Why does the Lounge roll up and die so early on weekends now?
It wasn't like this a year ago. Are folks just older and more tired now, or have they actually found stuff to do? :shrug:

1. Buncha old farts, like me. Plus the three-hour time difference between you Left Coasters
and us Yankees.

2. Yeah, I allow for that
Used to be, though, there were a few Easterners you could count on to be around in the wee hours, until midnight PT or so.

Guess they got... I dunno, lives or something.

Sometimes I hate being left-coasted and nocturnal. x(

And where the hell is Buffy? :shrug:

3. i think a few regulars have been on hiatus or left or got banned
then you've got people like me who aren't necessarily gone, just not posting. the lounge has been slow lately, period. even with people around.

9. I think the DU slow motion is part of the problem.
I keep going elsewhere when the threads take forever to load.

Sweet dreams.

Skinner said they need to do something about the server.

8. Yeah, I saw that thread
Maybe the technical troublems have chased off some folks. Or maybe it's the recent nastiness in GD.

Actually, I don't have much more of one, not having found a babysitter yet, but I have more of a life than I did this time last year.
