It\'s just not the kind of forum people are going to join right now. This may change with the PS3 release and accompanying website...
Fact is, I probably wouldn\'t join if I came across this forum now. While I wouldn\'t dream of leaving, it\'s because we\'ve evolved together and have our own group and norms that we\'re accustomed too that this forum works. For an outsider, it\'s hard to break into the group, and if you look through recent \'first post\' threads, most members certainly don\'t make it any easier on people.
