Is there a shortage of players for PBW?

Yes, I would guess that a large number of those games looking for replacments are basically dead games that the owner has abandoned and the players are starting to leave out of frustration. I try to keep those cleaned up, but with so many games it's not always easy to do.

We have almost 300 people a day log on to PBW and almost 500 different people every week, so I would say we have a 'shortage' of players. But a lot of people don't like taking over for others, so many time those spots can sit empty for a while.
