq in person - password: Jabba's toenails". The quest brings you to find Lacq and give the password so the player gets the next riddle and so on. Get the flow of it?
You can makethe gameas simple or elaborate as you want to, you can involve your guildmates or make it a competition between guilds, and the prize can be anything you choose: Glory & honor, a final custom-made object, a YT-1300 or 50.000 credits.

We tried (and failed) to get this idea going.
Custom missions - have a vendor with items on, listing in their descriptions the mission. Players buy a 'mission acceptance' chip, then do the mission, be it locating xx resource, or scouting a building (we went searching across planets for non-poi areas, such as small bases on lok, or objects on other planets that were recognisable. Fun, but we based our targets a little too high and everyone lost faith.

Throw a party in whatever city you happen to be in around the local shuttleport, cantina, etc. Invite your guilds smugglers, chefs, entertainers and other profs and let them have a networking party. I've always fancied events that had animal fights hosted by CHs where smugglers would work as bookies while slicing items and selling spice in a back corner of the cantina. Chefs can sell food while entertainers work for their dinner.
All in all it can be a fun event that usually ends in a PVP melee in the cantina. Add some other quirky things and you've got yourself a regular underworld haven that will draw people from all across the server and probably garner you some new guild members as well.
