Suggestion: slap Nigma around a bit so he gets more active again, and buy him a new connection that doesn't make people time out so he can host events again.

Moving JDC to a different season probably won't help too much. It may help you personally, but it would probably be inconvenient for some others. Frankly, I don't think there's a time where everyone would be around long enough in order not to miss a single round.
