I was talking more general, in that a DM who does it online can advertise a very restricted game and still get loads of people who want to play. By that I mean something like "Playing in such setting (could be homebrew or published), where all the characters must be halfling barbarian identical siblings (probably quadruplets or quintuplets depending on number of players) with short brown hair, green eyes, talk with a lisp. Point buy of 10. Play every Monday for 10 hours starting at noon" or something similarly restrictive. The DM would probably still have to sift through quite a few applications despite a lot of people thinking those are ridiculously restrictive. But, if everyone in that game enjoys it, that is plenty awesome. I never would.As for me, the "what friends and FOF have schedules that line up on day X and want to join this campaign" doesn't register with me. I guess I am weird. When I get a game going, I say we will be playing on this day every week/2 weeks between these times. If you can't consistently make it, I'd rather you sit out. Getting together after the game ends and saying "I can play on this day at this time next week, what about you guys?" just isn't something I want to be a part of. I guess I just view playing D&D differently from most people. I view it as much a commitment as my job or a doctor's appointment or going to a bar with friends every Friday night or such.</blockquote>
