I've noticed that is it normal has a weekly lull lasting about six hours at this time every week. I've noticed this for a couple of months now. Is it normal that, collectively, everyone is busy doing something else at the same time?

I know we're not all within the same time-zone, but hopefully I've listed a city near you. This story was posted at:

    It does seem logical

    Judging by the times and the days

    Our North Americans and South Americans members are probably just finished work or school and on their way home.

    Our European, Middle Eastern and African members are probably going out for the night considering it is a Friday or Saturday.

    Our Asian members are sleeping.

    And our Australian and New Zealand members are sleeping in because it is a weekend morning for us.

      Even though I knew it was Saturday morning there, I never made the leap that you lot would all be having lie-ins. That definitely makes sense.

      Oh, absolutely! I spent days researching this and looking out for those places that have half-hour time zones like Adelaide, St. John's, Yangon, and New Delhi, and also those places with quarter-hour time zones like Kathmandu.

      If only I'd copied and pasted it from here:

        I think I'm going to Katmandu,
        That's really, really where I'm going to.
        If i ever get out of here,
        That's what I'm gonna do.

    I was eating lunch at the time you posted this. Now I'm relaxing with kitten thinking about what to eat for dinner.

    No, I'm being attacked by kitten.

      I think it's in Hawaii. Oh, no, wait that's Oahu. It's probably in Mexico or something. Definitely the Americas, anyway.

    The funny thing is that this post has been the first one under the category Newest Posts for three days so far. That means that no new posts have been approved since this post was posted...the site is really quiet, not just when it comes to people´s comments but also when it comes to their posting new posts or polls (or their moderation).

    I was surprised seeing all of the options you included.

    I have always noticed a lull in the amount of posts that are approved on weekends.

    At weekdays I'm working and on weekends I'm sleeping at that time.

    I was waking up from a nap during business hours. Now, barely 12 hours later, I'm up at a rather inappropriate hour! :|

    You must... have a lot of time on your hands.

    I am usually on IIN during work and my work schedule is from 2200-0600 starting Tuesday at 2200 and ending on Sunday 0600.

    If I am on IIN on my phone, it is usually during school which is Monday 1400-2020 and Wednesday 1400-2020. Any other time would be attributed to my boredom or if I have a particular interest in a story or poll that I posted/posted on. Shit, I have homework to do, thanks for reminding me.
