Of course not all fish just play till they bust then leave. Some people might be whipping out their credit cards to redeposit and keep their seat, then they look back in when they have funds and voila the game isn't running but runs as soon as they click 'sit in'. I know it'd be a nice thought but not all fish are morons, and you'd have to be a huge idiot to not realise something is going on when that happens.
What evidence are you hoping to hear? Your whole view is just so simplistic. Maybe if the sites were getting lots of complaints they'd just do something about it? Ya, sure it just takes a day of programming to solve this massive bumhunting problem and its OBV a one dimensional issue. Evidence? No problem, I have a database here of fish who have complained when noticing people sitting out when they bust....
QFT.
Pineapple888 (the person SoLost was replying to), why do you think live pros don't immediately grab their chips and insta-cashout when a fish busts? And it's not like the online fish wouldn't notice this either. When you leave a table, the Stars lobby window pops back up... and often within ten seconds after a fish leaves, the entire table has quit.
Just because someone isn't good at poker doesn't mean they are totally unobservant and oblivious to what's going on, and some of them might even be annoyed at it. I know fish who have complained about it in chat (see the LHE thread "Attn: Stars High Limit Players" if you really are curious who was compaining), and others have reported similar stories too.
