It is not the most active channel, that is true.

but what we very often see is someone joining, ask a question (often even without reading the welcome message) and leave if nobody answers within a minute. Most who are online are not watching IRC all, they do other stuff and check for new messages once in a while, so waiting a bit longer might help.

But i have to admit that i also often don't start it anymore.
