Best Time to Post on WSO

What time of day or day of the week has the most traffic on WSO? If I had an awesome post (like I'm announcing I found out that Brady, Swaggon, and Bankerella are the same person), I don't want to waste it on a time nobody is watching.

Alternatively, what are the slowest days or times?

Some kind of analysis on how and why posts pick up steam (a la "Tipping Point" by Gladwell) would also be interesting.

I should get at least one SB for the mere suggestion of the trinity of swagger.

Weekday afternoons/evenings EST would be my guess.

1 to 6 am EST and weekends would be my guess.

dick measuring contests, rankings of any kind (especially involving prestige), political debates (especially gun control and affirmative action for some reason), current events that have a racial or political bent (Trayvon Martin or the CT school shootings, for instance), something that strikes a nerve (like the guy who quit banking to play piano)

at least 9/10 times, asking for SBs gets you MS
 

The image below is probably skewed as right now its including July 4th holiday and I'm just assuming that the demarcation line for a day is equal to midnight and that higher the line goes means more traffic, but if true then looks like SirTrades is correct, traffic peaks on weekday evenings and declines into the weekend but starts to increase on Sunday heading into the week. Sites like Alexa and Quantcast let you see this.
