I've noticed that when I spend an abundance of time on the Escapist there comes a point where almost all of the interesting threads die down and I'm left wandering, waiting for something I can actually have an intelligent discussion about. I'm just wondering if anyone else ever felt like that or if I'm just slowly losing my mind?

Around the hours of 2-4pm this place is buzzing with activity. But then again it may just be my time zone. The community is huge and spread out over several continents, some people are just going to be more active during different times.

Judging from what time he's talking about, I think he's in the US maybe?
I'm not sure though...

EDIT:
OT - I think so too, but then again as it gets late morning in western Europe, generally it's just the right time for the people from the US to start going on.

The time was added as an insignificant detail and now it's removed since it distracted from what I was asking.

The Good Ole' U.S.A., why does it matter
Time zones, man. Messes up the user numbers.

Anyway, yes, It's frustrating when there is no decent threads to look at.

Yeah I've found that interesting threads die down the later it gets, as well. Still, I've got other things to do when that happens, so it doesn't bother me overmuch.

Yeah well I really don't, at night this is my home.

Actually no, I thought I made it up or stole it from an obscure book/movie.

I reckon it goes through two peaks and two troughs a day, down here in Oz i find the peaks around midday and midnight, but that could just be my experience. Feel free to disagree.

It just occurs to me that this should be titled witching hour instead of midnight hour.

I get this every night. Usually between 12am and 2am. UK time. Then thing's seem to pick up again.

Also, Sunday is a very quiet day on The Escapist... Too quiet... ¬_¬
