I understood perfectly well what you were trying to say. And I agree 
that things will probably be less boring when more people join. 
Nonetheless, "It's boring right now, but might change soon" is not 
really the best way to plug for something. Threats of Death by 
brushfire are much more effective.

Speaking of making things interesting... Anybody thought about the 
possibility of Moles with Super Powers?
