Sssssssssssoooooo, have you ever wondered...

Time zone - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_zone

The earth is round.
This is obvious, but are there many humans in the area where Hawaii and Guam will be in the sun when the timeline is noon?
I think not many.

Proof that space-time is twisted for human convenience🔎🖼joke...However, matters not considered based on UTC+-0 are often subject to error.🌏🕛⌛🔨

Thank you Question(人Θ'o)

maybe sometimes people are just shy and don't want to interact with someone else as they don't know whether it would lead to good good things or like feeling a bit icky and sorta more unpleasant than before. thus it's always safer for them(I'm gonna briefly share a secret tho: when I say people I mean myself as I can't really talk for other guys) to just watch from a distance and hope the people that they want to thank or virtually hug get the sentiment of appreciation through some sorta clairvoyance or some such thingy ig added-edit: while other times things get wacky they act without thinking much and just like blab a lot 🤷

I assume there's at least a few thousand people visiting the site daily, and many probably check the discussions occasionally. But the actually active user, or regulars if you will, that go ahead and interact with other people are probably a few hundreds at best. There's also days when apparently nobody feels like saying anything and we just stare at each other waiting for someone else to make the first move and start talking, like an entire town of introverts.

If I doesn't have something new or helpful to add I usually stay quiet in discussions. Especially since a lot of the topics are questions which already answered when I see them.

You had me at slippery bosom.

I'm assuming that a lot of people don't participate in discussions out of fear of getting blacklisted for having the wrong color background profile, or the wrong amount of inventory items, or anything else silly like that.

Weekends. More people. More GAs.
Weekdays. Tired people. Less GAs.

Thanks for taking the time for creating this :)

I blame konrad.

Soft Sounds of Sweet GAs, Send my Sorrowful Soul slithering to Salvation 🙈

I would reply, but I don't want to increase the number of active users. Oh wait... thanks for the GAs :)

I think a lot of the lack of consistent discussion comes down to a couple things:

• Timezones, as Kappaking said
• Language barriers

Also, there's definitely plenty of people that don't give back to the community. Or at least not with regularity.
Those types aren't too keen on conversation here, I think.

Autojoiners don't join in with discussions, which reduce the "active" users amount by -40%.
From the rest, 60%, use a lot ESGST to join GAs with one click and don't care for something else. Hard to say XX% but i wildly assume that are again 40%.
So 20% leftover as "really active", in a way that could be noticeable (besides the autojoiners with their integrated and activated thanks script) -but of course not all will write something, a part will "only" read-.
This, small, rest i assume as only a few hundred real users that are willing to participate in discussions. Split in timezones and you have sometimes more and sometimes nearly none around.

The number of active ones drops by each month (and more autojoiners and multiaccounts join it, so the gap get bigger) because cg give a fuck for the site and the needed stuff like autojoiner checks SERVER SIDED DONE. As long as his earnings are ok, he don't do work and if his earnings aren't ok, he do only work to fix this (so a lose:lose situation -sad laughing-).

And on top come bullshit suspensions for black sheep hunters of my group and myself.
As example for SPAM, after posting in GA comments a link to a discussion with the recommendation to check their winners with sgtools and think about a min. level restriction.
The great laugh at it is, in a GA with dozens of autojoiner spamming their "thanks" messages and none of them recieved a SPAM suspension.
None of the ~350 Autojoiners that a other member and i reported, over 3 months, got a SPAM suspension. And only 90 got a suspension for autojoining, mostly a few days -after hundreds of hours that we invested in evidence collecting...-.
I got one for "Inappropriate Behavior" (maybe to fill the streak 3 thing for the same suspension, to make it a perma one), for the same type of comments, but i don't posted a link, i posted a full comment with such infos. My suspension reason had stuff like the sentence "gifters don't like such comments", in a GA where the gifter thanked me for my advice :-D (it's so stupid/laughable...).
I done around 30 messages/month such advice comments, so a lower amount as the autojoiners with activated thanks script do in one day, and wrote in average around 300 other comments/month in the discussions. So in short, i were a very active user (as cg like it).
Since this bullshit suspension, only based on one mod that don't like me and use fake reasons because want to kick me (I assume this happen sooner or later [i would go with sooner^^]), I thought about my spend lifetime (thousands of hours) and what i want to get back for it and decided to get treated worse as the cheaters isn't what i want in exchange for it.
So i reduced my involment in the discussions down to around 60 comments/month.

I don't care anymore for stuff from randoms that i don't know. Like puzzles, if someone had a car accident, got a degree etc. etc. etc..
If i know the one from the past, in a positive way, i react, sometimes (thats the reason for the 60 comments/month).

Multiple users from my group done the same (+ don't hunt black sheeps anymore too) since the suspensions of real users that helped the site, partly since years, and got spit in the face for it.

The junior mods, when promoted to senior mods, will slow down the dying of the site but in the end none can prevent it with a owner and only admin that don't care.
When the autojoiners are 60%, not much users will do anymore, many, GAs because the site will be dead in the discussions, Deals and Freebies excluded, and no connection anymore between the people, "all" will be randoms.

Compare amount of comments to amount of people who voted in the community polls.
Also they were on display and still pretty much died natural way xD

I have that weird feeling that people are less and less interested in taking part in discussions. Try to have your opinion and somebody is offended. Try to criticize SG and soon you find yourself permanently suspended :)

I'm just here for the POTATO!

In golden days of Humble Bundle there were more good bundles, more giveaways, so more people came here and joined discussions when they visited.

Besides the fact that many members have automated their presence on SG it is normal for regulars to become less active in the discussions as they have seen it all before(mostly). If there isn't a constant influx of non-automated newcomers to whom all is fascinating and shiny forum activity will decrease.

Funny you mention that -- I do get the feeling that even in public, level 0 GAs the number of entrants diminished a little in the last few months.

Now, now, dont be too cheeky or else I'll adore you 🙃
I believe there are often many active people, they just wanna lurk sometimes.

Master lurker award goes to me!:D
