Has GTS been shutdown for 4th and 5th generation?
I've been trying to use GTS on my Pokemon Diamond, but it never works anymore. It says that the software isn't compatible or something like that and some of my friends have been telling me that GTS has been removed from 4th and 5th gen.
So is it removed or am I doing something wrong?

Yep, all WiFi things (so inluding GTS) from 4th and 5th gen are removed. Official announcement by Nintendo said:

Answer 2
Actually, following an exciting change (I have no idea how this happened) GTS appears to be back for (all?) previous games. Just posted through SoulSilver a global trade offering a Beedrill (name: HelloThere holding a message for anyone still out there) for any old Rattata just to see if anyone else can see it. Was able to access it using the following video:
Hope to see some more folks soon.
