I am here at 4:30 am(in Ohio), and there is NO ONE here. No one posts, no one replies. WTF? There is no excuse for this. ---

There are active pit threads going. I’m in California, and I work the graveyard shift. ---

Look at the time on my post. It’s 11.25pm on Sunday here in Aussie Stralia, so that gives you an idea of how this all works. When I sleep, America wakes up. When I get a chance to post again, America sleeps. It makes for both good and bad things. GOOD: Freedom to post to a whole bunch of posts in a row, and enjoy the speed of a quiet server. BAD: Missing out on when a post is lively, so only getting to be a threadkiller with my late lonely contributions. ---

_waves_ Taiwanese, checking in… right now it’s 9:40 pm… I agree with GuanoLad; that’s exactly how I feel sometimes. Ah well, **crazy\_nut** , **Wind Sorceress** , **Dragon Shadow** , and **Frosfir** are all friends of mine, all Taiwanese, and I guess we could keep a thread going all on our own 😃 ---

Well, you have to realize that 4:30 AM for you, is 5:30 AM for me, and that’s a good hour past my bedtime. I can sometimes be found lurking that late (probably because I had been out that night and had a few drinks) but I usually don’t post when drunk. ---

Well, like **spooje** , I’m in California, and often work evening shift, so you’re right there in my SDMB time. I often weep that there’s not enough people on during this time, though. Sometimes just not lively enough. ---
