I think it wasn't really just about people leaving. It is also about why people left, because LL decided not to run this anymore and decided to focus on his life. Which isn't a bad idea, like this is a casino after all and it's a business and if the business doesn't bring in enough money, or even if it brings in enough money, sometimes you may want to just leave.
Or he could be sick, like something serious and maybe he is fighting that and meanwhile doesn't want to take care of here neither. All these possibilities are probable and I think that we can easily say that if we want to leave and not gamble here, LL doesn't mind, so it's not really a big deal.
Then what happens to communication?
If LL decided he doesn't want to run this anymore and wants to go after something else, for the sake of his reputation, he could easily communicate that to those who have trusted him for years and sticking with Bitvest even there were better casinos around.
Or maybe he is really sick like you said, still, and again, what happens to communication?
If the discuss is so bad that he can not type, he could tell a friend, or family member to communicate the situation of he's into, to the forum users, after all, it's his business we talking about here,
