Yup, Zen's estimate is pretty accurate, methinks!
The school months are a bit slower. Once it hits spring and summer vacation, though, it picks up a lot. XD Basically, it's a pretty laid back site, and while some people may have a lot of stuff going on in their outside lives, the fanbase is dedicated (and everyone is wundaful <3). That makes up for it in my opinion.
Whoaz...you found us from Wikipedia? o__o *goes to look for the article XD*
Anyway! Welcome, and take your time! Don't be afraid to make that leap of faith--getting involved in a thread right away is a bit easier, but I put that suggestion in there mostly to help the less experienced and more impatient (as in...people who would join the site, make an intro post, then vanish into oblivion when no one answered their post within an hour after they'd joined XD). So I wouldn't worry; you'll do fine, and introducing yourself like this is the best way to meet other members and find people who'll be interested. ^__^
>.> I'm already very interested, myself...
And, as protocal demands... *hands you a battle axe* Use it wisely. You'll likely see what I mean soon enough, when the other crazies start pouring in.
Bwahah...and Zen...better run fast when Emoosts gets here.
