Topic	At the current rate of user loss, GameFAQs will be dead in a few short years.
FrothySolutions 02/23/20 12:48:12 PM #1:	I'm not the only one who compares voter turnout in the polls to see how active GameFAQs is. And "Do you look at the results of the Poll of the Day before you vote?" is a good poll to gauge with. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/2174-do-you-look-at-the-results-of-the-poll-of-the-day-before-you https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/2998-do-you-look-at-the-results-of-the-poll-of-the-day-before-you https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/3681-do-you-look-at-the-results-of-the-poll-of-the-day-before-you https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/5001-do-you-look-at-the-results-of-the-poll-of-the-day-before-you https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/5999-do-you-look-at-the-results-of-the-poll-of-the-day-before-you https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/6671-do-you-look-at-the-results-of-the-poll-of-the-day-before-you https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/6999-do-you-look-at-the-results-of-the-poll-of-the-day-before-you The peak was in 2008. We were still going strong in 2009, but we lost 11,711 voters over 682 days by late November. About 17-18 users per day. We lost a lot more by 2013. 36,043 voters over 1,180 days. About 30.5 users per day. The 2010s was when things started to look bad. People really started to migrate. By Fall 2015 we lost 18,800 voters over 936 days. About 20 users per day. The bleeding then starts to slow in Spring 2017, thank goodness. A mere 5,195 voters over 581 days. Just under 9 users per day. But a little under a year later in late February 2018, we lose 3,975 voters in 313 days. Now we're up to an average loss of about 12.7 users per day. And finally, just a few days ago, February 2020, we saw a loss of 5,285 voters over 727 days. About 7.27 users per day. The last poll had 5,817 voters. If we continue at our current rate of about 7 users lost per day on average, the June 2022 version of this poll will have no votes. But let's assume the bleeding will continue to slow. How much time does that give us? Maybe 2025? Unless the Reddits and Twitters become unpopular, and the glory days of forums return. It could happen! There was a time when forums were on top. There was a time when America Online was the only Internet. Why should Twitter and Reddit rule forever? Surely a time for them to experience a heavy loss of users must come? And someone new to take its place? Someone new, that is old? <cite>FrothySolutions posted [p:934770845] in At the cur...
