I agree with this. The "Useful Functions" topic used to be popular but new functions are posted every 5+ days now. Also no new activity in the discussion forum aswell. There was about 11,000 active members at the beginning of the year, which is now at 9,209 at the moment. People are moving on to newer things, as GTA:SA is a 10 year old game.

As for the contribution part, ideas for new includes are limited, since most things have been done already. Some scripters release things that have been done already (e.g. an INI reader, command processor). For instance, we don't need another INI reader if we have y_ini, which already supports tags and other attributes. Just find libraries that need improvement and throw in your code.

Nonetheless, it is disappointing to see Valhalla shut down. It was the place to go when you wanted some heavy RP. Even though guns were easily acquirable, the RP was still there and people didn't use them like crazy.
