When Do you Close An Role-playing Game Due To Inactivity?

Sometimes the interest in a Role-playing Game may digress among Players if the Dungeon Master isn't timely in managing it, but its not always the Dungeon Master's fault. Most people online want things fast. Waiting a day is like waiting a year for them so its easy for them to be distracted because there are so many other options on the net.

If the GM were to suddenly change to a new game system AND all Players agreed then that would mean we would have to rename all Threads, update available Role-playing Games, redirect links and even move Threads from one Board to the next, so can't say I would favor increasing our workload. That's the whole point of making a Review Thread - find out who is interested and if its worth starting something new.
