I would imagine its a catch-22 . . . it probably takes a couple years for your image to catch up with your reality. And of course to change the image you would need to change the reality.
But you can't attract the new members you need because of your image. And you don't want to hide/lose the members that give you the bad image . . . Checkmate.
