Most evenings I log in and usually a few follow. Mudchat now seems to work well with none of the revolving door syndrome that people got fed up with. When Mudcat was down during the big overhaul I visited other chat rooms but felt that once mudchat was back it should be supported and so I no longer visit the other rooms. Only this week we got back up to about ten one vening although that doesn't happen as often these days. It is of course Summer and a lot of folk are out there enjoying holidays and festivals ( I would say the sunshine but with howling gales and temperatures more suitable for October I won't). UK catters tend to come in around 5.30pm onwards mudcat time but I agree with Leadfingers that sometimes folk just don't give enough time for someone to reply.
