many try to GM before they're ready to do it. Others end up having RL come and bite them. Its a fact of life. Some RPs simply aren't ready, or get the wrong players, or are released on the second full moon in a single month, which everyone knows means that it cannot survive. Or just things happen.

We personally hold to that its better to wait with release than to rush it. Our own RP is currently about a month after OoC release and not yet on IC stage. but then, its a big one and many of the players are still crafting sheets.
