Why I play on Protector?
Well, because it's Protector. And Protector ROCKS!
And Protector does some crazy ****! (Which reminds me, I need to put a few more levels on Yuletide Spirit.)
I even shanghai my Justice friends over here.

OMG!!! i wonder if I was on your team. I was running around with my fire/Fire blaster and got invited to a posi, I also said what the "hell" because I need it for TF commander badge.
I see the leader is making an 8 man team and also go "OH NO" but stick it out and then what the OP posted just happened. There were others willing to stick it out but everyone gets booted.
Now if I was not on your team then maybe it was the same leader and he just does it for kicks...
Why do I play on Protector?
'Cause all my stuff is there! D'uh! 
Wait. You mean there are other servers? 
Time for me to fuel this thread...
I started to play mostly on Protector for a very prosaic reason...
When I bought the game in mid-2005 (CoH DVD Edition for 10 bucks, remainder bin at FutureShop, IIRC...), I had 2 friends who were playing at the time (everyone else were - and still are - playing WoW): one on Virtue, one on Protector.
One of them quit the game soon after (Real Life took over...), the other helped me get acquainted with the game (even the time he left my lvl 12 blaster stranded in Independence Port after he D/C'd counts as me being "acquainted with the game"... ), and when he left, donated a few mills to my toons to get me going.
Guess which one was on Protector ?
As for the reason I still play 99.9% of the time on Protector, it's even more unglamorous...
With the few hours I play (2-3 hours per week in average), and the low number (0) of people I know outside the game that are interested in CoH, I simply don't feel the need to play on more than 1 server. So, Protector is my server by default, simple as that...
(Putting on the flame-retardant suit, just in case...)

I picked Protector when I started playing because my at-the-time boyfriend, who bought me the game to introduce me to MMOs (hoping I'd go play something else with him if I got into CoH) let me pick the server we'd play on together and the name appealed to me.
I stay on Protector because...well...other servers scare me. O.o
And because my home is Protector. I met my mentor here. My friends are here, even the ones who originally played only on Guardian and Virtue. I made my first 50 here. I have so many good memories of Protector (Shadow Shard TF? Aforementioned all-blaster Posi? TF Marathon on 2xp weekend? TfT? RtR?) that I couldn't imagine ever swapping to another server to start all over again. Even making a new toon to go on a base tour on another server just feels...slightly wrong, to me. If I log in and Protector's not at the top of my server list, it freaks me out a little bit.
As someone already asked, there are other servers?
City of Heroes taught me that when the world is burning, you don't just stand by and watch, you grab a fire extinguisher and do whatever you can to stop it-even if it's not much at all. Sign the petition to keep City of Heroes alive HERE.

Am I serious?
Yes. But not for a while yet. I've got other priorities. I'll let everyone know when I'll be putting it together.

How I ended up on Protector is a different story.
A little over two years ago I DL'd the trial (26mo and counting,) didn't know anything about the game other than what I had read, and just picked a server (happened to be Justice.) Then I heard someone say something about east coast vs west coast servers. I had no idea that there was such a thing!
So I eventually found the wiki, and the list of servers, misread Justice as being a east coast server (which it's not) so I re-rolled my main on Protector.
Oddly enough, I met a Justicite at HeroCon last year, decided to play with him in-game. I had totally forgotten that I had rolled my first character over there.
But I consider Protector my home.

I thought the comparison was a good way to illustrate this oddity. I couldn't foresee the slight tangent it could have produced.
No one was called stupid, and it wasn't inferred in any way.

I used to play on Protector alot but really didn't know anyone here so I moved on. I still have toons on Protector but now I've narrowed what servers I play on to Triumph, Virtue and Freedom.

I play on Protector because the second time I logged on to play, I forgot which server I had originally made my first character and chose Protector because I liked the name. Then I learned that it had a low population so I inferred that it would have a lower load and fewer jerks by number.
And I'm anti-social, anyway.
