but shouldn't that mean a global drop in popularity of all custom games?

^possibly not updated yet
Not really, since you can choose which lobby you join. If there's no one in ranked, I leave the lobby and join custom.
Also could this be possibly due to a bug? I find that the lobbies for mafia fill up a lot faster than the games around it, yet it is still falling in popularity.
Spoiler : :
Well mafia is back up to #22 in the most played list so i see no reason why it cant crack top 10 again soon

/ban
I am finding the new mode very fun and i hope it stays for a long time.
I have a feeling that the drop in rankings has more to do with the temp ban than the new mode, though the new mode may have made it take a longer time to recover from that.
The drop was because Blizzard's shitty popularity counter ignored any games from Custom and only counted Ranked. I fixed it so it instead ignores Ranked and only counts Custom.

typical of blizzard, can't really blame them tho.
Spoiler : FM History :
Blizzard doesn't exist. They imploded in 2008.
How do you explain H.O.T.S?

Well, a couple of thoughts on the subject :
1.The huge popularity bump that came from the Pomf & Thud video probably ended now, and it made Mafia immensely popular in Europe for some weeks - and french players immensely hated too. Even if Thud made a new comment about Mafia on the livestream of the MLG today, so there may be another french assault on the game in the next days (around 7000 viewers when he said it).
2.Guild Wars 2 is out. I know at least one experienced player (Ori) that is gonna spend 28 hours a day on it. The Mafia community isn't your average RTS community, maybe there is more "RPers" in it, and a big game like GW2 may influence the number of games.
3.Even if I have to wait to play now, especially in ranked...games are so great that I really don't care. Also, "When you go rank, you can't go back". I think Ranked is gonna be more and more popular, and make more and more people try it. People ready to wait up to 15 minutes for a real Mafia game anyway.
I never thought Guild Wars was any good. . .
It's been declining since patch 1.5, but it's been dropping fast recently:

The truth.
This community will not die now.
Within a while it will get back on top of the list again.
