Look at the history of this poll:

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/8124-why-are-you-visiting-gamefaqs-today

The percentage for I'm just here for the poll has been consistently increasing by big chunks over time, meaning that people (at least poll voters) have been losing interest in everything else.

At the same time, though, people who are into videogames but don't use GameFAQs, they DO fully recognize the site for various reasons, mainly contests, boards, and guides for old games.

Maybe unsurprisingly, I've come across people who weren't actually aware the site still existed and keeps going to this day, but they still have interest in it because they mainly associate the site with retro games (which is ironically the lesser relevant part of the site in terms of traffic compared to newer games, despite being the actual main interest in social boards like this one), so they're actually willing to get back to it.

tl;dr: GameFAQs regulars are probably losing interest due to monotony, but the right publicity could bring people back and gather more interest, therefore injecting liveliness into a small community.
