I've been on the internet since mid-90's. I came out of the UFO/conspiracy crowd. Sites like abovetopsecret are older than Goggle. We're not big fans of internet censorship.
SA-MP was started in 2005. I'm too old to play SA-MP now. I don't want to be playing games on servers where everyone is younger than me. I keep this site online since people still want to play. The mod could be developed further but I have to rely on feedback from English server owners, and those servers aren't being developed as much anymore. GTA:SA is getting old. People tried to say I'm censoring like utube/goggle. The difference is that utube is hosting platform, and this is a private forum. The SA-MP forum is more like a utube channel. I support channel owners right to block any commenter or links they want. If you censor from the host level, it has a chilling effect on the entire internet. We were given permission by R* North to create MP mods for the GTA3 series. But I don't think anyone, including them, thought these mods could go on for so long. I think they'd prefer MP mods die off and players move over to GTA:O. That's why I'm not handing this mod over to someone else. SA-MP is on the home stretch. Everyone knows it. |
Like you said, no one can stop servers from running, not even you. So R* is not an issue.
If you really care about this, you could have posted a discussion first before doing whatever you want, and explain why do you really want to block it or remove the Screenshots / Videos board. Because after all, this community is ran by its members. You'll have to respect their opinions before yours. And I believe, someone would have provided a way much better solution than censorship.
The community aside, everyone knows SAMP is dying, but that doesn't mean you should abandon it, if you don't trust anyone else enough to let him maintain it, then you do it - at least before its completely dead like other GTA mp mods.
