So I've been looking around the waiting games lately and this is no new concept but I'm getting a stronger and stronger impression that the settings on the games available is the reason why CC is shrinking in numbers.
Freestyle and Fog Trench make up the better part of the first games you see when looking to join a game.
More seasoned players may like these settings due to boredom or "point gathering" but new players(or lack thereof) who it has been more or less established are affecting membership numbers, don't have a lot of interest in playing cryptic games.
This site is becoming a place that is most comfortable to those players in their "golden years" CC wise. This sounds nice on paper but even those people who are satisfied with the current state of affairs will leave eventually, that's just normal. That being said and with the fact that new players are probably being discouraged by the foreign settings, CC is getting staler and staler by the day, not unlike the piece of bread that fell between the counter top and the refrigerator.
So, since many people seem to notice that games are taking longer to fill up than they used to, stop creating all these point hoarding games. It's probably not CC's responsibility to solve this problem since all these games are going against the grain so to speak for the sake of shaving points.
