Yeah, practically that was the idea of the community.multitheftauto.com (mtabeta.com), and we're working on it at the moment, probably the only reason the stats system wasn't released to the pupblic is that it's pretty insecure and we could not trust anyone but, yeah, perfectly it should collect stats from any user whereever he plays, also it's planned for the community center to give more support for user scripts. Actually you can already get any info about the mtabeta.com groups, list it's users and whatever with scripts from your mta server, it's just not yet documented anywhere. The whole system is still in development and we keep improving it to keep the interest of users, as you see we even tried to support different languages on the website, but still it needs a lot of testing cause it has to keep secure. About friends list, yeah, that's a nice idea and we have already discussed that, it will be added in the very near future and will have some 'open access' for any user scripts to allow flexebilty. How about forum, we're going to do signatures stuff, here's a preview: clicky
So, yeah, that's all we're moving to, hope you like it and any suggestions are accepted
