What Keeps You Coming Back to RF?

[Debater Slayer]

Since there are a myriad options to choose from as far as debate, discussion, and social-media sites go, there must be something about RF in particular that keeps us regular users coming back.

For you, what keeps you interested in RF?

I like it here.

It's well-moderated.

Best religious forum out there.

It also has my only friend chicken on the internet!

(Biased opinion.)

One thing is curiosity. Another is that I guess one thing that's good is this forum has the highest "attach rate" of any forum I've seen. By "attach rate", I mean the ratio of members sticking around for 100, 200, 300, 1000+ posts.

Welcoming atmosphere.

Relatively non-judgemental.

Fast response rate of members (in general) when posting.

I like you people.

It's a nice, comfortable place to be. Far superior to the food fight i came from.
Well (reasonably) moderated. Some really good, informative threads, I've learnt things here and made some friends.
And, I've not been banned yet.

 

[Secret Chief]

Not many contentious subjects raised, such as religion.

 

[VoidCat]

I like you people.

Me and you on the same boat. I like the people here

Revoltingest is on the couch next to me with a gun to my head, and makes me post against my will. He claims to be a cop.

Sorry, but @Revoltingest is no cop.

Police chief, maybe.

The $0.00 an hour paycheck.

I think I dropped my keys somewhere around here.

The humour and the company.

The free beer

What others have already said but for another reason as well - the diversity of opinion. I might totally disagree with @esmith 99.4% of the time, for example, but I know it's good to be exposed to many opinions.

Rival.

Harel's wit.

The company of friends engaged in good discussion and lively debate over theology, science (and sometimes, for good or ill) politics.

It's been a feature of my life on-and-off for a decade now and I've had the pleasure of knowing some of my RF companions in real life.

I don't post much these days but RF will always be my go-to forum, when I have the time and inclination.

 

[LuisDantas]

Mainly I like the subject matter.

I suppose I also like the relative reluctance in avoiding difficult subject matters. And I have simply got used to it. It has been a long time with its ups and downs.

The $0.00 an hour paycheck.

It's actually €0.00 an hour. Don't make members think you don't have a livable wage here.

 

[Exaltist Ethan]

The size of the community, the variety of topics in the forums. I like how religion is focused on here but not the only thing that is discussed. And seeing what are now my friends posting around brings a warmth to my soul.

I came here to virtually brawl with @Audie, but now I come here to chat with her about bikes, Hong Kong, and all sorts of life lessons.

Moral of the story: don't let @Audie suck you into the forum!
