Because the game is unbalanced. I ended up staying to voice the imbalance about the equal and level playing fields when it comes to objective control.
When I found out there was a small group of forum users that intentionally fight against those balance changes. Some of those people were giving out wrong info about Frontiers Direction with the game trying to control conversations.
So I have stayed to support frontier in moving forward with changes to Powerplay and hopefully the BGS so my player faction can defend themselves against the real griefers in this community.
Since then I have had a fun time showing my experiences within the game. Met lots of cool people.
Hell, in my time here I have even seen a developer ruin some poor dudes birthday by proposing changes to the game. Funniest way to be dramatic about something I have ever seen. I will never forget it.
This place has been my entertainment until we can play the game on a level playing field. Just waiting it out really.

Well I'm o the road a lot, and don't have access to the game. So I drink beer and play the forums.
Why? Because it's there :|
I got tired of making new e-mails to troll twitter.
1. I have a working belief in the power of the dialectic, if not to promote truth, at least to force the lies to be better.
2. I have seen a concerning tide of posts (both here and elsewhere online) arguing a paradigm for this game that seems to come from a PR shop (even if it is informally organized) with a unified set of talking points rather than from freely thinking individuals. Their poorly considered theses require antitheses to promote the healthy dialectic.
3. ing off (on?) propagandists online has been an enjoyable intellectual exercise for many years. It is even less stressful and more enjoyable when it is about something inconsequential like a video game than when it is about politics or social issues.

Get out of here with your sensible answers!
Good point.
I come for the salt. I put it on my carrots, I love forum salt on my carrots!
Initially, it was to report bugs. Now I see as a place to be entertained with Drama.
And there’s SO much of it darling!!
The main reason why I post on this forum to to make sure my opinions are visible to the devs, should they care to look.
I lurked here for a long time during the kickstarter, keeping tabs on progress & bought the game shortly after release. I registered to get rid of an irritating sticky message, only for it to be replaced with an even longer one about being a restricted new user, so I started posting to get rid of that.
I like this game, I liked the game I bought (1.0) and after a while started to realise the Devs weren't entirely following a plan but seemed to be making changes based on community feedback that made some bits of the game that I liked worse for me. So I joined in the debates & try to state a good case for why whatever I like about a thing should remain, or should change in a way that I think might be good for the game & playerbase overall.
I tended not to post when someone had already written something similar to what I would have written, but since the sticky was added to the suggestions section about rep not being visible to the Devs I now post a lot more simply to state that I agree with a particular view.
Because of this it means that when I do post I'm pretty well always taking a minority view, but the game design isn't (usually) shaped by a show of hands. If the community has any effect it's usually through well expressed ideas and challenging preconceptions.

I think, at the bottom of it all, I Forum because there is not general galaxy wide chat. Even though I enjoy the quiet as I make my mark on the galaxy.
Over the years I have learned a crazy amount of stuffs about E|D through the forums. I get the news of what shakin' out there and get to interact some with my fellow players.
Along the way, I have also campaigned on certain issues in the hopes that E|D retains the game personality I found at release, but with an eye to making the experience more engaging.

It's my methadone, harder to quit than the original receptor binding opioids; plus, I reckon if I keep randomly inserting the word 'Orrery' into enough threads the devs will break down and put one in the game I no longer play - I need help!
To keep the loonies on the path.
I'll do you one better .. when is Flimley?
Why oh why oh why do I forums ... It's a condition of my parole.
