I think it's that OotS is based off of D&D, drawing in Tabletop players. Those tabletop players probably have friends who are into D&D as well, or are Video Gaming friends. This leads to a healthy dose of threads that discuss games or about politics.

Now, if this forum had flash games, it would be like Facebook, except without the idiots posting something embarrassing and then get fired.
