The community of VC-MP was non-existent in comparison to SA-MP. SA-MP has some of the best devs playing on it's servers. Also MTA:SA is a prime example of how open sourcing works to advance a dated code base.

I joined SA-MP in 2007 and the first server I ever played on was LS-RP, it was a dream come true for me to play GTA:SA online. At the time I was playing on a laptop with my phone connected to it running GPRS connection which I paid my PAYG provider Ј1 a day for unlimited usage (I'm in the UK). At the time, GPRS was the only connection out, EDGE was making it's way forth but we didn't have coverage yet. So it was hard for me to get decent connection and I got kicked a lot, but then 3G came out and I got a better phone and that was a more stable connection. (I didn't have home internet my family couldn't afford it)

But yeah, LS-RP was awesome, I had some great times there I left in 2009 to go to DM and went to LVP.
