I don't ever remember so many new users in past versions.

I think the delayed release date had the most to do with it. During the delay period you could see more & more people starting to post messages.
Added to that, the installed user base probably has been growing every year - perhaps not too visible to regular forum members during quiet periods.
As the game has grown - so has the complexity. I believe that more & more people (myself included) are utilizing the talent & generosity of the other forum members to help add depth & richness to the OOTP gaming experience.
