I've found that the only times where heavy traffic occurs in the rinkforum is when:
A) During rather long holidays, where everyone talks about that paticular holiday
B) When something really weird happens and everyone knows about it or
C) When someone decides to post some incredibly insane topic that no one would have thought of before. (Rinkforum games included)

DOOM caused a great deal of traffic, for example, as did Christmas and New Years (Which I wasn't a part of becasue I wasn't around). Also, I'm pretty sure that the "Box" game had the most posts on the topic (and completely destroyed the margins). Personally, I don't use any chat that much and prefer to use the forum. I also agree with Unipeg that there really haven't been many posts on extremely interesting stuff recently. Oh well. Maybe tomarrow.
