By its very nature as a small continent, Colonies has very few players in comparison to any of the other islands.
I know, I play there--and I think you do too. The Colonies are special, due to the one turn a day, so I doubt they are going away.
I expect all these polls will reveal is where people are playing in the largest numbers already rather than any new insights.
Quite possibly. I probably should have made the poll a "choose two" poll, or possibly a "choose 1" with Dwilight excluded.
