It is really sad to see dead mods out here. Nearly every game has a dead mod. It is really understandable for others to give up due to real life, but please, don't give up because of lack of popularity, support, etc. Treat your mod like it's a project, a hobby, enjoy it. Who knows, a simple hobby may turn into something great.
