I'd kind of assumed once SZ was free for everyone to post that we'd gain a few posters, either former or new. That wasn't the case :-(
One thing that I find interesting...back in SZ's heyday, most of the posts were made in the morning. I don't know if a lot of people were posting before they went to work, on the way to work (while riding on a subway or bus) or at work before starting work. All I knew is by the time I got home at 3:45 PM and checked, SZ was almost dead (and almost nobody posted on weekends). A number of times, I posted what I thought was somewhat controversial opinions at the end of the day and saw the next day that there were few views and no responses. Now, I can hop on SZ at 11:00 AM or even noon and notice no new posts for the day.
I was just talking about this with Dad the other day...are message boards dead now that we have Twitter and other social media sites on which to connect?
