biggrin Why is this forum so popular?

I've been getting TONNES of replies really fast! I expected it would be a fairly empty forum (OotS is only a comic after all, no matter how awesome). Is it that all the RPG fans set up here? This site OWNS!!!

It's a gaming website that's been around for several years - that kind of longevity is rare and leads to an abundance of users - and hosts a very popular webcomic.

And even then, this forum isn't that fast.

There are no other GitP users. Were are in fact a collection of elaborate clockwork simulacra, designed to fool you into believing that there are people who love you and care about what you have to say.
