The decrease in player count is understandable. The server has been stagnant. Without significant updates, the only thing that will keep the server alive and give the server increase in player count are the administrator's orchestrated events. Fact. The developers are inactive at the moment. Without them littlewhitey's will continue to be as is today. I'm personally happy for other servers with increasing player counts as it gives the impression that VC-MP is not only about littlewhitey's anymore.
Other than that, we should not be butthurt with that thread. It's the truth but as Noori said, servers come and go and littlewhitey's will always be here. (The same littlewhitey's that we know for years lololol)
