This is definetly a concern and also one I've covered in the first post. A new site would require participation, basically people to fill it with content, so that it starts generating backlinks and so on and eventually appears visibly in a google search. Only at that point should one expect it to get new members in a way which is sustainable.
To be fair, there is stuff we could do to help
somewhat. Perhaps we could put some cash together to run a google ad and we can of course promote the site ourselves on facebook and so on.
