First Post
I'll answer for myself (being on the same side of the question as Bumbles) -
Our group has been together (core 3 anyway) for 17 years. The current group (aside from the new guy that joined about a year ago) has been together for at least 10.
The wife and I host, so rules on smoking and drinking are set by us (so no to either one). We've never had a problem keeping a full group together.
I've had two main groups in my life.
1e group of 7 (with various others joining for a short time) during my Jr. high and high school years 1982-1988.
My current group of five started when 3e came out in 2000 and has gone through 3e, 1e, M&M, 4e and various board games.
I've always hosted as well. The large oak table of my youth is now in my house.
