I guess I would ask what sort of activities and such are you doing to teach the new members the information they need to learn. I mean, are they handed a manual and told to learn it? Are they given opportunities to interact with the active members to talk and get to know them so they feel part of the group? A lot of times when new members don't have that interaction, they aren't made to feel part of the group.

I am not saying that's what your group has done Cloud9, because I have no idea. But often times, new members aren't necessarily lazy...they just don't know how to go about things.
