Eh, I don't know about that. Most of the time it feels like there's 30 idle members staring at the front page with nothing being posted.
I can't tell how active it used to be since I'm pretty new compared to you forum veterans, but yeah......... it seems to be at its most active when the US timezone people get back from work/school and before all the europeans go to bed.

also I feel the art thread is a very good indicator of activity, because some days it seems like EVERYONE made an art (very common scenario: "hmmMM seems like the art thread is quiet, time to NINJA IN some rad art I've worked on" *cool artist posts a cool art two minutes before me* "oh okay"), and other days it's like....... one art......... yesterday I managed to hog the museum for a full day, it was eerie
you'll know where to find me.

I'd say there is a fair bit of activity, especially for the number of members.  If I don't log in for a couple of days I end up just skipping to the latest page of this thread as there is normally about 15 new pages.

Well, Haiz, the solution is clear.  We'll all quit, if you people promise to stop sleeping.  Then we can all forum all the time!!  Most best!

Ehh, I'll have my 6 hours of sleep no matter how sickly that makes me by other people's standards.

Daytime napping, on the other hand, is right out.

Hey, 6 or 7 hours is a good night! I mean, that's what, getting to bed at midnight or 23:00 for me? Downright sybaritic! [that's a great word I love that word]
I'll do art-swaps and beta-reads, PM me!

Next time someone tries to wake me up when I don't want to I'll just tell them I'm weak and sickly and to leave me be. That'll teach them.

Btw 6h? Here it's 8h or a very snappy Laufey, those are the options.

6 or sometimes 5 hours is difficult all right when I read/write/speak with friends too late have no other choice as going to work (The NaNo had been something very special, like "Hum, 4h of sleep and a meeting at work this morning. I can do it.") BUT please in that case let me sleep 9 hours's nights the week-end. Why why why my housemate is up to 7AM every week-end ? T_T

I had no idea what that meant and after looking it up I am even more puzzled.

7 hours is nice, 8 sounds... Sybaritic.

What's that word even mea- oh. Well. I guess so then, I'll better just make my whole lifestyle sybaritic so it matches my sleep demands.
