...if you place two water droplets next to each other, the smaller one is going to be the one that moves the most when the larger one absorbs it.
Smaller bodies are inevitably pulled in towards larger ones. This holds true for celestial bodies as well as financial ones... and communities in general, too.

EDIT:
Zoe - maybe they're not so much intimidated as they are unaware that you're there/available? I know that tends to be a problem with smaller communities. I remember back when I was helping run a small vBulletin board for Legend of Zelda fans. Our membership was really, really small for the longest time... then we made an effort to advertise and get our names out there wherever and whenever possible, and membership bloated. I really have no better word for it other than "bloated".
