Realistically, without the massive Russian player base sa-mp may have shut down already. I expected it to die off every year since about 2009. The hosted list came online in 2010, and it was added because server owners requested it. It\'s really a stretch for you to say you\'re my client because some Russian server is on the hosted list. You probably look at sa-mp as being one big blob: the client, the server, the lists, the wiki, the hosted tab. But all of these services are seperate. The client and server can run with this website, server lists or the forum. If I shut down this forum, it wouldn\'t have any immediate effects on sa-mp, only long term effects. Same with the server lists.

What are you trying to say here? We pay for the tab, I have, for months, how am I not a client? Just because there are larger clients out there, the Russians, how does that make me less of a client? What kind of business strategy is that.


Are you stating you want SA-MP to die? You\'re done? Fine, then if you honestly feel like that you should put an end to it, then do so. It sounds like this place is nothing but a nuissance to you. But you won\'t, since it\'s bringing you income. It sounds like you feel like you\'ve done enough, but there\'s always room for improvement.


Or just end things with a truely final version. Invest your last amount of effort you\'re willing to spend on the mod and finish it and turn it into a complete final project, you atleast owe the community.


Honestly, I\'d be extremely happy with this community if I were you. It\'s something you put together, it has brought you money, joy, even though it just started of as a way to enjoy time with others... If I were you, I\'d be forever grateful to every single player that has played this mod, since we made your vision come true. You wouldn\'t have reached what you\'ve reached so far, without us. SA-MP has been incredibly great for your C.V. too, I assume. Also, guess what, business opportunities come out of nowhere and that\'s what has struck you, and you handled it properly (I guess?), until imo now.


I\'ll leave it at this, hopefully it got through even a little bit.
