I know that the US Open was on TV today, but it strikes me that member usage is down a fair bit on the weekend relative to during the week. That leads me to believe that a lot of members are on the .org when they are at work or at school.

Is there any truth to this belief? Perhaps a moderator or two could chime in on when peak usage is overall on the .org, ie. any particular day of the week, any particular time of the day (say Eastern time).

Feel free on when you are most inclined to use the .org and if, in fact, you should be doing something else.

If this query is considered OT or irrelevant, please delete.

 

I notice that there are more people on at about 8am (moutain time) and right after about 3:30. That is when I notice the most people..

 

It is almost summer so most people, such as myself, are working more....I work between 60 and 80 hours a week. Money, money, money....money!!!

 

on the work, thats when i'm all over this forum

 

I can't log on from work since I drive trucks, but I do hit it hard after work... around 6:00pm eastern..

 

Golf had nothing to do with my absense. I've been watching Le Mans and F1 all day.

 

I'm on usually only at work, and rarely on weekends unless i have a little free time, much just like today. My work access to the address forums.maxima.org is actually blocked, but I found a backdoor around that by going thru norcal.maxima.org.

 

I'm on it alot at work also....I work nights and have computer access, so why not?

But I have noticed, the OT forums are busiest during the day. I think alot of people check it out during the daytime.

 

I usually ocme on when I am really bored and got nothing to do...like right now. I'm not tired and my car isnt healthy enough to go out and do delinquent things hahaha. also when I have a problem and need info. I use to come on more, but the 4th gen section has gotten so embarassing that its not worth it.

 

Murdoch im almost exclusively on when im at work. for 8-12 hr streaches...that explains my post count relative to my join date

Once my degree goes to use and I have a 'real' job...I dont think ill have this much time to post...but the weekends are when I am available to be on the most because I work them consistantly. Holy crap Polak 80 hrs a week!?
Im thinking im gonna keep this job on sundays (bc its dead and all I do is surf the net) for a little added cash when I get a 9-5 somewhere else...for a little bit.

 

how can you handle working 80 hours a week polak??? i work about 55 and am dead every week... i only work monday thru friday

EDIT: I forgot why i even posted in this thread my mistake. I am usually on after work they dont let me use computers while im working.

 

Thanks for your contribution to the thread!

 

It's true for me. I'm a grad student, so I spend a lot of time in the lab or in front of a computer (when I'm not out in the field). Hopping onto the .org is a nice diversion. I'll typically sign-on for few minutes several times a day.

Great for 10 minute breaks!

 

people have a life on the weekend and would rather not spend time talking about boring cars i guess

 

I try to comne on at least once a day for atleast an hour. It is sumer time people are working more, doing the repairs/maintinance/mods they couldnt do in the winter time, plus is summer head out side take a cruz, hit the track, BBQ, etc. I still am on hard and when I get back to school in day and am back on the T1 instead of this 56K then I will be on here a lot more.

 

I can't check the .org out at work because I work retail...there's always something to do. It wouldn't be too good if I was standing in the computer dept. not doing any work. I'm always on at home, and because I only work 25-30 hours per week I have a lot of spare time...I just work and come home, that's my exciting life! Living in the country, there's not much else to do.

I'm usually on when I wake up (on my days off) and in the evening too. I don't log on very late though because I work mornings starting anywhere from 6am to 9am so I need my sleep!

 

hell ya man!

 

gotta pay for mods somehow

 

Weekends the car is getting worked on or driven if nice weather, no .org surfing unless looking for a solution. When I do log on, the time spent on is related to new/updated threads. If it's the same old y-pipe and altezza threads my visit can be breif . . .

 

I usually visit during work because i sit at a compouter with high speed internet and i notice a high traffic time about 10-11 a.m. eastern!

 

yea im on at work mostly when im bored then i go home and i cant go back on cuz ive looked at everything earlier in the day.....

 

I'm a full-time (broke@ss) grad student... so I'm on the .Org whenever I need a diversion or am procrastinating... I do need to cut my .Org hours down big time though...

 

Most users ever online was 778, 12-13-2004 at 11:01 PM.

I'm guessing that Monday was the first day of winter break?

I'm online @ work.

 

It would be interesting to know if the mods could somehow clean up the membership list so they could get a handle of how many "active" members there are. I am not sure if that would also facilitate the effective operation and maintenance of the website.

 

Hmmm...try the Feedback forum.

 

Thanks for the feedback and incisive comments. Mods please feel free to move this thread to where you feel it belongs.

Thank you

 

Instead of taking a 15 minute smoke break every couple hours, I jump on the Org. Plus my work T-1 connection is a plus for some of the bigger file threads.

 

depends for me


but normally i'm on night crew

When I first joined I would be on after lunch for 2 and half hours because I was at school doing IT work for credits then at night. Now I'm on more than I sleep which is pretty bad
