But they're all of the same poll.

Let's look at it this way, if you're following a prolific person on Twitter and they frequently ask questions of their followers, but there ends up being just a small number of questions being constantly rotated day after day, how likely are you going to keep answers those same questions after you've already answered them?

Does the inevitable diminishing amount of replies mean that person is losing followers? Or are people just ignoring the recycled fluff and engaging in the new material?

No, I think people are voting in the poll each time. The numbers aren't shrinking because people are like "I voted in this poll last year, I don't need to do it again." Because the numbers are also consistent with polls that don't repeat. A new poll in 2018 has results as small by comparison to a new poll in 2008 as these repeating polls.

the poll is not a good metric for site usage, at all.

there's literally a place you can go to see how many people are actually on the boards, that's the number you should use. not the poll which anyone can vote in, regardless of them having an account or not.

That's what I want to measure. Not just people who post on the boards, but people who use the site, period.
