-What exactly is the reason that TFF attracts so many different kinds of people (unlike other forums about music, movies, literature)?

Unlike many forums this one is for all sort of people, even for those who didn't play FF that much. Mainly because this forum has something for everybody, You don't need to know much about FF to be here. If you are music fan than there is section for that, if you like literature or movies there is section for that and so on...



-Why do so many people stay active around the forums (albeit on and off), even though the common interest is a simple entertainment series?

Well there is always something new to discuss about, and the community here is the best.
