As the title states, how was your first time owning a samp server?

My first time was back around let's say 2014 ish barely knew what I was doing didn't even know how to script or maintain a stable admin team hell I didn't even know how to fully control a teamspeak server.. We reached about 15 playerbase using a buggy ass script, but of course all good times comes to a end after two months up-time I decided to close the community down due to the lack of experience.( I just noticed I didn't mention what type of server it was, it was Roleplay).

Well i had success with Trap Roleplay with my friend xBrianx but IRL problems came and we had to close it. We reached like 25 pb everyday

First experience?

Probably back in 2011 when I had my first go on running a roleplay community. Before anything I researched a lot, looked how different places are running and connected it with how I wanted it to be ran.

It was by far most interesting experience ever I had experienced and continued on running others until "life" said other wise. Many abandoned projects of mine that I loved to see be alive but there are boundaries that one can get close to.
You get to learn a lot by leading a community, especially leadership, multi-tasking, problem solving and other social skills but you get to learn a lot of awful shit regarding people and their intentions. Power hunger, jealousy and hatred.

By far I as a old timer I can say.
If you do want to run a community, do it. You won't regret it, but do it only if you are sane enough to continue it.
