Seriously, it's been gone for a long while and I still have not found a post about it on the forums with a concrete answer to why it isn't running anymore. It is fun tpe and it benefits anyone. Let's say the main organizer can't do it anymore. I am sure there are still plenty of people who have the knowledge and time to pull off such projects, it also promotes asking people for help as sometimes when you can't find the right path to the answer one or more people can help lead you down the right path. It is a community project and promotes forum and discord activity more than for example writing these kinds of vhl articles. It is also a very fun way to learn about the VHL history if you are a new member who is trying to figure what happened before joining and in the early 2007 days

Basically, part of it was that Victor didn't want to do it anymore. Also, trivia answer sharing has become extremely common, with one or two people's work getting passed around to 90% of the community. There was no point in keeping it in its current format.

 

There have been discussions as to how to bring it back, and the best solution seems to be to put it on the portal in a question bank and give each person two random questions. This would prevent someone from having to run trivia manually, and would also give each person a different set of questions, to limit answer sharing.

 

However, putting trivia on the portal will take time, and the portal developers have other projects and tasks on their hands with more urgency and attention needed. It will be some time before trivia comes back, in my opinion.
