Well, there isn't a barrier to signing up, it's just that there isn't a compelling reason to sign up. I perused a number of topics, and none of the reasons (the name of the site) were interesting, funny or motivating. Without insightful or meaningful reasons for the existing topics, it just doesn't draw me in to be a member. Since the site it supposed to provide reasons to do something, and the current reasons don't strike me as persuasive, then it seems the site doesn't quite serve its intended purpose. Therefore I wouldn't feel like it would be useful to sign up. I don't feel like I'd be missing out on anything.
If the topics had reasons for doing things that were insightful or uncommonly interesting, such that I found them at least interesting points to consider, then I'd feel like I'd be missing out if I didn't join. But since the answers to most topics were rather trite or banal, etc, then I didn't feel I learned anything new. For something like this it would seem paramount that the reasons provided (or at least, the top reasons) were original and very likely not the commonly provided or well known reasons for doing that particular thing.
Maybe you guys should rank or measure originality (or motivational quality) of answers. Or solicit the help of bloggers or other folks who are good at thinking of "why".

It's a matter of finding the early adopters who are willing to see beyond what's currently there and help build out the content/community. Thanks for your feedback.
