I believe the reason this ranger site has few members is due to the fact that FRF, TRS and R-F are around. meaning, if you and everyone else go to Home depot for your "home repairs" and "jims home repair" opens up down the block, more new people are still going to go to "Home depot" because it is "bigger" has more members, which can give it that "This is a better site" type feel. and, most people are like sheep - they follow the heard. (more members = a better site to some) this is why TRS has nearly 40,000 members. basically, TRS is "Home Depot" FRF is "Menards" R-F is "your local true value" & this forum (which unfortunately has nearly the same name as Ford Ranger Forums, is like the tiny corner hardware store.
If the owner of this site wants more members, my suggestion is to re name it something different. Like "Ranger Trucks.com"
sorry for the long post.
