I was thinking originally that the drop had something to do with changes to categories, but looking more closely, the drop was across all categories and from February 2011 on. Categories weren't changed in 2011, they were in 2010, but voting was still high.
The graph follows what I would expect to a point. A brief increase in participation and then a dip to a leveling off point. Except the leveling off is just continuing as a downward trend. So where are all the participants going?
