that's right, you ARE new here, which means you don't yet know the ebb and flow of activity here. We have a few days where activity is through the roof, and we have a few days where it's slow. This forum is comparably small when taken into context of some other communities in a similar niche. Our activity during the week tends to be lower, and it tends to increase on the weekends.

You can make a thread about whatever you want, just know that making a thread complaining about a lack of activity doesn't do much good. No one is going to magically make 20 threads for you to read because of it.

Many of us are busy with work/school/university/life and can't spend every waking moment on the forum. Also, when activity here is low there is sometimes more happening in the skype chat.
