I have noticed that things tend to be slowest from about 3 to 6 a.m. Eastern time. That's after most of the West coast has gone to bed, and before most of the East Coast wakes up/
For the insomniacs, the 3 to 6 AM window can be a lonely vigil. Why, it might be as much as 30 minutes between new threads.
