For me personally, I've lurked here for 6 years or so. The main reason is there's a community intersection here of techies and entrepreneurs that I can't find anywhere else. And when I say techies, I mean hardcore techies who like building stuff and are good at it. Reddit ends up being quite juvenile and the signal to noise is typically low. Don't get me wrong on Reddit. I'm a member and love reading it. But there's times I want serious and times I want jokey. So, the killer reason people are here are because of the other people that are here. Which is the reason you can't just replicate this by building a clone with better software. Often times I find the comments about articles here more illuminating than the articles themselves and that speaks to the quality of visitors.
