The thread turnover on here seems much slower while people are stuck at home, presumably doing something useful.

Much busier when people are supposed to be working behind their desks 😂

They’re all out getting their one bit of exercise a day, where previously it was once a week, if it wasn’t raining.

The only topic anyone has on their mind is Covid-19 so those threads are getting all the attention.

I guess STW Towers will have click-rate and new post data.

Seems busier than pre virus but whole place still feels quiet but I've had a long spell away from paying close attention. I'm comparing to late noughties - when I was around these parts a bit more regularly. I keep looking at the front page of the forum thinking it never used to go out to 5 - 6 hours.

Appeared to have become quieter since the update. This will probably be proven wrong by stats

No one-day-old last post threads on the first page, that's faster turnover than in a long time. The 1 day mark was genarally between half way and few posts from the bottom pre Covid.

Pity the views can't be monetised because there's not much point advertising many things when they are for services or stuff people can't buy. 🙁

I assumed people spent all day on here while they were at work. Now they're at home with Netflix, Playstations, and pornhub there's no reason to visit anymore.

Yep, it's a desk based distraction for me at work. Now I'm at home and children constantly want things I'm now resorting to browsing here in my phone after they're in bed.

Work does make a difference, in terms of the time I spend on here. Also, my mental state. STW is like a port in the storm for me, so if I'm on less, it's only because I'm probably more content cracking on with other stuff. And certainly in the last week or two, riding has definitely occupied more of my time.

But if it helps, I find the threads more interesting recently. Also, I love the new format.

I keep looking at the front page of the forum thinking it never used to go out to 5 – 6 hours.

Point of note here is that the index is longer than it used to be. There's 80 threads on the 'front page,' I can't remember exact numbers but I think it used to be about half that.

@Cougar - now you mention it, I was thinking there were more threads on ‘page 1’ than there used to be, I have to scroll down further than I used to, and that’s on a 10” iPad Pro in portrait mode. Thanks for confirming it’s not just my imagination! 😁
