Actually, I don't know if phailyoor is talking about the Windows 8 section or not, I've had a problem recently. First time was posting in one of Josh Cells threads, then one of Alphawaves's, but they never posted and I had to write them up again.

It's not up to 'us', it's due to different time zones. And everybody needs to sleep. Scientists actually don't know why humans really need to sleep, but it's a fact, lol. If you want to get your things approved quickly then post it at 7-10 am or even better at 9-11 pm GMT (UTC).
Better wait some hours for the topic approval then see hundreds of topics like "Active W8 rtm.. how?!?".. If these topics actually exist would your topic jump to page 2 or 3 quickly and nobody sees it.
3 hours? This is way too long. I think that 60 seconds even aren't acceptable. Can you live with 30 seconds? Just give me two hours, I need to quit my job, reject all friends, stop eating and sleeping. What else should I be living for? Without irony: We're all doing this in our free time. If you're willing to pay the team a monthly salary enough for living, I will ensure that threads are approved < 1 min. We have free time, friends, work, relationship etc. I consider 3 hours a good or at least acceptable time. What is so important here that the world can't wait three hours for it?

Keep going Masters, some members are too young and silly to understand the real life point... in fact if they have a life
