For those of you with short memories Stars has only become the site of choice with many because the UIGEA forced the #1 site Partypoker to pull out of the USA market.
Before that there were just a few random maniacs who said that playing without direct RB was better than playing at a bigger site with the aforementioned RB.
Now of course Stars has inherited the #1 spot thanks to Republican politicians and more tend to sing it's praises.

The stars 'converts' tend to be a little dogmatic and narrow in their view for my liking. However if I didn't have RB at FTP I'd probably be playing there too.

Your point is very misleading. Stars has ALWAYS been the #1 site in terms of customer service, reputation, and trustworthyness. Even when it wasnt the site of choice, everyone knew it was #1 in those areas.

I left party for stars pre UIGEA because I was sick of party's [censored] and wanted to play somewhere where I would be treated like a valued customer. For some people a % or 2 less in rakeback is worth it to know that your funds arent going to be seized for no reason, your account isnt going to get locked because of incompetence and if you do have a problem there are actual english speaking people who are very helpful ready to assist you.

So yeah more people play there now strictly because of UIGEA, but thats not really the point.
