For me, it's because this board keeps relatively current. The minute something new airs or hits theaters, it's here. Not just discussion- dedicated rippers have the good stuff within minutes. It's the same reason this is the best place to discuss comics: the quality of that discussion might not be the best, but at the very least, the people here don't give the slightest fuck about "cyber crime" or whatever the fuck, so the latest stuff is always freely available.
Our soccer team isn't bad, either. I mean, it IS bad, but it's bad in an entertaining way. Pretty fun to watch /co/ snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, consistently, year after year, in every iteration of the Cup.
