Its 7:34 Central time right now and the boards are being hellishly slow. I know the speed has do do with how many people are using the board at that time. Me, I usually am on anywhere from about 4 in the afternoon to 9 on a regular day. Not the WHOLE time, mind you. But when I’m on, its usually in that time frame. On weekends, I’m on from midnight to whenever I decide that my eyelids will no longer stay open. So what time do you usually get on the SDMB? ---

I don’t have a regular schedule. But things seem to move faster in the evening & late at night (U.S. time). ---

anywhere from 6 AM ADT to 1:30 PM ADT, I open the SDMB. It closes when I leave work, from 4:30 PM ADT to 9:30 PM ADT. mornings are always best for surfing. ---

Who is on a schedule? I’m not, but do not count on me from about 3:00 A.M. (when I go to bed) until 8:00 A.M. (earliest I would get on). Rest of time just depends. ---

I’m a night owl. I’m usually on between 9pm and 1am. And I can testify that the board is s-l-o-w even in the wee hours. ---
