They are still subscribed. I don't know about other readers, but in my google reader I am subscribed to a blog, whether or not I am actually using my reader, until I unsubscribe. But, as long as I am subscribed, my reader should be communicating that subscribership to feed reader. Today, I am here because all of my email subscribers disappeared. I feel better knowing tha this has happened to other people (@m J Maddox) and that this is only temporary.

I figure this is down to people who only access the site at the office through feed reader software or browser live bookmarks. As they are not using their work computer at the weekend, these machines don't make requests for the feed, and so they drop off the radar. I always see a drop in numbers at the weekend.

I'd seen some other posts suggesting bloglines did a purge of inactive users, or similar. Here are a couple screenshots showing my high: http://img.skitch.com/20081018-ekix38sraau5tsxfcsd5jc3947.jpg and then the very next day with the bloglines count way down (and staying down): http://img.skitch.com/20081018-r11urm7q8rw6d951edmxc9p9n8.jpg Interesting, with my recent drop it was 100% bloglines readers that disappeared.
