Personally, it was mostly OAUP's exploration of transhumanism that attracted me to this project and convinced me to join. Plenty of other Sci-Fi projects (like Endless Sky) explore advanced technology, but OAUP was something new.
I think what initially drew me to the site, all the way back, was honestly just the fact that it was a collaborative project and as such had a lot of varied writing from a lot of people? But right now, I think it's the scale- while it's basically impossible to capture the breadth of a billion star systems and ten thousand years (unless you're past a few toposophic barriers, I suppose), Orion's Arm comes closer to really understanding it than basically everything else I've read.
