TL;DR;
this is just seasonal drop in site traffic due drop in bitcoin popularity
Long:
Trayber, problem with cheating/bots/etc (what is etc in this case?) was only with few players (possible same person behind usernames). Real players who play with real money and not register accounts just to bash admins and other players, do not have problems on the site.
Just an example: NaturalOrder8 in one of chats on btcontilt.com asked Weaver (support guy on the website) to go fuck himself after Weaver tried to resolve issue.... Great respect for Weaver's patience.. This kind of players will have "problems" on any website.
Just like before bitcoins skyrocketed, there is no a lot of traffic going on right now. That's why you see less players playing.
http://www.google.com/trends?q=bitcoin&ctab=0&geo=all&date=2011&sort=0Traffic dropped to April levels and my site is still first on google for bitcoin poker. As you can see, interest in bitcoins right now is 25% of what it was when site was "best poker site" =)
I bet dropped price of bitcoin also contributed into it - I've seen huge withdrawal requests, possible from players, who wanted to cash out their bitcoins..
