I think the main thing we need to improve is player commitment. Recruitment is always nice of course, but without a solid base of support, the game just isn't the same. I watched as BtSH went from extremely active (easily the most active subforum in the TR) to pretty much a minor entity in the span of a month. Its active membership is a fraction of what it once was, which can definitely account for most of the dropoff in activity.
Of course, a solution on how to fix this is another thing.
All I'm saying is that games are more memorable if the players involved stay so until the bitter end.
