Your rule implies causation. It also applies to so many people that it's meaningless.

So now I'm telling you that I'm not implying causation. I'm saying that it's a contributing factor, that it leads to overload and then quitting.

Okay. You know what? To each his own, just like what the other guy said. I still won't believe that you could join like 10 RPs without becoming more likely to quit than you are when you join just a few.

It's not like what happens in this thread is going to solve anything anyway, especially when proposed reasons for the phenomenon is being shot down before they are even being considered. Like in the previous incarnation of the RPguild, mountains upon mountains of dead RPs will stack up like American trash. Already, I think half the RPs in the advance section are dead.
