I came while trying to figure out what reader I wanted to get last year. I stayed because of (in no particular order):
the people
the community
the fun
the current events
the women

I enjoy the people here immensely, as has been mentioned there is such a diverse group of nationalities, personalities, languages, backgrounds - it is an education just hanging our here. I like that for any discussion you can get the opinion of someone from almost every side of the topic, in some cases it is a real eye opener.

It is the people that make up the community but it is also the structure of the forums itself, I can go hang out in whatever place I feel like and there is always something interesting to read or fun to take part in.

I like that the main focus of the site is so narrow with some branching out into related topics. I can go hang at the news forum or general discussion and find out what is happening in the industry in general. And be pretty much assured that is all relevant - or at least interesting.

Thanks Alex!! And everyone else for making MR what it is!!
