On: StackOverflow now gets fewer than 1000 questions a month

> So users wanted it how it was.

A group of active users wanted it that way. Some other group of users didn't necessarily understand the power mechanisms, others would would have liked to be active users were driven away.

It's however tough to know what a quiet diverse majority would have liked.

What matters is however the active users answering questions.

Well, if they drive away interesting questions or interesting answers that matters, too.

The problem is that measuring the unknown is tough.
