It seems like post-locking is a ubiquitous part of RPG :( Even if a few members are busy, it means at least twice that amount will be unable to post and that leads to waning interest etc. I tend to blame myself for an RP becoming less active but I didn't even have the chance to bring the storylines together since most people haven't finished their first scenarios! Oh well, even if it dies... It was a good run.

I always plough through it.

Dragonbud's character is about to get shot. In the FACE. 

Nah joking, I usually just ignore their characters when they do drop out. My RP started off with about 10+ people, now there's 4, and those 6 AFK characters just stopped getting mentioned in posts and things were able to continue. You know, just make some excuse as to why they might get separated from you and plough on like a tank in a field of crap.
