I don't game it as much like this, personally. I'd say that time-wise it's better to post in american evenings, since most people are on then.

What gwiz said... and if you are in the Sift Talk part of the site, if you scroll down, on the right hand side there is a "Current Users" section, that'll give you a rough indication of how busy the site is at any given time.

I think VS just winds down on weekends. Friday afternoon, all Saturday and most of Sunday seem to be pretty slow. Even Monday morning is a bit dead. I agree with gwiz and Hybrid, US weekday afternoons are the best times, though any weekday is better than the weekend, I think. Good luck!

My last two top 15 videos were posted on:

Friday, October 1st, 7:32am.
Monday, July 12th, 9:25am.

That's PDT.

I used to remember Mondays used to have lots of votes.

How do you know that if you stopped remembering it?

Bah, don't question me. This was years ago.

Everyone is too drunk or stoned to upvote on the weekends nowadays. Try posting weekday evenings, American-time, when they don't have custody of their children.

Good question. Here, enjoy your first *quality.

Before and after Americans go to work. Weekends used to be huge, but they seem more dead in recent times. Holidays can be slow too.

When it's morning on the internet.

Morning? What's that?

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I agree, sifting on weekdays am/pm seems to be the best.
