I've seen a number of posts saying that people are contemplating or planning to stay here, even when Voat returns.

I'm doing my due lurking dilligence and trying to get a feel for the site myself, but I thought I'd ask in case I miss something.

Is it just the responsive admins and the lower traffic? Or are there other things that make this place superior?

Thanks.

Thus far, I actually look forward to comment replies. With Voat, I always felt every conversation was going to result in higher blood pressure, no matter the subject. I once posted a well thought out wall of text (reasonably formatted) on an in development game I follow closely and received scathing replies via PM. Like, come the fuck on. If someone disagrees with you on Voat, you tend to get shit talked. If someone disagrees with you here, it seems they actually explain why they disagree. Those positive moments because fewer and fewer as time went by on Voat.

Man, that anxiety kept me from even bothering. Nothing good came out of a comment, and that goes for both reddit and voat.

I had noticed that as well. Thus seems to be the pattern with forums.

an in development game I follow closely

Which game?

Star Citizen. I grew up with the Wing Commander series. I trust Chris Roberts. That guy is nuts for space ships. Even if I didn't already trust Roberts, I think he has delivered a really impressive amount of new tech to set suspicions aside. In any case, SC was not a popular topic over at Voat.

@jobes weren't you telling me some shit ages ago about Star Citizen paying a ton for Cryengine?

I just googled it and it seems like there's an ongoing legal dispute over it, do you know anything about it?
