I've seen it lower late at night. Between about 2:00AM and 5:00AM EST is when I notice the fewest people on.

There's about 20 people on now... nothing to worry about. It fluctuates lol. Believe me this forum is thriving compared to others I go to.

When you said it was 10:14 it was only 3:14 here in the UK which means 99% of us were fast asleep. Elsewhere in the World, people would either be at school or at work.

Lol, does indi ever get off or is he hardwired into his computer like the rest of us =]? I think rich made him into some kind of supermod, one that doesn't need to eat, sleep, #$%^ or make love.

@Dink: Yea I agree, this is a very thriving place. Quite contrary to what kenjar was saying but thats a different topic and we won't go there because this is a happy thread

I don't think 99% of forums users live in the DBP, I don't think more than probably 60-70% do .

Hahaha... sorry. Just had to point that out. Personally I don't think many of us live in DBP, but a know quite a percentage live at least in the UK

Despite the typo there, I think the original comment was referring to the fact that 99% of people in the UK would be fast asleep as opposed to 99% of users live in the UK (although, I don't doubt the majority of users probably do live in the UK).

I remember when this was all fields... erm, no, I mean I remember when the forums were so active that it was like being in a chatroom almost (about 2000/2001ish).

As it happens I just found out today that the 6th is also a day for pretty much no activity from shops in Cyprus (ie. 99% of them are closed). Annoying. Something religious apparently. Curses...

Cheers

I am 99% probably lying in bed right now... so don't blame me for crappy typing

Well my power went out last night at 11pm so I pretty much didn't touch the computer until it went back on again this morning.

Lol.

When did dark basic start? 1995? I don't know, for some reason that year comes to mind for DB. Did you guys have a forum when it started? released? a little after?
