Actually logic suggests that it would never reach zero; there would always be a community out there.

I didn't say the pattern was linear.
Indeed, its exponential decay.

Now then, as an exponential decay curve, the current population is given by [origional population] x [1 - decay]^[current time/6 months]

As such, the community is now at 27% of the origional [or it will be at about december.] The community will require 37 months to reduce to 10%; 5 years to reduce to 5% and 10 years to reduce to 1% [about which time the game will become functionally dead.] You should be the last Jazz fan in about 20 years.
