It is not that they are opposed to adding new people as such, but more that they are not actively trying to find new people and are a bit wary of adding the "wrong" persons.
This means that the new people will have to work much harder to join an established group since they will have to be the sole driving force behind the recruitement process.
Newer groups however will often be much more open to add new people to their group. The relationships within the group will be less entrenched and thus new people will cause less disruption.
They will often actively try to recruit people who might be a good fit - making it much easier for new people to join.
I guess, too, I have never so much been inclined to find groups to rp with, for the most part -- while I'll help friends with theirs, I've always found that my favorite ff rp is when I find one or two people and establish our stuff for however it lasts until we reach the end and move on to other stuff (or, as sometimes happens, we drift apart or it doesn't quite come together).
But I guess if you're primarily interested in FC rp then yeah, I can see how that would be problematic.
Why don't more people who aren't already entrenched in a group start stuff together? Lack of desire to spearhead something? Or more a desire to become part of building something that's already started? Less risk?
