Who do you blame for the decline of the Night's Watch?

Areys going crazy did not help and Robert was to busy drinking and whoring to care about it. Also he was probably upset that he could not go after the last Targaryen still in the Seven Kingdoms. Mormont must also take some of the blame. He spends a lot time pleading with Tyrion for help and support when Robert and a good chunk of his court was in Winterfell. He only sent one man down to represent the Night's Watch. He should have went himself and most of the top commanders and Donal Noye down to talk to him and the court and try to recruit third sons and other unwanted moths to feed. It got a rep as a place of rapist and thieves, Mormont should have fought that by sending his best men there.

I think the long summer and the years without a significant threat had alto t odo wit hit. That added to the reputation brought by sending the prisoners to the wall made it seem beneath most families to even send a third son.
