    Probably just a quiet time then . Many of the old GR members have moved on to pastures new .

    People do go to school, work, college etc etc. Maybe you are coming on at the wrong time. When i am online there are alot of people on the forum, yes it is a little quiet from time to time but that happens on every forum :)

    I notice at about 1PST occasionaly the server will get overloaded so that means that there is alot of people on :P But like kirbir said, there are busy times and there are slow times just like any other forums.

    I really dont know what youre getting at, there are usually like 50 people on when I am. And I am on at different times throughout the day. And I know for a fact that there are more than 5 posts a day, that's how many posts I usually make a day :)

    EDIT: 190 people on now.

    I'm actually loving the fact that the forums aren't down every ten seconds...

    Yeah, I've become a bit too busy with School. I do manage to come on each day thought. But Yeah I've noticed that the forums have been getting a bit boring. Then again, if you remember, all the downtime was before school(during summer) and as soon as school started the site went down on posts.

    Winter Break was alot more active. Wait for Spring Break, or Summer (a long time away, no!) ;)
