Greg, understand what you are saying, but there are times when there is no option other than have a trip at short notice, especially in regard to snow trips. Also I think there are many who maybe sitting at home bored then decide, "why not go out for a 4wd trip this weekend'. Most get at least a few takers, so all good.
Personally, I find the trips that are planned so far in advance, (not including the big central Australia trips), fill up quickly, then over time more and more people drop out. I find that a months notice is generally the perfect time frame, especially for trips that involve overnight camping.
