Busy Forum

[Keely222]

The off topic forum section seems particularly busy tonight. Is this by any chance because people are trying to fill up their monthly quota for the bonus? Or is it just a randomly busy night? Has anyone actually noticed a difference between the beginning and end of a month? On the otherhand maybe with it being Halloween it's bringing everyone out for the night I'm really curious.

LOL! Even if I do my 9 posts for today, I will come to 29 posts for this month...  GRRRRR! Yeah, probably just trying to get that awesome $3!

That's a good observation; several members do try to get in the bulk of their 30 posts at the beginnings and ends of months, (with the larger proportion of procrastinators opting for end-of-month post-flooding).  It doesn't really matter whether one spreads them out or bunches posts up within a month though; it all pays the same.

Agreed.

Also, the off-topic forum is usually the busier place at any given time anyway.....people can post on just about anything they want to .

I am embarrassed to say -for the first time since I've been posting on FC's forum, this was ME this month.

I wasn't even going to attempt to make it, but I must have decided it was a challenge I couldn't pass up.

Wasn't much fun really though....I'll surely remember that I don't want to do it again!

As previously mentioned, it doesn't matter when one posts as it all pays the same.  Sometimes folks get busy and it doesn't occur to them that a month can pass before they know it?

GRRRRAAahhhh! I always start out good doing 2 a day then mid month something happens or outside problems, unwanted family visiting & regular posting slows down. Now, cramming like crazy & I always promise the 2 a day posting rule for next Time!

I really like to post in this forum and enjoy the activities here. Sometimes it is hard to post daily but I do make time to post two to three times a week and catch up when I can.
