Ever wondered when would be the best time to post a thread for maximum engagement? Well, you could probably have figured it out from my previous threads (here and here) on when the denizens of Torn sleep, but here's some more data.

 

I've pulled all the threads and posts from the last 90 days in GD forum. Then tried to figure out which weekdays and which hours of the day see the most activity in the forums, measured by number of new posts. Turns out, weekends are pretty dead, especially Saturdays. The best time to post something if you want quick engagement is TCT afternoon on workdays, especially on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Those bright flares you see are a couple of high traction threads, but they don't skew the overall view enough to bother isolating them imo.

 

 

Another active forum for threads and discussions is Faction Discussion. Though this one is probably super obvious...

 

 

Basically a ton of activity after matchmaking on Tuesday, then some shit talk during wars and GGs after war on Friday - Saturday afternoons.

 

TLDR: General Discussion forum is most active when EU people get off work and US people wake up, so around 16-21 TCT. Faction Discussion forum is comparatively dead, except for right after matchmaking when opponents place bets and talk shit to each other before the war.

So what you are saying is that when posting at certain times while multiplying by a factor of 10... to... the.. nth... power... divided... by...  zzzzzzzzzzz  (me trying to read another chart/graph/stat on GD forums)

Well if you hate drama (GD and FD are full of drama), there are alternative ways.

 

You go to the achievement forum. You congrats ppl there and 99% of the time they will upvote you.

 

Secondly Q&A. That one is sweet for karma farming. I hate that the staff wanna-be are always diligent there before they applied as staff then MIA after they are pointed as staff. Lol i'm j/k. They probably just get busy.

 

But if you want challenge to see how good you are in karma farming, go to unrelated topics forum. Your post needs to be really good to earn some karma. Don't go to P&L. That one is full of drama.
