The healthiest thing to do at this moment is to look at it and learn from it. If you're part of the server still and want to keep it going, then go for it with an honest and realistic point of view. If you're done with it and still yearn for something more in the roleplay world of SA-MP go out there and make it happen. HZ:RP is a merge of those two servers, nICe has an amazing single player gamemode that deserves some real love, Red County Roleplay is still kicking and consistently providing the same quality it's been giving over the years, and even I got invited to help prop up a roleplay server. Alternatively /you/ could just make something!
If you're one of the people who are just done, and scorned by it all and just here stuck upset..well then ya just can't do that. It's not healthy. Lord knows I'm not going to have the nicest responses if you were to bring up LS-RP to me but I'm not going to sit in a topic for this long going endlessly on about them like this. Kye can't ban them because they're mean and judging from the staff's reactions they don't really care so you pretty much got your answer towards your criticisms. Do you want an endless war or do you come to this mod to enjoy yourself?
If the latter, then as I said earlier just think about what you want right now and just go for it. This mod is still full of many opportunities, don't be blinded by one just because it's popular.

It's not dying but it isn't growing that much either. You have to ignore everything on that graph from about Aug 2016 to Oct 2017 since there were about 10-15k of fake player servers. Since they were on the internet list and the internet list was disabled in the client, I didn't worry about dealing with them.
When we talk about sa-mp player numbers going down, we're talking about English role play servers since those are the ones we play (or did play) on. SA-MP's story in general is a different one. Some stunt servers have actually grown in the last year, while cops and robbers are down slightly.

I see, so you're against open sourcing it because you're scared the community SA-MP has built here, is not valuable enough for players to stay?
Open sourcing is injecting new blood into old veins, if the only reason you're not for open-sourcing is because you're scared of competition, you're not really in it for the right reasons.

Why is everybody so scared of the community "splitting up" ?? That isn't how it works. If someone forks SA-MP and makes a better version and people move to it, so what? That's how life is supposed to work and it's EXACTLY what open source is designed for.
The community isn't going to just disappear to the next person to drop a version of SA-MP unless it benefits them, but if it does, that's a good thing. Evolution. Survival of the fittest.
SA-MP is old, yes, all the more reason to inject some life into it.
