We are pretty active. I do not know how many exactly are active at any given time, but there is typically always someone on. I have this site open as a tab 24/7 and I check every hour or so and see what’s going on.
The discussions on questions depends on the question itself and the interest level for it.
I get quicker and longer responses on fluther than some other sites I used to be on.
It doesn’t seem like there’s a ton if traffic like the old Answerbag days, but fluther seems very efficient and some people here really do try to give thoughtful, helpful answers so I like it. : )
Welcome to Fluther!
I think it depends on the question. Some questions can get really lively and others can be answered in just a couple of posts, especially something like a technical or computer question. Politics and religion can get a bit lively, but I think most people try to be respectful.
