I hate seeing people do that on BYOND. It really grinds my gears.
Heh, yeah. He drew it after people kept logging into Spliter Cell:DA and leaving before they could start a game.
Yeah. I see that problem in other games, but fortunaly most games I play online only require one person, or require so many that you only join a server unless it already has a bunch of people(Battlefield).

On BYOND, I really saw this problem in the chat programs. I would join 3 of them at a time. Keeping them all visible together. I would turn away for five minutes and someone would have already came, said hello, then left again, just because I wasn't sitting there waiting on them and nobody else was in there.
Yessiree.
I've done it before on Byond chat programs. I'll pop in, wait around for a minute, and if it's dead I'll just leave. Similar thing if a game is really really dead at a point in the day. I don't log into a chat program to wait around and not chat. :P
We all know you were looking for somebody to finish your dealing there Sarm >_>
That is the problem. Everyone does that. Nobody hangs around enough to draw a crowd.

If the problem you had was that there was nobody to talk to, than by leaving you only made the problem worse. 'This place looks run down, set it on fire.' OK, so comparing burning down a shack and leaving a chatroom aren't quite the same, but you get the idea.
