    How interesting and suprising!

    If asked, I would have said that most posts were done between 23hrs and 2am and most daytime posts were done on Fridays, just goes to show!

    and I wonder why we tend to post more toward the end of the month

    Re: More Forum Research

    I wondered why I could never get anything done around 4pm the past couple of weeks, I've been reading the new posts all this time
    Anyone else have a sudden urge to post lots at 5am, to skew the curve? No? Just me then...

    Sadly, many people would rather be whingy than witty.

    Oh, don't bother ...



    and you live in "Hinckley. Margate without the good bits". That's sounds appalling - I'd move if I was in your position

    Re: More Forum Research

    I was a little surprised by the daytime distribution. I think I would have thought there were more posts over lunchtime as there seems to be more people online then.

    Having said that, afternoons are my lowest point in terms of 'intelligent thought activity' (eg I try to avoid studying between 3pm - 5pm) so maybe its the same for other people and they pop onto the forum to relieve the tedium (it would maybe explain some of the posts too... )

    Maybe less posts on Friday because of all the Fridays before weekenders when many forumites are travelling to events and so not online?
