The thing is that nobody is saying the numbers aren't dropping. We're saying that you can't based how much they are dropping by the poll of the day. As StelioKontos showed you, you can see board activity by clicking on it. Of course, that doesn't help you figure out the full amount of people as some people use multiple boards. And it only shows current. So it daily users are sleeping or not on for any reason, you wouldn't know. But that's still a better way then the poll which you'll never know if 20% or 80% are voting on. Without even an average vote percentage of users, you can't find out. And even using the average number of votes doesn't work, since that will average out. Now, if you get a 90% or above vote percentage, that could help to tell you about how many people were on that day. But that's about it. End result is that the poll of the day is not the best way to judge how many people still use this site. it's not even a good way. Only a fool would think that's the best way to find out how many people use this site...

You can gauge whether or not the site is dead. You don't need the exact amount of people on the website, if the poll gets zero results, that will probably mean the boards are near deserted. You don't need an exact number, all you need to know is "Less poll answerers = less people on the boards."
