Perl's Quiz of the Week has definitely suffered from this problem more 
than once in the past.  Its latest reincarnation relies solely on fan 
support and it seems to be doing better in that form.

I just fetched Ruby Talk's active members list and got 1,100 names.  If 
all those people send in a single quiz, we can run for a little over 21 
years.  I think it would take very little effort to make this great if 
we get behind it as a community.

I promise to do my best to make the quiz worthwhile.  Eventually though 
I'll do something silly like go on vacation.  You can help with that.  
You're part of this 21 year run amounts to just a single submission:

rubyquiz@grayproductions.net

This has been a public service announcement.  Support your local Ruby 
Quiz.  ;)
