MacRumors Late Nite

[ziggyonice]

I'm the type of person who stays up pretty late -- and here in the U.S., it's already after hours. So once it starts to hit these late night timeframes, the activity on MacRumors slows down considerably. I keep my eyes on the Forum Spy, looking for a new post to pop-up... although it sometimes takes a while for it to happen, after dark. But when it does, I rush to complete a response, interested in seeing who else might be waiting for some action on a slow evening.

So... anyone else consider themselves a member of MacRumors' late night crew?

Well, I'm in Australia, so when I'm on late, it's early morning for you guys in the US.

I'm a junkie for making myself helpful to others late a night.

[iBlue]

Well it's 9:30am in jolly olde England and I often find this place to be a bit of a ghost town around these hours. It's a damn shame, it is.

[ziggyonice]

It's kinda sad, really. The posts that show up around this time are usually rather lame, I've found. They're either random, totally off-topic responses to threads with 500+ replies, or they're just the strangest of things to read. Interesting things and interesting people happen at this time of day (or night)... but nothing as productive as what appears during the busy hours.

[TwinCities Dan]

I'm in... ;)

[jamin100]

Yup, im in England too and its 10am here . .

Usually really quiet until around 1-2pm

[PBF]

I'm in too. It's almost six in the morning here in New York, and I've not gone to bed yet. Feeling kinda insomniac. 

[Doctor Q]

I've been on the forums as late as 3am and as early as 5am, but those weren't on the same night! :eek:

Awww c'mon, Doc! You can sleep when you're dead! :D

[thegoldenmackid]

I am good until about 3EST, which is only midnight in the West Coast...But you get the idea...

[Randman]

Start threads yourself or keep 'em going. Things slow down at night but there are those of us still lurking.

Me at times. Love the self imposed Graveyard shift.

haha, Hey someone's got to take it, right? It'll be that time soon enough as it's already starting to slow down for the night. I'll be here for another couple hours though as I'll probably hit my 68000 status tonight. :)

Better start posting!

Same here.

I guess we've gotta come up with some of our own late night threads to keep ourselves entertained.:cool:

EDIT: I just can't think of anything to start a thread about......

You could start a thread for people to post ideas for new threads. :D

[Surely]

Well, since it's your idea, I insist that you start it. :p

[jav6454]

Well, since it's your idea, I insist that you start it. :p

Surely you can find a better idea to post off? :D

I don't think the mods will like it... :p

[Surely]

@jav6454: Don't call me........ ;)



I don't think the mods will like it... :p

Yeah, I was thinking that exact thing.:D

Back to the drawing board.......:p

[ziggyonice]

Better start posting!

Mission accomplished. It's about time... :)

[Surely]

Hey, welcome to the 68000 club......

Now you can feel as special as me. :p

That's my ringtone!:eek::eek::D




And;)

[ziggyonice]

Rather off topic, but I didn't want to create a new thread... It could be a rather interesting late night conversation! :)


How do you use MacRumors? As in, personally, what do you find yourself doing on the site? How long would you say you spend on the site? What content do you find yourself looking at the most?

For example, I find that I spend most of my time on the Forum Spy. And in fact, I may a couple hours on the site at a time, when it's busy (or when I'm bored during these late hours). I probably check the site (and the Spy) several times a day. What about you?

[whooleytoo]

Good question!

1 I usually pop in scan the front page quickly for any amazing headlines ("Apple launches Mac successor, the Apple Jack 4GHz 3D VR Pro...").
2.Then when I'm disappointed, I pop into my favourite forums (Gaming & Programming).
3. Then scan the "Community" forum, there often are interesting stories in there.

I don't tend to look at other areas much, or use the Forum Spy; hence I don't stumble into a lot of threads in other areas. I do have a compulsive need to win every argument, hence the "XXX has just replied to a thread you subscribed..." emails keep me coming back! :)

I'm often on here up until 3-3:30am GMT, whether that's the late, early or middle shift I don't know..

[jav6454]

MacRumors @ nite.... mmm

It's over, the sun is up. Hide fellow night lurkers... Let us wait for next sundown.

Also, ziggyonice congrats on becoming 68xxx.

[Surely]

The sun is up, but I'm still here.......

[Mexbearpig]

Im am also a lurker

[Eidorian]

Forum Spy crawls after 12 AM EST/EDT.

[jav6454]

Well my dear readers, it's late nite... where are you all night lurkers at?

[jmann]

Well my dear readers, it's late nite... where are you all night lurkers at?

Here! :) I'm no lurker though. :p

[anjinha]

I'm here too.

[ziggyonice]

Well my dear readers, it's late nite... where are you all night lurkers at?

Here someplace, that's for sure. It'll be really quiet in an hour or so. I'm just not the type of person who goes to bed that early, so I've got to have my MacRumors fix during the middle of the night!

[-aggie-]

Why not go find some of the posts with no replies and answer them? Usually, they're the ones who haven't bothered searching or are just plain dumb, but hey, you could make their day ( or night).

[Surely]

Somebody call?

If you need the Forum Spy to move quickly, feel free to send me a PM. :D

[ziggyonice]

I just spent the last couple hours of the night making this post (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?p=8536817). With all the requests for people trying to figure out how to connect their notebook to their TV, I figured I'd make something I can refer to in future posts.

What do you think? :)

[Badandy]

I'm definitely a member of the late night crew. It's almost 2 AM here on the West Coast and I'm usually up until 3 AM or so.

[caligurl]

good morning! so are all you late night folks asleep? while us early morning folks are just waking up???? early to bed, early to rise and all that hubbub! :rolleyes:

i don't see midnight (or 11, even) too often cuz i get up at 4 a.m.!

Why? Why would anyone do such a thing? :)

Just reading your message, a funny thing occurred to me.. If we lived in the same city, the same street, even the same house, we might never, ever meet.

I wonder how many others are like that... Maybe there are millions of people around who'll live their entire lives in the same spaces; but never meet because half are the early shift and half the late.. :p

[caligurl]

very true! there are a lot of houses i drive by that i never see anyone around! heck... my neighbors, right next door... i never see!

the worst part is hubby's NOT a morning person... but i try to make him one... i'm all bubbly and happy and try to make him get out of bed at a "decent" hour and he thinks he needs to sleep in! plus he's very grumpy and grouchy in the a.m.! :mad:

[rhett7660]

Since I am on a new shift, I have been hitting macrumors late at night also. Heck 2-3-4 in the morning I am here. Sigh. Does this mean I have no life. :(

[Melrose]

I'm in... ;)

Jaeger. niiiice!

Yes.

It does.

Moving on......

Yeah, if you like drinking cough syrup.:p

Eww.

Quick hide under the rocks and await the nite!

Not that I think off. The thread is for graveyard shifters only... and our shift is not on yet.

[Surely]

I think I qualify.

You aren't the boss of the internets.

Can this be like the Friday Beer threads that went on a looong time ago? They were soo cool! :cool: Friday Beer (or whatever it was called) was when you could post about anything you wanted for Friday only. But instead of Friday only, how about late nite only? :D

It'd be a good idea, but the problem is, how do you define night when the users around the world are waking up or already in the middle of the day.

You wouldn't. People could just post in here when things get slow to occupy their brain for several seconds.

[jav6454]

The point of a Late Nite thread is to promote users that are at late night hours to post away. That's the theme;)

[electroshock]

Thanks, MR day crew, for holding down the fort. Now we'll take the graveyard shift -- thanks, guys. :D
