[@Altered Tundra] Yeah, I've seen good RPs die because the GM had too much on their plate in real life. I get mad when I see people comment like "Oh then why did you start the game?" and all that, when you never know. Life has a habit of dropping a sack of poop on your lap at any given moment. That's also a game killer, when the GM or even the players have stuff to deal with, but they still say they'll come back or whatever, and gradually the interest just dies.

Seriously, I have not had one single game on here yet that has lasted more than 2 months.

I've been there more times than I can count on my fingers and toes, both as a gm and a player. And yeah, having also been the one on the side where rl has gotten in the way, I can totally understand both sides of it. I have a game that I'm in right now that hasn't seen much activity because the gms - and players - have been busy with their real life. The GMs are in school and most of the players either have full-time jobs, are going to school full-time, or both. 

I'm not holding any blame to them, but it kind of touches on the point of real life taking over big time, so I figured it was worth mentioning.
