I should probably learn to respond to ads on the journal I'm in the game with, but...
Pace is pretty hard to quantify for me, since I think there's actually two factors to pacing: how many posts there are in general, and how many posts there are which are immediately relevant to my interests. But we had a couple on the fourth, a couple on the third...the pattern, from what I've seen, is a major spike in activity when the next influx of characters hits and then it slows down to something steadier. Julya, Sherlock, said it well when she said it balances out to generally medium.
We've also got people in non-US timezones, and I'm Pacific and tend to be up pretty late, so odds are you'll have company. As for backtagging, I just got a reply to a tag I left on the 2nd, and my reaction is more a delighted, "Oh good!" opposed to a cynical, "Pffft, like I'd reply to something that old, fool." I'm just one person, but still.
Also, dunno if this'll help in terms of nerves, but I know at least one person's first time playing their character is in this game. I've been tossing around the idea of apping Sollux. I'll also look over your app and bully other people into it too!
