Has anyone else noticed that the forum has been seeming a lot slower in terms of posts / general activity lately? Is it just me??

Yeah. I've been on here reading but not really posting as much as I usually would. Not sure why.

I notice late at night it's dead. It's 4:30am where I'm at. Uo because my bf works third shift. So I go on here and talk to myself lol.

But I know realistically we're not all in the same time zone so who knows where everybody else goes?

I had another forum I belonged to that I finally stopped following when the 5th post down was a wk old. I hope that never happens here! We gatta keep it alive people!

Me too. I finally let go my other forum. But I feel for new members over there who need to talk to someone. ;-£

The forum has manic-depressive tendencies of its own.

Interesting, because if our moods were completely random in severity and timing the forum would be the most stable one here.

I do feel a bit alone in the mornings as well: wrong side of the pond. But I don't mind having the house all to myself (ok, granted, I have RxQueen for company, which is great), doing the necessary catching up without moving to and fro.

I dunno, Keegan, it's seemed a usual amount of busy to me. Like CycloMary said, it goes in waves and people come and go.

I've been observing for years, and would add that it almost groups in waves too(!) A bunch of people will be interacting and that will get somewhat diluted with new faces at the same time as those who were previously more active fall back a bit. So it may be just as busy, but not feel that way because one's familiar people are fewer.

So, like group A talking> transistion A/B (where some A's will feel it's slower because fewer familiars) >B > transistion B/C (where some B's will feel it's slower) > C etc. it's not quite that tidy -- people don't come and go in half groups, lol, and some remain over numerous changes, but damn if it's not something I've noticed over time. If given a list of everyone's name over the years, I think I could even cluster them(!) At least in the case of the more frequent posters -- those who have a pretty distinct period of activity (on, busy, busy, off -- which is definitely a common pattern).

Pretty convoluted way to say it's fairly consistent overall, with super-late (US time), holidays and summers (northern hemisphere) seeing less traffic. That's what I've noticed anyway.

(Wow, am I ever procrastinating(!) Paperwork. Ugh.)

Lol.

I (also) prefer the nighttime, but I'd better not. Sleep hygiene!

Take 400 mg highly antihistaminic antipsychotic not later than 11pm. Never fails.
You wouldn't wake me up!

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
