Right now I only have 27 members, but as long as those members can find something on the site that works for them, then I don't care if I ever have any more. I've always believed that if my site can help just one person, then it is worth everything that I had to do to get it to that point.

I agree with that. I don't think there's any shame in having a small number of members - so long as they're getting what they want out of a board, what difference does it make? Numbers are just an ego thing. I'd rather have 20 interesting posters than 2000 people making a lot of debris posts.
