I'm planning to research on this, and it may turn into a news article if the research looks good.

Basically, what I need people to do, is simply answer these questions. Please put it in question-answer format. I'd hate to have to kill you...

QUOTE
1. Username

2. Country

3. Time zone? (GMT? PST? ...)

4. What time's are you usually on codex?

5. What time's (your time) do you find codex most active?

6. In your opinion, what time zone appears to be the best one to be in? Answer with a country if you wish.

7. Regardless of time zones, when do you think people like to be on codex? Weekends... weekdays? After school hours, before school hours? Fridays? Holidays?

8. Same question as above, except answer when you think people DON'T like to be on codex. Why do you think that? E.g. School days- people don't have time to be on. Weekends- people have other RL commitments... clubs and sports and friends and things.

9. What do you do with yourself, if you are online when codex is sleeping? (as in no one is posting)

10. Anything else you wish to add? What are your overall thoughts... opinions on the subject? Answer with anything you wish tongue.gif Imagine I'm going to quote you in the article or something tongue.gif Anything!

Activity on Codex will most likely peak during the free time of Americans, as they dominate the board in terms of number. However, that just gives other members more topics to read when they wake up tongue.gif Forums don't necissarily have to be active while you're on...it's not a Chat Room. smile.gif
