Flows of Buzztouch users at certain times

So I just wanted to bring this up because I am fairly certain I can spot and predict flows of Buzztouch forums posts in bursts. Sometimes you'll see a forum thread that is lingering around the forum home page for half a day, while others only last an hour. I think this is due to Time Zones and different working hours. I notice that the EU people, like me, all go on at around midday GMT+0, but our America friends over the pond seem to be a sleep. So this is a fairly quiet time for the Buzztouch Forums. When it is evening over in the EU (GMT+0), there is a whole burst of replies and new threads. That's because its midday for the guys over in the States. When I'm asleep, I get tons of emails from the topics I've subscribed to. This is all from the American users. When I start waking up, there is the Australian and Asian burst of topics, and once it starts getting back to midday for me, it's our turn. Of course, there are many more users in America then in Asia, so the I think that each burst of replies and new threads is: 7PM (GMT+0) 2PM EST 11AM PST Do you notice such bursts?

Yep! I notice that I wake up to a large number of posts...then I contribute many myself during my work day...and then it really slows down from about 6PM MST in the US. It's like nobody does anything at night!

Interesting stuff, nice one. For the record, @GoNorthWest never sleeps, he may shut one eye for a second or two but that is it. The weekend traffic is different again. That's when I usually trawl through older posts.

Being from Europe, the good thing about this is, you post a question, go off to sleep, and wake up to a ton of answers... lol Cheers. Miguel

That is true MadRod! Over here, it's 11 PM, but since it's a Friday, any good films to watch on Netflix?
