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.

That argument is actually fairly stupid if you look at it from Kalcor's point of view. Why would you deliberately release the source of your mod so someone else can take the "throne" from you? That's incredibly illogical. If it's truly survival of the fittest, then Kalcor would do well keeping the source private until the end of the time. That way there's no potential for competition at all. Survival of the fittest, after all.

I didn't know developing SA-MP was my job. I wasn't speaking for anyone either, I was simply pointing out a flaw in your open source argument. Personally, I have no opinion on whether SA-MP should be open source or not.

Because calling someone a moron is such an offensive thing to do. It's just a subjective point of view.

I was really surprised when I launched SAMP a few weeks ago to see the lack of players on the server. At the same time however, I’m not really surprised that the server’s gone to shit. Pretty much every SAMP RP server I’ve come across without fail the admins are always egotistical narcissistic bullied nerds (or paedophiles) who get power mad because they can jail, kick, and ban people on a server.
LSRP players take shit way too seriously, especially police officers. I can’t tell you the amount of times people say ‘see you on forums’ to threaten people into doing things because they want situations to go their way 100%.
Not to mention, if you have any form of genuine critique to address on their forums, your thread will be moved to a hidden area or locked because the entire moderator/admin community just becomes an echo chamber of what they want to hear, this applies to admins, police, and other factions too.
LSRP police are also really notorious for using undetectable CLEO wallhacks as well. Try to escape in a fast car, you won’t succeed. Try to escape on a fast bike, and you’ll have a much bigger success rate because you’ll be able to get out of their view due to draw distance. It wouldn’t surprise me if they had admins spectate people either to top it off.
Oh well, I'm sure another decent RP server that doesn't have diabolical admins will come along one of these days if SAMP playerbase is still active within years to come.

RP get's boring after a while, and there's only so much you can roleplay without being completely bored or having already done it before.

LS-RP just launched their server on the 0.3.8 RC version, I've seen it reach over 230 players an hour after upgrading! Good job guys!
Custom skins and objects will surely keep LS-RP alive and kicking for a long time.

The same story happens here like San Andreas RP had split into two communities long time ago - NG:RP. And here now LS-RP splits.

Don't be so stuck up - they are both roleplay servers, just very different in levels enforced. He means that the branches will gain players, original staff not working hard enough to maintain the playerbase and branches working twice as hard in development for the players that are sick of the original server.
