[QUOTE="covaithe, post: 4820187, member: 46559"] Lots of reasons, but they all boil down to the fact that this is just a game. Circumstances and interests change, and while it may once have been fun to spend hours a day poring over the details of character sheets and encounter prep, sooner or later just about everyone finds that they just don't have the time or interest anymore. I don't think it's possible to avoid that completely. In an ideal world, new judges and DMs would step up and take on most of the work, giving people who are flagging a bit a chance to step back and recharge their batteries. If new people step up as fast or faster than old people get tired, it works. If they don't, it doesn't, and the world just kind of slows down. (Which in turn makes is less interesting to new people, and sooner or later everyone is tired. LEW and LEB are both in that position to varying degrees.) If anyone wants to pony up a few full-time salaries, I'm sure we could find some takers to do this professionally. Short of that, we just have to be grateful for the volunteer time we do get.
