So IA is slow now a day's its a well known fact. Not talking how fast the servers are and what not, but how many users long on per day, how many posts are made per day, and other general traffic stats. So I got to thinking why this is so?

I came up with the idea that in these hard times with our struggling economy, users are just worn out from the raised levels of stress this economy is putting on them, and don't want to be stuck on the computer in their free time. It could be stress in the form of worrying about their finances, the insecurity of their job, wasting electricity by being on the PC (extreme), having to work a 2nd or 3rd job, or even hating IA cause its hooked you up with all these awesome shops and connections and your car gets really bad gas mileage now ( ). But you get the picture?

If this holds true, think about it! Its showing how bad times have gotten, how the quality of life has been overall reduced by the tough economy. All this just by looking at a simple statistics that measure the usage of IA (LOL).


With that said I will put up a poll with a bunch of options and multiple choices. Pick what applies to you and lets prove me to be an odd ball philosopher or just crazy.
