The issue is perception.
On a forum, only people with questions that rely adjudication post very often for 3.5, because most of the mechanics have been hashed out, and no one wants to keep answering those same questions for newer players.
With 4e, there is still the "how the &!#@ does this work?!" thing goin on, even with relatively experienced players. No one stops by to say "still playing 3.5, woo!" because it's not productive. Finding out that reach doesn't generally net you more AoOs in 4e, or that you can still force your own movement when immobilized, is productive. People are unsure and collaborative with the newer edition. For 3.5, most folks are content to play their game and occasionally share stories.
But 3.5 is here to stay. It's what I plan to pass on to my children when I have em.
