Do you ever wish there were more people on this forum?

I seem to find myself spending a lot of time here on the forums and the inactivity sometimes bugs me. I don't if it's because I'm in Europe so many users might be asleep currently, but it feels empty at times. I wish it was a bit livelier with more people around. At the same time it's understandable, PE isn't really a wide known phenonmenon. Others might even say it's better this way so we have the secret to ourselves.

I'm in europe too, and feel the quiet hours, when the US is asleep, and sometimes astounded, when i log on in the morning to find a lot of new treads and posts. I usually go via the first forumpage, because it has a sidebar with all new posts, but overnight (for me) it far exceeds the list, and i often think i miss interesting treads because they are active, when i am off

In reallity, this is one of the more active PE/forum, most others are way more dead, perhaps except the reddit forum. But that has a form, i find tiresome, because it is almost only new treads, with up to 10 comments, and then they die. In time it is a lot of repetition. Here it is more in depth, and with easier access to confirmed knowledge.
But if you wish, we can make a europe tread to keep us entertained while US sleeps

See some of like the gym forum, as its a place to come and relax, have a laugh, mix it up a bit with others, but yes some of us are here in Europe and the States has the biggest clan some in Aus and a few others far flung places but a great clan to have and mix with.

Most of the yanks are just joining now some are already here, mind you they have frozen fingers, as its bloody cold there right now.

A euro thread is a good idea.
I am told the german court conviction for hate speech was recently upheld.

It always comes in ebbs and flows, sometimes it could be really busy and other times not so much. It has always been like this.
It also depends on the current stalwarts, whether they are making an active effort to increase activity, i.e. new threads, quizzes, having some banter etc.
I wouldn't complain though, as it is generally a pretty active forum.

When I com on, I always click on New Posts which lists the most current posts.

Used to have a pantload of spammers posting where to buy Magic Beans (grow your own Beanstalk), however, they seem to have gone somewhere else.

Sure, we like new members joining and posting, especially when they bring cakes, donuts, pastries, or beer.

There are 171,000 members. Not all active, but many pop in from time to time. Most like to read and keep up with what is going on all things PE related. Many read but don't post. Which is fine, just know that what you write is being read by far more than those that respond. And, yes, the regulars are somewhat congregated in the US so time differences are a factor. But at anytime of the day, I have been able to find members ready to have a conversation. Don't hang on an immediate response, but know that one will come withing 12 or so hours.

Plus, I have noticed that there are more long-term regulars that stick around from since I joined, or come back from time-to-time, which is a good indication for the forum. I still see the same profiles posting/coming back on from a few years back, with the exception of a few that I miss
