Anyone know? Are there some stats where it could be looked up?
I’m curious to know between what hours of the day are the most people posting on here. I live in the United States, Arizona…and am on PST right now…so for me, what time would the SDMB be the most active? Morning? Say 9 to 11? Afternoon? 12ish to 2?
Certainly doesn’t seem to be anytime after 8 in the evening.
Anyone want to venture a guess or know?
WAG, but my observations show a spike around noon Chicago time, then another longer spike around 5-7pm Chicago time. I’d be interested to see a breakdown in usage myself, but I won’t hold my breath.
Earthling gathered a lot of stats about 2 years ago. Here’s the first thread: http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=259417
There was a second thread titled “Life, Death, and Exile (SDMB stats, extremely long)”
Even though Earthling is no longer a member, 2 weeks ago I went back and found all of the material was still at the links (thanks, Earthling).
There’s an hourly usage chart in there somewhere because I remember noting the least usage was between about 3 AM - 5 AM Chicago time. I don’t remember when the peak hours were.
