The MSFC is such a weird beast, its greatest strength is also its key flaw - the fact that it embraces all SF and not single show or facet. Folks who like a single show enough will join clubs or online groups about it, but they are unlikely to join a group that merely celebrates the genre.
Also, the MSFC looks like a place that is book-ish, even though pretty much everyone there loves TV and movies. So the folks that see the club as 90% book related don't feel there's anything for them.
These aren't new problems, they've always been there. I think it really important for clubs and cons to start finding out from the youngest people coming to things what they would like to see, and get them involved in making it happen.
I always love it when I go to the club and don't recognise people :)
