LinkPizza 12/20/17 5:29:05 PM #3:	Maybe the topics. They are a lot. And they stay forever. Even if you can't respond because it's been closed. Here, they usually only stay for so long. On this board, at least. And it's divided here. By game, normally. Also, I think it gets more exposure. --- 3DS Friend Code: 4742 6214 5315 Add Me because I'll probably add you.

SteamedHams 12/20/17 5:40:16 PM #9:	The popularity is probably because you can find a subreddit for just about anything. Granted, that's more of a reason why it maintains popularity than how it became popular. That part I also have a hard time understanding, since I hate the layout. I guess you just have to stop trying to think of it as a message board. It's kind of its own thing. <cite>SteamedHams posted [p:892586180] in Why is Red...

dedbus 12/20/17 5:57:25 PM #11:	I guess its because it is an open forum without the stigma of being a video game board or 4chan. It advertises itself as a so called front page of the internet making it pretty neutral and approachable. Your retired miner dad might not be as inclined to look up politics on gamefaqs or 4chan. Bill Gates probably wont touch an ask me anything on potd or even ce. <cite>dedbus posted [p:892587108] in Why is Red...
