Please wake up management

The only reason I tried to help was because LVP has provided me with a lot of entertainment over the years. I started my original topic with this:

Some are partially correct in saying that it's an outdated game, but I bet if they were to see 5 of their friends online they wouldn't hesitate to login.

I don't have specific ideas, just a broad insight: the servers that are still "active" are objective-based. Sadly our active admins aren't developers and therefore can't do anything about it. I'm not blaming the developers, just trying to explain why things are the way they are.

My son Violax still playing SA-MP somewhere, made his own server I think, if you are looking for coders, I'd suggest looking him up. Everyone knows Violax for face value but he's mad intelligent and has strong work ethic when it comes to getting shit done. Me personally, I don't have time to get back into coding as much as I want to, sometimes I sit and think about opening pawno again but never get round to it.

Things you say are true, about the community. Maybe it would be time to open this forum as not just for SA-MP anymore, you know? Maybe have a concentration on a newer game and make a server for that? As well as keeping this one open, but you see what I mean right? I'm trying to think of an example but I can't lol. Like clans for instance, they have one forum, one community, but they have servers on a whole host of games?

The fact is SA-MP is pretty dated and while the server is the focus, you are right. The community is what made all those times we've had together fun and memorable. Look at me for example, I stopped playing the server years ago, yet have been fairly regular to the forums to catch up with people and lurk around, unfortunately nothing is here much any more to keep people here, which is what we need. To keep people here, on the forum. As long as we have the community we have the power to do anything else. With no community, there is no power. I'm sure many of the people that have played here in recent years have attempted to open their own server and failed, me included, why? Because the community isn't there. You can't magic a whole community of players, LVP has established this over so many years, a decade almost.

We need to act before it's too late.

EDIT: People with high influence over LVP such as Peter need to act with us. I'm glad to see you post in these topics, Peter. Maybe we still have a chance.
