It's the craft services. Those inglorious moments between spotlight takes (wunder-posts) filled with precisely cubitted blocks of tummmy-filling cheese. (and typically arranged in a delightful manner)

Shared interests, shared sense of humor, articulate penpals, dependability (the threads are always moving, certain people always respond in the same ways ), new insights, vicarious pleasure, thoughtful people. Kindness -- lots of kindness.

the insidious ability of the occassional oblique post to render your ego-fat into charmful bubbling giggles.

Well, in all honesty, I'm just here to make fun of New Zealanders, New Englanders, hippies, and Mormons.

I don't remember who first refered to Hatrack as a hometown, but that's exactly it. The good thing being it's the hometown of Americans, Canadians, Australians, and even the hometown of a Frenchie like me. We just feel good and confortable here.

I enjoy the sipping of a nice lemon drink and a free-gaze at the calm seawaters lapping at the hind-quarters of well-weathered, well-stocked, and well-watered (not to mention well-wishing) hatrack fillies.

I like that if I'm gone for a few weeks or months, I know that while I will have missed things, I will still be able to jump back in pretty quickly without having to worry about the threads I may have missed. On the other hand, if I happen to have a few days with nothing to do, I know that there will always be something new for me to look at. I also love the variety of the topics. No matter what mood I'm in, there's always something with the right tone. Another thing? Everyone (or at least, most people) type in full, coherent sentences with only the occasional abbreviation or acronym, instead of speaking in code like so many of the people online these days. I like that the people here are intelligent and well-read, and yet rarely speak down to someone who may not know as much (i.e. me). I think that's enough for now.

A waste of a fine youth, frittering away his time here. And, as my father would say, likely a clotheshorse to boot. (He might just have called you a strumpet, as well, Telperion. *grin)

Because as far as I'm concerned, I like Hatrack because it's the best forum I've ever been to. As far as why I like forums, well, that's something I could go into but it seems like it would require thought and effort and other things I only exercise if the result is lust or sloth.
Also, Hatrack has jehovoid. No other part of my life has jehovoid, so I keep coming back here for more.

Hatrack is so many different things for me that I am actually stumped as to how to convey what I want to say.
If you stick around, you might just get as confused as I am! But one thing for sure, I come back for the amazing people that share their lives here. I do laugh, and cry, and think, and goof off. So in a way, Hatrack is the 31 Flavors of Life, and they are all delicious.

I keep making the best friends of my life here. Such wonderful people! Every time I consider leaving, I think of all the ones I might miss, and I can't quite bring myself to leave completely. Well, that and I'm very addicted. Posts: 2843 | Registered: A Long Time Ago!

Quite simply it is the people that post here. There is intelligence, humor, sincerity and thoughtfulness in abundance here. All other reasons are ancillary to the quality of Hatrack's citizens.
