First off we always need more boobs. I disagree with the basic premise behind your post. It's scientifically and factually wrong.
With that said the majority of people aren't hugely into learning new technologies and over complicated systems. To get more people you need to have a simple and well running system for people to use with interesting content. It's that simple. Content we have when you can find it but the whole system is over complicated and tough to get into.
I'm hoping that as soon as the proposal system comes in that we can start getting some of the more basic and necessary work done to the chain. the bits that have been missing since the start.
