People in general (usually found outside of the SC2 LR,strategy etc sections) are in generally more intelligent then the other parts of the interwebs(courtesy of the 'evil banmods), there are still idiots but far less then the average forum community.
Moreover, E-sport(and BW even more so) is a tiny fraction of society, to find people who have that same interest as you, interests me. It also amazes me how there are people from all kinds of countries with all kinds of cultures, education , views and well, things they do(take for example the guy who makes his own bread in a blog, its fucking awesome although I wouldn't ever do it myself).
Ow and the KMD thread and Nada's body(I should post some Jaedong again).
In BW and the KMD everyone knows each other(or well, most do) you know their likes, dislikes, how to get on their nerves etcetera, you feel part of a community.

I think it's more just habit.

Now with SCBW dwindling down, me growing old, and the community getting saturated with new SC2 gamers, I actually no longer feel the same way towards TL. It really saddens me to not recognize some posters with over 5000 posts. The TLHF is still my favourite sub-community though 
I was like that for the last 3 years. There are surely many posts where I am bitching about this fact openly.
The degree may be lessened, but I think the general ethos still remains, especially in particular subsets of the forum. (note that I only visit TLHF, Blogs, and maybe one or two other locations - I've learned to isolate myself from the increased noise on TL and reside in areas where the personal relationships are stronger - i.e. smaller subcommunities or blogs)

Hmm I'm 20 and TL is the first an only forum in which i am a frequently active member. TL definitely does have some sort of attractive factor. For me it's currently my BW fascination as it was for you, i do wonder if i will continue to visit TL when my passion for BW dies (though i can't conceive of that happening right now XD). Time will tell if the TL factor affects me as much as it has you.

I too miss the days of staying up night after night watching SC:BW. SC2 just doesn't have that same factor for me.
I can't care less if I don't watch a GSL Final, but I was F5'ing for the OSL Semis!!

If it were just intelligence and interests, I would abandon TL for Quora in a heartbeat. For me, this didn't turn out to be the answer.

It's because you recognize and have a past with TL.
My relationships here are certainly a function of my TL past, so this is certainly true.

at the end of the day TL is like one big family and sometimes people get drunk throw up on the floor staining the family carpet but at the end of the day we will eventually forgive and make jolly telling of said event .

Hi Susie~
Let us know about your swell time in London!

TL has evolved from the passion we all share for SC. We all have a personal responsibility to this place, its a mini-life market where everything is free. It doesn't matter when you join, but when you check in you know you're around family so you can't help but come home.
The mods keep everything fresh and to a higher standard, dreams and sweat dust the floor, its a celebration of what we cherish. Sometimes it can get ugly, but this is a place where good will truly exists. I appreciate all of you <3
