Why yes, people did get lame. They sit around and talk about airsoft and how much they miss it and want to play some more. They watch for the occasional game thread to pop up, and when it does they just watch to see how many people are attending. If it's up to their "standards", then they'll participate. But you know, that number on the roll call will never grow if everybody just waits for the next guy.
I scheduled a game a while back and lied about the amount. Said 20 people had signed up to participate and wouldn't you know about 40 people showed up.
So yeah, I understand why Skidude quit, and EG was before my time. But instead of sitting around bitching about how it used to be, I gather a new group of people and go play. I've gotten more new people into airsoft than I've every played with from this forum. They see discussions like this and get turned away. Some find me, some don't.
But hey, I'm not bending over backwards to make you come out and play. I'm fine with the group I get. Sometimes it's small, sometimes it's not. But we all have a good time. So if you want to sit around and rack up 1,000+ on your post count talking about playing, knock yourself out.
