It's amazing! Every single hour of the day, there is at least 1 head-fi member (obviously a lot more) on. Wow! These forums never do sleep. Personally, I never actually log off my account; I'm not sure how many other people do the same.

It just means something...

I love active forums like this one. I work night shift at a local hospital, and after 11-12 at night there is very very little to do...aside from studying, I mainly surf the boards; post, read up on new toys, etc.

And actually, this forum isn't nearly as active as a couple other ones that I visit. There are a couple forums that I've been to where you can create a NEW topic, and within 5 minutes it's literally on the 3rd page or so...it's ridiculous! I don't really care for forums that move that fast because it's hard to keep up with all the topics and you miss a lot of stuff.

Push the envelope. Watch it bend.

Well, this is a forum with world-wide members, so I'm not surprised at that, and people post during work, so that makes up for an even larger number than if they just did it at like 9-10pm per zone.

As with Imyourzero, I am also on a forum, where if you refresh the screen, then refresh it again, all of the threads showing are different (and they show 20 per page).

It's essentially a garbage-dump, but it's fast as hell.

Oh. Looks kinda cool (I like some of this anime stuff).

HEY! They're even offering a Free iPod Mini! How Head-Fi appropriate! (Well, inappropriate because its a pyramid type thing...but you know what I mean)

forums.somethingawful.com

www.anandtech.com is a great resource for PC tech, and their for sale forum moves VERY quickly. Like Head-Fi, they are very serious about trolls so it's generally a great place to score deals on PC stuff.

I go to "General Discussion" and the first thing I see is the "My boobs hurt" thread.

Well you did post at 7 pm my time.
It's now almost 1 am here. I came here because I could for a change. I just got off work at the away from terminal, and I am staying at a different motel than usual. This place has an internet connection with a computer.

God the Gaia Online forums are a mess. I can see how it managed to surpass all other internet forums (as ranked by http://www.big-boards.com ) so quickly.

IGN Boards still has more members though.
