Everyone used to check in on Wednesdays and many were, week after week. They changed it so you could choose whenever you want, and all the teams in my group disappeared. It went from a vibrant Wednesday to dead every day. It was incredibly sad as everyone lost touch with each other.
While it was slightly annoying that I couldn't choose the day, it was working. Its one of those things where when you have a deadline many people will make it, when its flexible, it suddenly becomes really hard.
