First of all guys, this is really just a thread where I want to find people who are on the forums at this time of night (So I can talk to you) but it's supposed to be "Disguised" as a thread talking about that dead section of AG where no one posts.

You might think I'm pretty stupid for saying that in my opening paragraph but by the time a moderator or admin sees this it won't be dead on AG anymore and thus the thread exists no purpose except to talk about the no activity time.

Ok, so stop by and say hi if you're usually on at this time (Look at the time of my post if you're viewing this later). This is really my main source of entertainment at this time. I used to talk to knight on counting time but I have reasons for not going there.

You'll probably only find me here. Rocking in my chair and talking to myself but hey, it's worth a shot. Just post here talking about how you hate when AG is inactive or something and I'll hit you up with a comment on your profile.

If you're viewing this way after I've posted this then I would like to talk about the dead activity time of AG. I'm sure there is more times when AG shuts down for an hour or so, and if this happens, please make a post somewhere. It is the worst feeling when you feel like posting in the community and you're talking to a screen and then your post gets flooded by some other thread because when you go offline the activity sparks up again.

So if you've ever been on AG at a time like this then talk about it. It shouldn't be hard, right?

Note: After reading this I realise I ramble on. But it's 1:00AM here and I'm tired. xD

SOMEONE THAT'S ONLINE THE SAME TIME AS ME! IT'S A MIRACLE.

Nah but seriously I agree with you. Guessing by the times you states you probably live in new zealand, correct? I'm not that sure but I know that living in Australia at this time is really bad. You feel like you're in that really old house with 20 rooms and nothing in any of them. Quite a bad feeling.

Oh, and I'll post a comment on your profile.

You live in backwards timezone. If you were to stay up to, say, 6:00 AM the forums begin to wake up. 6:00 AM in my timezone is fairly dead, though.

I guess your Armatar matches your nightowlishess, huh?

Swedish GMT+1, I'm on at odd times. I usually get updated on posts overnight. It irks me when my inbox is empty after I wake up, though. Real strange.

That's more of an issue of popularity, isn't it?

I get my updates overnight too, but that's probably because I choose to get on at weird times. Sometimes I'm on all day and I experience both The Dead Time and the US's Afternoon Rush. Roughly 25% of AG's traffic comes from the US, so it'd be best to try and stick with their time zones.

Oh, and Frank showed me a cool way to get stats like that. Alexa.com is a very nice tool to obtain web traffic stats.

i live in israel so my time zone is also really different. but to say the truth it doesnt matter anymore. i used to think its annoying when there were interesting threads that actually updated constantly but i havnt seen such a thread for a long time. good times...

Am I the only one who expected a thread about menopause?

Yes, the site experiences live and dead periods. It's always been that way, unfortunately. What AG needs back is the little indicator at the bottom of the community page that tells you who is and who isn't online. That was incredibly helpful.

No Ernie. I thought the same thing.

Eh, a dead period to me is when none of my friends are on. So that is most of the time.

It's the "dead period" now.... So quiet. No me gusta.
This threads "disguise" is wearing off.

Ahhh... nighttime in the US... talk about dead! There's like, nobody online at this time! You'd think there'd be more night owls in this community, but I guess that isn't the case!

It's not even 5 in the afternoon here and already it seems pretty dead! I guess people must be out enjoying this nice Sunday evening?
