Valid question considering how old BF2 is and how relatively few of us actually still play it.

It's a valid question, stop spamming. I come here because I started a long time ago and it's like crack now. Pass the time at work, that sort of thing.

Did he bribe you? Because I don't see what kind of answer is he expecting to get. Its a popular forum and popular forums attract new people. BF2 brought us together, BF2s as in forum made us stay.

How about asking some more questions in the OP, to help spark some more debate and discussion:

Do you still play BF2?
Why do you still come here, if you don't play BF2 any more?
Did you join the forums when BF2 was first released, or have you only just discovered it and thus these forums?
Why are there newly registered members on the forum each day if the game is so old?
Why are so many people still here, when they stopped playing BF2 two years ago?

etc

---

I come here because I enjoy coming here. I come here to chat with everyone, to learn about the world, to help people and to get help from people.

Finding interesting things on the internet is a whole lot easier if you've got someone else doing it for you. Often this site acts like a feed aggregator, for me. Pulling interesting news stories, videos and articles.

Finding new music is a lot easy if there's other people on the same forum with similar tastes who can recommend bands, genres, producers and etcetera. Same goes for films and other media. The forums are also a pretty handy place for tech support - I mean, if it wasn't for this forum I'd probably still be wondering which new components to buy for my PC, and then when I would eventually come round to a decision it would probably be poor.

There is a diverse variety of people here, with a diverse selection of interests. This leads to varied and interesting discussion.

It's a stupid question with an obvious answer.

No it's not. There are plenty of websites (plenty of BF2 orientated websites, for that matter) that have pretty much died once their main, erm, attraction has to all intents and purposes died.

I initially came here for a game related question. I liked the people and the atmosphere, so I used to hang around occasionally. Then about a year later I went to Greece where I lost my friends, my love and my muse. When I returned to Holland, I had alcohol to kill my mind and BF2s to kill time. I've been a regular since.

Community. bf2s has built a strong following in the last four years, and has attracted many high profile and highly active personalities. It works well as a generic forum for a diverse amount of subjects, and seems to find a nice balance between the DSTers and the jackoffs (read: GravyDan). If the 50 or so regulars here were replaced with 5,000 new members I would leave in a heartbeat.

I come here to shoot the shit when I am ridiculously bored, i.e. for this entire last week when I'm at home, bored out of my fucking mind, with no party-funds left.

probably cause people came for bf2 but because people have discussed everything 4 times over they lost interest in the game so instead of going to a forum about the stuff they like they sheepishly stay in their little established territory hoping to crop up some discussion about something else that interests them

Because I need a regular forum to visit, and frankly, /b/ doesnt cut it for me.

Plus every other forum is filled with whiney 12 year olds that play XBOX 360 etc etc.

Work at 3:30 AM? Sounds Awsome.

I would love to work at 3:30 AM. Hardly any traffic and not too many people to deal with I assume?

Its great in DC for the traffic. But, the flights start early enough so the fun begins around 530 or so.
