Before these new forums there were numbers closer to 100 Many people have decided that the new forums are just not worth using, they have gone to other places that will actually cater to their needs and wants like EnWorld for D&D or MTG(something) for MTG players. In other words WotC is hemorrhaging fans because once again they were thinking with their wallets and looking for a 'quick' fix rather than something that would last.

But I suspect the most prominent reason for what you observed is this: Now that 4e D&D General is not the first forum on the list, the only people heading there are the ones that specifically want D&D General. We've had only two or three "doesn't belong here" threads in General all week, compared to the normal five or six a day we used to have. Traffic on my other frequented threads is NOT reduced nearly as much as General.
