When is your forum most active?

[David Beroff]

I'm interested in seeing what days and hours other forums are most active. Mine is around Wednesday, Thursday and Friday around evening time. Which was a shock to me as I wouldn't have put the start of the week as the most popular or on Saturday or Sunday.

Hmm I would have assumed most sites were more popular on the weekends than the weekday, interesting!

When I owned a gaming community a while ago it was always busy on the weekends.

This is the first time I have ever heard of this, I have all websites that get most active on days in a week but not for weekends.
Thanks for your sharing this information! I think it depended on which niches we are running for our websites

It honestly could have been due to the fact we were a gaming community and the gaming niche is largely in favour of the younger generation. The younger generation are mostly active during the weekend

Weekends are popular for me but it really fluctuates looking at my website stats.

When I ran a wrestling board it was always very popular on the Monday/Tuesday when their shows aired and people came to the forum to discuss the event.

I am sure your forum is related to entertainment or general discussions thus more people wanted to visit it in the weekends.

Yeah I would imagine more entertainment sites would be active during the weekend due to everyone being off school or work.

I have a technical help forum. Most of the users are active during the weekdays and not much traffic during the weekends. Since it is related to technical work there is a good number of visitors and I see spikes during the mid of the week like Wednesdays

Exactly, the weekends will get the most less traffic if compared with the weekdays.

Exactly Right...! The weekend gets the less traffic from the users as compared to weekdays.
