Everything! Everything about this site is awesome; the database, the claims, the clubs, the forums, creating my list, all of them!

Seriously, I'm addicted to MAL.

Isn't MAL a place for meeting ppol?? I was expecting that to be one of the main choices, I'm very surprised that something like CLAIMING was more prioritized. x__X

Uh, since when is MAL for meeting people? It does have social elements (clubs, friend lists, and of course the forums) but is far from a social networking site like myspace (and facebook, I think is a newer one? Never been there myself. After seeing Myspace I never want to see another social networking site again.)

I've made a couple friends from MAL, but I make friends in every community I'm a part of. It's a natural occurrence, regardless of the focus of the community. Doesn't need to be explicitly stated.

The reason I registered here in first place: the ability to look up up the last episode i watched, because i usually forget it. I wish I had such thing for "normal" stuff, too...

^ He's lying he stayed to arrange roof meetings with me!

All of the above! I adore this site it's got everything! When i first found it it was purely for just looking up new anime and such things. But i quickly started to meet some just fantastic people and so i love it here! We need a huge mansion somewhere and our own MAL house!

Creating and customizing my own list.

I tend to forget things a lot, and I'll be watching an anime, look back for about 3 seconds, and then wonder which episode I was on. Helps.

Clicking the little + button to update my list, and watch my list grow :]

At first, I would have chosen All of the above, but that would mean that I enjoyed claim clubs, which have recently gotten out of hand =/

I do enjoy most of the people here though, some new, some old, but overall, MAL is an awesome place that I like to hang out at.

ALL THE ABOVE <3

the only reason i joined MAL in the first place is because of the feature to keep track of the anime you watch cuz i always forgot which episode i was on and such, but then as i began to explore MAL i discover what an awesome site this was =]

I like how I can keep track of all these animes I want to watch and have already watched. For example, I might see some new anime that takes my fancy, but then a few days later I might forget what it's called, which is why having a list is so neat. Speaking of new animes, this site has also been helpful for me in finding stuff I might like. Also, I like to rate things.

I'd say the best thing is definitely the ability to customize my own list. <3 I don't participate in tournaments, and I'm only just spreading out on the forums. But I can spend hours designing and watching more anime to add to the list.

One of the things nicest it's personal anime list, description of many of it and interesting forum.

It's was nice if also admins add a section with multi languages. ^^

I put Clicking the little + button to update my list, and watch my list grow :], but to be fair, the other two in the top three also are the reasons. Order for me is 2. 1. 3.
