I would have to disagree with any idea that TFF brings in any diverse people, as most seem to come out of the same framework. However, as to why people stay, it is because of the bonds people make. I spent my teenage years here, awkward, confused, and cold, and I talked to other awkward, confused, and cold kids. TFF has culminated in actually meeting some people here, as well as many life lessons. I think of it as my version of Arnold's from Happy Days.
