One of the reasons why some are hesitant to start a new one is because of the inexperience everyone will have going in the first few times. You almost have to wonder if someone who did take on the task of starting one would be bold enough to ask a few of the players experienced at these events would come and train those of the new ls to lead them.
Either way, it's still a long way off for me, but if the others are closed and a new one is to be formed, it would be great if someone could help the new ls get going without leaving the one they are currently in.
