Bored with a lot of time on my hands, so here's my in-depth primer, the factions of the SW boards chronologically as I understand them:

TOR/PT-OT divide

The SW equivalent of left and right, most debaters, even those unaffiliated with specific groups, fall within one of these two sides to varying levels of extremity. Those who favour the early eras vs those who favour the movie period. With most conflicts between debaters definable in these terms. They clash over various fundamentals, such as Sheev vs Valkorion and the prime of the Jedi.

|| Antidiluvians ||

Largely a bunch of old fossils who wank the equally ancient Sith, generally believing them to be above Palpatine, whom they frequently disparage. They possess a widely different worldview to that of modern times and tend to use a lot of big words in an attempt to appear more intelligent than they really are. However as the name suggests, they have been almost entirely superseded by a new era of PT and Sheev wank and are all but gone from these boards.

Prominent advocates: Nai, Ziggy, a bunch of debaters no longer active

|| Kunites ||

Affectionately titled "Kunts" by their detractors, this camp is defined by their worship of Kun, as well as (but not necessarily) all things TotJ. They overlap onto the Antediluvians, who commonly support Exar Kun as the most powerful Sith Lord over Sidious, but this is not a necessary belief to be a member, instead many are stalwart PT supporters.

Prominent advocates: AncientPower, ILS, Ellimist, Ziggy

|| Revanites ||

Hardly qualifying as a camp, as it only consists of one member, but said member being so persistently vocal about how great Revan and other KOTOR characters are, appears to be one regardless.

Prominent advocates: just Ant, yeah.

|| Avellonians ||

Distinct from your KOTOR I wanker, this camp reserves its respect solely for KOTOR II, of which they often believe to be the superior title. The Exile is their champion, Force wounds their bread and butter, and Drew Karpshyn the bane of their existence. They despise him more vehemently than perhaps any other camp.

Prominent advocates: Selenial, Zoltan, AncientPower

|| SWTORians ||

A varied camp ranging from moderates to extremists. The moderates are unpredictable and fickle, tending to wank only their most prominent members, while frequently defecting to the PT crowd as they please. The extremists on the other hand exist in sworn opposition to all PT wank and their advocates, and are among some of the most cancerous members among the boards. Conspiracy theorists believe the moderates seek to reform the camp from within, others believe they simply want to watch the world burn. The camp is united however in it's support of Vitiate/Valkorion over Sheev.

Prominent advocates: S_W_Legend, Nephthys, DarthAnt, Ziggy, Freshest, Skillz

|| Banites ||

Easily the most reviled camp of them all, every since DMBgate they have been subject to unrelenting assaults from the Bane dies campaign; one that has brought their champion, Darth Bane, low, and made himself and his contemporaries the butt of many jokes and memes. Through great hardship however they have become powerful, and as the trolls become prideful and complacent in victory, they gather strength and sympathisers in the shadows, preparing for the Second Coming of Bane.

Prominent advocates: EmperorDMB, Nepthys + various sympathisers

|| Bane Dies ||

More of a movement than a camp, the Bane dies campaign consists of powerful trolls who seek to shit on anything Bane related. Their mission has proven an unprecedented success, drastically lowering the opinion of Bane and his contemporaries widely in the minds of members from all walks of life.

Prominent advocates: Carthage, Jack, Ellimist + various sympathisers

|| Sheevites ||

Those who worship Sheev in all his aspects. Largely falling in favour on the PT era, they are nonetheless affiliated with various groups. United solely by their steadfast loyalty to Sheev as the Sith Lord who stands proud and erect above all others. They defeated the Antediluvians in an age old campaign, bringing the light and wisdom of Sheev to forums in their wake, and sweeping away the cancer that once plagued it. Even moreso than Sheev, Gideon is their champion, reincarnated in the witty jokester known as Tempest, who frequently humiliates all who stand against him, especially Neph.

Prominent advocates: Tempest, Elliminst, Sidious66, Beniboybling

|| Filonians ||

A relatively new camp of young, intelligent debaters, the Filonians are united in their favour and interest in TCW and Rebels characters. They enjoy good relations with fellow PT wankers, and sport some of the best interrelations among all the camps. They are also overwhelming gay, and this is good. Ahsoka is their champion, a divine entity whose beauty and grace fills their hearts with light. In the past, they among all others have been the most sympathetic towards the Banites, but recently relations have become increasingly strained.

Prominent advocates: King Joker, Beniboybling, Fated Xtasy, EmperorDMB

|| Stoverites ||

A very new faction, spawned by the controversial rhetoric of Sheevite and PT wanker, Ellimist, the RotS novelisation is their Bible and Anakin Skywalker their God. They believe in the blasphemous word of their prophet, Matthew Stover, who champions Anakin of the Furnace-heart as the most powerful Jedi ever. They seek to coil the dead-star dragon around the souls of their enemies, bringing forth a new age that worships Skywalker's divine locks. It is very likely that most of their members are in fact gay for Anakin, and few can blame them.

Prominent advocates: Elliminst, DarthAnt, AncientPower, Newguy

|| Legacy Wankers ||

A camp relatively unique in its separation from the TOR/PT-OT divide, they share a knowledge and favour for the Legacy era. They are responsible for the ascension of their Emperor, Darth Krayt, to top-tier status, and enjoy a remarkable level of favour among most camps, the ground realities of the era become imparted through intelligent discourse. They are ever growing in power, and, perhaps because of their remove from the TOR/PT-OT wars, have few detractors, though are marginally more popular among the PT wankers.

Prominent advocates: ILS, Newguy, Selenial, Zoltan

This is gold, except that I can hardly be called a Kunite. erm
