Games can't, generally, survive losing the DM. That said, a steady loss of players can be really demoralising for all involved, especially if those departing don't take the time to notify others that they are dropping out. Sometimes there are good reasons for this. But generally, taking 10 minutes to post a 'sorry, have to drop out' notice is not an unreasonable ask. The anonymity of the forums contributes to this, I think. People put it off and put it off and then, because it has been so long, are too embarrassed to post up and let people know. Perhaps ensuring that email addresses are exchanged, or activated in the profiles, would be one way of reducing this behaviour.dogheadaka thotd</blockquote>
