I think one of the reasons people aren't posting as much is because of the sudden push forward since others had decided to just skip past the day. (And also nothing was actually said by the GM to help move things along either.)  One of the reasons I am not really a fan of playing in multiple threads at once kinda of stuff is because time frames go all over the place and as a result some people will be days ahead while others won't. (Plus it is just confusing at times.)
