Watching your responses is interesting. I don't know if you are "voting" on the basis of your own traffic patterns or by what you think. I will let this ride for another day or so and then come back with the answer. Keep "voting" and we will see how close y'all come.

To be honest, I voted based upon the habits I've observed of most active people in the world who have an "outside life" on weekends. They return home on Sunday night, usually late, and first thing Monday, Dad, unhampered by family business gets down to the real business of Flying and Collecting and Building and Learning about his true love, Stunt!
I'm always popping in and out of this site every day, with frequent interuptions related to construction business, where I have to jump into my truck and head out, if only for an hour, then, returning to home/office, I jump back in to an interesting thread. As I've mentioned before, this is "Stunt School". The old interesting stories are fine, which I'm an old story myself, but, there is a great and fantastic wealth of learning to be done here, egos aside.

I was the first Monday vote and based it on observed traffic. Me, if I am close to a computer I am on-line.

OK, you guys are on the right track (sort of) with 50% of you voting for Monday as being the most active day. But I find your lack of confidence in Tuesday or Wednesday (one vote each) rather interesting and the larger number of Friday also interesting.

Now, there were only 6 slots available in the poll, so I left Thursday out. Interestingly, Thursday has more traffic than Friday. In fact, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday have more traffic than Friday. Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday are so close, that it is almost a tie, but the winner is...

Wednesday with 15.791%
Next is Monday with 15.777%
then Tuesday with 15.757%
Friday is 14.643%
Sunday 11.393% and
Saturday 11.295% being the weakest.

Some of you state "honey do" projects on the week-end as being the culprit for less traffic, and, indeed, there may be more people doing more flying, building, and even contesting on the week-ends. But when one looks at the hour by hour traffic counts, the real reason there is more traffic on the week-days is...

yes, a lot of people are checking into the forum while at work (or while I assume they should be at work. Maybe it is coffee break time?)

Now, there are peaks and valleys, highs and lows, but this is a world wide forum and traffic remains fairly constant throughout the 24 hours of the day. My next poll will ask you to guess which hour (US central time) shows the most traffic. Anyone want to start guessing now?

Leonard, perhaps some of those mid day visitors are retired and life is one long coffee break (or it would be except for the household management's demands )

I think my vote was canceled out by a "Hanging Chad". It's either that or I punched thru the wrong place on the computer screen with my poking device. You really should have better directions for us thinking impaired people if we are to vote.

Yes, and some of you guys (west Australian guys) are showing up in the middle of the night as far as we are concerned. I think that explains why the activity is fairly constant, day or night.

Now, which is the busiest hour (Central standard time)? Stay tuned for the next survey?
