Title: The forum is asleep?
Post by: gondel on May 25, 2014, 09:46:20 PM
Hi,
I am from a different time zone, not  the USA time zone. I dont know if the majority of people here are from USA, but i think at certain time the forum is going to sleep :D You think most of the people are from US, is there somekind of statistics from the forum admin what people from where are participating here...? Can you make this information public? I recently graduated at the Sofia University ( my second time) and i ma expert at statistics ( BTW i can help you with something)..I am just wondering if people here are mainly from US
BR

it's not 100% scientific, but you could just go to the off-topic subforum and create a poll.

I'm sure the majority will be from the USA but the rest will probably be spread out all over the world. UK would probably be the second largest. Would be interesting to see the whole stats though.

USA 27.2%
Russia 8.5%
UK 4.9%
India 4.8%
Canada 4.2%

I wonder how many Bitcointalk users use these extensions. I doubt those numbers are anywhere near reliable.

it doesn't actually "Sleeps" some other timezones have this as their working time too. Allot of the people here are from U.S.A but other's contribute more than %50 so they could keep it active if they want -also it's still relatively active "most subforum has more than a post/5 mins"-.

I have noticed that the forum is way more active when America is awake, so I would assume that most people live in the USA. I also get more replies when America is awake, so yeah.

You can't get any info from Alexa or other services. Everybody use VPN's in the internet.

I believe a majority of the people here reside in the Americas because activity really seems to slow down in the late night and early morning and remains fairly stable in between.

Yes i see that there is a lot more activity during the american working time zone. Sad for me that the marketplace is not always delivering outside america..

Like others said probably the majority is from USA, I''m myself at ET (Europe time) So when here It's 6 PM at USA 11 PM so for me the forums Is the most active at early morning or about 8-9 PM. But I'm sure there a lot people not only from USA so the forums should be more or less active all the time, I didn't notice any major activity change on the forums according to time.

It depends more on your time zone. For instance, I'm in the U.S Central time zone. Meaning, it's later in other time zones, or earlier.

That's exactly the time im posting alot, that's why when i wake up I got alot more replies then during the day.
I dont know why there shouldn't be alot of europeans on this forum to.
Do you guys think Bitcoin is more popular in the Usa then in Europe?

I think I know what happened since they banning people this forum became more dead.  use to be alot of action but people are leaving this forum and going else where.  I saw lots of action at all times and love reading what people have to say but since they got strict here, the forum has been even dead in all hours.

Yeah, I am from the USA, I see the forum is mostly active when I am awake. When it is late at night and I am on, it is less active.

For us in Europe that means staying awake to see all the price changes from ze USA people :(
