Like (I suspect) was the case for a lot of others, SPR started out as just one of a bunch of sites that I used to visit when starting straight shaving. This is the site I have stuck with because of the content, the tone, and the people who have been incredibly helpful to me along the way. But that's not to say that the other places are all bad, and I think it's worth noting that there were at least a few members on that thread over there who were trying to rein things in.
