[Quiet Man Cometh]

Yeah, that's the generally what's going on in my circles and is the reason I've often heard for summer slowdowns. Trisphee's event schedule just doesn't have that much affect on my real life schedule. I don't exactly sit down and think "gee, Tris is boring today. I think I'll go camping for a couple of weeks."

By all means, have some manner of event to try and gain more of a user base for the slow times, but I would reserve the large ones for times when the site is naturally active so it has the best change of being successful.
