With as much time as I spend hanging around here -- I'd better like it. 

For me, it's:

The people
The community
The store
The forums
The galleries
The technical help
The freestuff
on and on........

Y'all are right -- the people that run this place are top-notch, nice folks.  And I speak from personal experience.

Constant, unending negativity is just odd to me.  It's an alien thing.  But negativity so often seems to be the bounding norm which defines many people's existence and world view.  And it colors all that they see.

At least a part of the problem is the "coolness" factor.  Ever since elementary school days, the "cool" crowd were always the professional snipers.  So if you want to be thought of as cool -- then you've got to be snide.  By definition -- if you aren't snide at least 95% of the time: then you are a toady.  Square.  Uncool.  And who wants to be on the outs with the self-appointed cool crowd?

(Hint: some of us revel in it.)

This is a great website.  Perfect?  Nahhhhh.  But great?  Most definitely: yes.
