Not quite sure if people have stopped posting on topic because the thread has been derailed so much or if it has been derailed because the topic died.  In any case there is unlikely to be a difinitive answer to the question posed by the OP but it was interesting while it lasted.

 I nteresting to see where it goes now if it comes back on topic.

 

Most of the discussion in this thread has been off-topic.  We've discussed vendor problems, sites closing, competition from Daz/iClone, figure popularity...

The title of the thread asks a simple question; did the number of people actively using Poser peak at some point in time, and is it now decreasing?

This doesn't even distinguish between legitimate "buyers" and illegitimate "users".  It doesn't distinguish between people who always buy the most recent version vs. people still using Poser 3 or 4.

It's only asking if less people are using Poser (than in some other unspecified time, possibly 2002 or perhaps even 2012) and I maintain there's no accurate way to measure this, as we've never agreed on what the question means.
