Including sites that people find on search engines. That's not me assuming out of the blue that front page metrics are good, these are industry standards that are saying front page metrics are good. It's still assuming, though. Especially with a site like this. People can easily, and probably easily, bypass the front page. Especially the regulars who go to specific boards. Also, going to the front page doesn't mean they voted, or even saw, the poll. Or cared about it. If someone did go to the front page to go to a specific game, they might not even care about the poll... FrothySolutions posted... This thread? This thread is not an example of any amount of people that could sway the overall site activity. This thread is specifically the kind of inconsequential "handful" I'm talking about. Even if every person in this thread skipped the poll, it wouldn't come to a fraction of enough. And what else could overall site usage decline mean but that... overall site usage is in decline? I'm saying "When the poll goes down, we'll see that board usage will go down, and so will everything else." And you're agreeing with that, but somehow saying I'm wrong? It's not. But in the handful of people, which are most regulars here, not many have said they vote in the poll regularly. Even the ones who said they vote say they often forget. It's a small sample. But do you have a better sample to say people do vote in the poll almost everyday. The only sample is right here. You could try other boards like CE, the sex board, and politics to see how any vote in the poll consistently, as well. You're not restricted to this board... Except those two things don't necessarily go together. The number of people voting in the poll can go down without the number of users going down. Just like the number of users can go down without affecting poll numbers. Those two things can be connected, but it doesn't mean they are... Nor is it a good metric to estimate site usage. You could probably ask a mod for more info on that if you want it to be correct... --- Official King of Kings Switch FC: 7216-4417-4511 Add Me because I'll probably add you.
