Am I missing something?
We're all missing something. The CT works in mysterious ways. For a few months we were seeing, in US prime time, what you see in European prime time. Now people are starting to filter back and our numbers are going up.
Here's something that I have found often works for me (which was suggested by someone else, long ago). If you log in and find the CT is empty, go there anyway. Set a time for yourself - five minutes, ten minutes, fifteen minutes - and stay there for that period. Often others will log on, see that at least someone is in there, and the snowball begins to build.
Or not. It doesn't always work! But you can fool around and familiarize yourself with an unfamiliar plane during that time, work on your views or your hammerhead stalls, that sort of thing.
