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

In the time I've been heregayshift/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.

A lot of those people stopped posting and syphoned off into 4rthur.comwhich was kind of a precursor of /talk, and which also housed the dictionary at one stage I think.
