<div class="IPBDescription">a quick observation</div>It's 8:32PM EST here. I'm going to log off right now, but I've been noticing this trend an I've taken a screenshot (cropped) that you can see attached below.

It good to know that we have a lot of readers active, but it leaves a lot of unanswered "why" questions, doesn't it?

    Oh no, you caught me online!

    Could also be users/lurkers that are not logged on. I often find myself browsing as "Guest" until I go to make a post and realize I'm not logged in.

    Maybe it's older members such as myself? I'm not older, but I use to post on here a lot. Now I just enjoy reading <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />
