Why did newbie games end?

[Lukewarm]

The newbie queue was possibly my favorite queue for a long time. It definitely helped me get settled onto the site, and I honestly don't know if I would have settled in without it. And then, even after I graduated to a veteran player of the queue, I still signed up there regularly.

That being said, I also understand why the mod team felt like it became a problem. The frequency of how often the queue filled slowed dramatically over time after I joined, and I saw multiple newbies get frustrated and trying to join a game and a month or more passing and the game never started.

I don't have any answers here, but if someone is gonna run a newbie queue style game I'd be willing to help it fill.
