Things seem speedier late at night for reading and posting. During the day I often find SDMB to be very sluggish…

Same here. It’s like walking through a library late at night with the lights out.

Where’s yer library late at night with the lights out now, eh?

I like posting at 3 AM. Seems like I get a lot more posts in.

I was just thinking this. I feel a lot less guilty about posting one-offs and stupid jokes in the Pit and ATMB when the server load is minimal. It’s also less weighty on my conscience since I only have to sit there looking at the “you will soon be taken to your post” going ‘oh man, why didn’t I just delete that one’ for like 10 seconds as opposed to 5 minutes when the boards are slow.

For me, it’s a mixed blessing.

On one hand, it’s great to have the board be so…_zippy._

On the other hand, the only reason why I’m ever here at this hour is because of this bloody insomnia. ☹

I work 3rd shift, so this is what I’m more used to when I’m surfing from work.
