Seeing as we've been around for at least half a decade or more (man!) I got to wondering. It could be at least five years between one episode being created and someone continuing it.
I wonder if it's even possible to find the largest gap.
Time between parent and child episodes

All the episodes are dated, so it should be pretty easy to extract all the dates and do some simple calculations. It could even be done from 'outside' working with the web pages, but would probably be better done as an 'internal' job with direct access to the database.
And then you could use a similar method to find the oldest unfinished episode and break the record!

BTW, my latest addition to the Quest looks like a pretty good candidate. Its parent was written in October 2000!
