You have a thing or two to learn about online communitys. I as well as many other will only join a site if it has a lot of members/posts. Would you want to go to some board that has say 10 members or so or a board with 10,000 members. Now the forum with only 10 members might have some good tutorials and the one with 10,000 might not have as many. What you have to understand is that not everyone is just looking for some tutorials. They are looking for a good graphic community and the more members the better. Even if it is not a true amount it helps get members to join. They join and become active and then more join and become active and you now have a chain. I will tell you right now that the only reason I joined this site is because I know a lot of people here. If I had come across it anywhere else I probably would not have even signed up because there are not enough members here.
