I'm not replying to Rimu's comment, because I don't want to get into it with him again, but the graph he posted can't be used as evidence of anything. The data isn't normalized to activity (posts, comments, voting).
If half the people left after the 1.7 implementation, you'd also see a drop in network activity. Based on our (Rimu and I's) previous discussion, there was a significant drop in activity (comments and posts) at that time (I don't have data on votes so can't confidently state they dropped too during that time, but I would be surprised if they didn't correlate with the posts and comments.
As one of the other commentors said, pugjesus left, which I think, was unfortunate but understandable. I was considering leaving, but .zip removed the limit and I believe several other instances did as well.
Nice to hear about .zip
