Ow I agree, though we've already imo accomplished quite a bit to have a Subsim group that takes part in different games. Heck I'm still suprised we've managed to keep the lolwaffles alive and kicking from 2008 to 2010 and we flew a lot back in those days pretty sure it was like 4 evenings a week and sometimes even more. I can only put blame on myself that I've let it slide as at the time I just ran out of ideas and steam for IL2.
Next I think our game library doesn't help...so much to play
back in the day I had pretty much only IL2, the rest played games I didn't had and they didn't had the games I played. I've cacthed up quite a bit in those years to my regret at times whenever I see those moths fly out of my wallet
Ah well my excuse is that I've quited smoking so better waste that saved cash on my other much worse addiction

That's part of a online community, you get some that stick and some that go. Though if you keep it up for a while you will notice that slowly but surely the core grows...even if it's a one at a time.
What I notice with our game activity we play online that it is extremly seasonal and all over the place, then we have a week or 2 we play intensively a Paradox title, then it's Civ V, then it's a classic like Rainbow Six or W:EE&W:ALB. I think we also stopped setting a date for a game we play instead it's the usual
on TS and we get to doing something when one or a few made their minds up instead of ''whatever/I'm fine with everything'' answer. If we say for example Wednesday is ArmA II perhaps it'll kick some regularity in our group? I think a week day suits better then weekend as some may actually have an attempt at ''life''
