How do some pools plan on staying in business? I prefer to use pools that have a clear and disclosed plan for maintaining sustainability.

That's the difference between PPS and SMPPS: the latter has a clear plan for not going under in extreme bad luck.

Ok, I'll bite. What is the plan?

... it's well documented, too.

While I have a certain respect for a pool that goes into sufficent detail on it's reward system to include pseudo-code, this page tell me nothing about how the pool intends to stay in business in the long term. What would you do if practically everyone left the pool and the buffer was large and negative?
