So I have been sitting here at the computer for about 10 hours ago. And got to thinking, why do we keep coming back to this forum. Most importantly T&O. Two thing I can narrow it down to is; 1. We are almost like a family. The moderators are the parents, and everyone else are... I guess siblings. You don't see on a lot of forums, with family members such as OS's wife; make a post on a fellow forumers health condition etc. Even though some of don't agree on OS's opinions, we still care about his health. Or how we wait for another stealth story, or pb125 telling us about.... we will leave it at that. Even though most of us haven't met each other face to face (some of you guys have), we can still kind of judge how they would be in real life; for the most part. When you read a title, and see who wrote it. You pretty much know before even clicking it, what it will be about, and how they will write the story. Or what agenda they are pushing for. Some posters more blatant than others *cough* FE and PP *cough*. That is one part of this "formula".
 
2. This is probably the only forum, I can go onto. Ask any question I can think of; and get a pretty good response. Because we all come from differen't backrounds and have knowledge in vast areas. To pick a few forumers off my head.

Mainly out of habit. It's been 7 years.

There are a few people here who I had problems with in the past, but came to the realization of "Who gives a F?"


There are always great debates here, and most of the more knowledgeable in the debates tend to keep it from getting personal, which is all the better.


And I've actually met a few members from here as well.

I believe I am on record as saying that I have learned much from the forum, and most of it not paintball-related.  This continues to be an excellent source of information on a variety of subject matters, and an excellent place to be exposed to a variety of viewpoints and experiences.

Hardly - there are plenty of folks on here far to my left.  And compared to the real world I am far, far, far from the left. 
 
I wouldn't view "left" as an insult, just inaccurate.
