Are most Slackers in Europe these days?

It looks like a lot of the people in this forum seem to be posting from Europe. Their posts would appear over what, to me, is overnight.

Is that where Slackware's popularity has moved to?

(I know that ruario, Alien Bob and LuckyCyborg are there...).

It's the boomerang effect

Myself, I live in Romania, which is located in the eastern side of Europe.

Excuse me, even I am happy to see my name in this select company, I am not sure if I subscribe to your definition of "European".

Geographically, I live somewhere in the North of Europe, near Finland, but my country has on East side the Japan and Alaska as neighbors, and precisely we are not part of European Union.

If you refer to European citizens, I am not one, if you refer to Europe as continent, yes, and I live in its North.

Also @ponce in Italy

Darth Vader · 12-07-2017, 12:19 PM

Also @Didier Spaier is French.

ruario · 12-07-2017, 12:20 PM

There are quite a few Canadians though as well IIRC e.g. ivandi, hitest, you, etc.

Darth Vader · 12-07-2017, 12:26 PM

I think that @BrianL is from United Kingdom, and pure blood English fellow.

ruario · 12-07-2017, 12:27 PM

Oh and brianL is from England but still loads of people in the U.S.A., e.g. onebuck, enorbet, frankbell, Richard Cranium, bassmadrigal, ReaperX7, kingbeowulf, Drakeo, ttk, Daedra, AlleyTrotter and of course volkerdi! :P

Edit: Darth, you are so fast today! :P

Darth Vader · 12-07-2017, 12:37 PM

I think there are much many Europeans, at least looking at their username.
