I stopped posting here for a few years and when I came back it seemed a bit more cliquey,
people saying what you should or shouldn't post at any given time.

Must be something to do with the people who post mainly at this time, then after a while it just caught on.

gayshift/nightshift/superhappyfuntime has fluctuated between busy and very quiet, but has never completely gone away.
In all of that time it's always had a somewhat different character to the dayshift. I've always posted on both, and that didn't seem to be a problem for most people until fairly recently.
Personally I don't take any notice of the time when I post stuff, I just make what I make and post it.
Having said that, I think there's generally more of a playful feeling on the gayshift which encourages lots of quick-and-dirty responses and one-night-only themes, so perhaps there is (or was) such a thing as a gayshift-type pic.

which was kind of a precursor of /talk, and which also housed the dictionary at one stage I think.
