Is there less of a player pool now?

[Der Kuenstler]

I remember three or four years ago it was really easy to get about 30 games going - now I'm playing less than 10 - I'm not seeking games now - just finishing what I've started - but am wondering if we've passed the "heyday" of being able to get large numbers of games quickly. Looking at the posts for games I would think it would be quite difficult to get more than a handful now.
