QOTWOT has been in a slow decline ever since it was first created. Back before QOTW and QOTWOT split, the OT regulars used to use the QOTW replies to chat, and as more and more people joined, their chatting started taking over the QOTW, so Rob created QOTWOT and herded the chatters there. This of course meant that the QOTW'ers who have not discovered QOTWOT did not get to see the QOTWOT'ers chat on QOTW, and because OT isn't so easy to find, they mostly stuck to QOTW. Also, many of the QOTWOT' regulars initially were either unemployed or had jobs where they hardly did any work. Many of them have since moved on and done something more productive (and also, more and more workplaces are clamping down on Internet usage).

Maybe QOTW and QOTWOT should be merged for a while so the chatting gathers more recruits.
