Was there a bot nuke?

2007 scape's population has dropped dramatically, is that because of a bot nuke or just because the random's ids have been changed so nobody's botting?

I haven't seen the population to drop really or if it did its due to inactivity as 07 is starting to lose inttrest

Many bots have been banned, but not a "nuke" as to speak.

The most recent update screwed with a lot of the functions of some common bots, I guess the developers haven't gotten around to fixing them just yet.

Neither.
Each time Runescape updates the bots need to update their hooks, sometimes this takes a while, and so during this time no bots work for a day or so.
The hooks for most bots have now been updated and most are working just fine.
