The problem is that official factions eventually loose members and die during the time while new people are making new factions witch could not be official at the same time due to 1 Faction per ID rule, denying to unofficial factions to recruit wont solve the problem.
This rule is silly, and I dont see recruiting in forum as big official faction perk since if the new players in general dont like the attitude of the old "dying" official faction that holds the ID they will never join and will join the unofficial one instead even if the unofficial one cannot go official or cannot recruit on forums. Give official factions more in-game perks like flagships for example or improved trade ships for official trading factions, in-forum perks dont boost activity for the official factions because the large amount of new players who could join official factions are in game not in the forum and if they can use the same toys as the official factions I dont see why they will need official faction tag, except may be the official tag bounty multipler witch is also silly since cause of the tag this ships are easier to track .
