Is darkRp dying?

The GMod community sometimes looks down upon DarkRP as some form of cesspit, and I would partially agree with them. DarkRP itself is coded by a developer that has very little respect for the players he creates his gamemode for and even has an MOTD printed to console every time you join telling you that DarkRP is shit. This is further not helped by the fact that the DarkRP community is toxic and mainly fueled by people that want to be on a powertrip 24/7. However, even through all that, DarkRP and it's derivative gamemodes continue to go strong as one of the highest ranking (if not the highest) gamemodes that GMod has ever seen.
