I came here because it seemed like the only Star Wars forum where people actually had opinions beyond blindly following what Lucas puts out. This was a community where people cared and were passionate about the original, proper versions of the films, just like I did, and what's more, they were willing to do something about it.
I stayed for two reasons - the fan edits, which I'll admit I'm not as into now as I was a year or two ago; and the people that post here. You're all stand-up folks, and you make this place feel like a real community as opposed to a place for fanboys to come and circle-jerk each other about the ridiculous minuitae of the films and the EU.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy that stuff to a certain extent - I participate in the immensely nerdy, nitpicky discussions, and they most definitely exist here. But there's more to this forum than that, and that's why I stay.
