State Of The Scene/3000 posts/Stop Spamming xerox

[xerox]

You've Come A Long Way Baby - Thats really what can be said in the time between 1000 worthless spam posts on this forum

It was june 2003 when i hit 2000, i mean back then 0.1 was even around, and yamm had just joined, now we are up to v 0.3 of mta in VC

May as well start back in jun - OMG was around, as was RMO, the VCK was strong and I dont even think the VCP had started yet, a few gangs were around keeping the place buzzing, until a few months later

MTA:VC 0.1 - when i first beta'd this my jaw dropped. Usless chat, buggy program which ran for 15 mins without crashing if you were lucky, and outta sync like there were only 12 hours in a day.... but it was MTA IN VC

This caught a LOT of peoples attention

At this time, the community went into a mini-boom, not seen since 0.3b, new gangs formed, such as SM, VCP etc with dedicated members etc.

0.2 came into place and then 0.2.2, the stunt mode was a godsend for those of us who wanted to perfect our trade without having tyres shot out (thanks bump), and gangs like ULK and KFC, PLASTA (Biggest not-really-a-gang gang ever!) started, along with the many other smaller gangs which I have had the pleasure of playing against.

As with many games, gangs come and go, but I am glad to see some smaller gangs still striving on, and some more established ones that have not died altogeather, but have finished rebuilding and are now as strong as ever.

BLASTA has increased its ranks to take in some of the newer vetrans who have proven themselves great leaders, and community members, its people like this, and the community in general which makes mta

As for gang politics, these last 8 or so months have been full of em. I wont bring up anything, but Im glad that some fueds have now died down into something more resembling the cold war =P (hey its a start people)

As for map mods, both gta:wo and multiplicity have come and gone, glad to see gta:wo made a release last year

As of late, gtat have finally made a release, which is great for the gta MP community in general, although its buggy as hell and there are some issues with it there is no reason it cant be improved upon

So from alt-f12 to auto-reconnects of the future, gta3mta 0.3b to gta:vc 0.3a, these months have been the busiest ever for MTA in general

The development of passenger code, the chat text box, stunt gamemodes, the fact that mta doesnt mess your VC SP game.... all these things have evolved over time.

Doubters, haters.... they have all come and gone. They always seem to post about 48 hours before a new release, and then come back a month later posting.

I would have gotten here sooner had it not been for an unnamed somebody deleting a certain thread... but I guess i definantly earnt the posts, and the last 500 have easily been the hardest to get

On a personal note, Its great to see the community getting stronger, I would like to see more active gangs, not just the established ones...and less spamming of those new threads as they need time to grow

On the matter of cheats/mods - DIE *ahem*, yeah.... I guess with any succesful games will come cheaters. Future releases will put a stopper on this, but they have really ruined the experience for some on a level. I guess a game's sucess can be judged on the amount of cheating done on it, so MTA is doing quite well

From game reviews, to coverdisks, to articles and interviews, MTA has been poking its head in and around the mainstream media with possibly more to come. I prefer mta to stay underground as the name will pretty much travel on its own, but I guess its really more a matter of whats good for the mod.

The future can only be better, as I have seen the way forward and *stop there xerox, this isnt a mass =)* yeah, ive seen samples of the work at hand and if you think mta is good now, youve seen NOTHING yet!

Thanks to blasta members, all the people who keep trying to make my stunt vid (we will get there yet) and numerous other people who don't need to be thanked cause they know I already have =p I have also noticed the % of the forum that accounts for my posts has halved... from about 10% to under 5, which is great; It shows the forum is growing, something I really want to see

heres to another 1000, and may it not take as ******* long as the last lot =P

btw - if your wondering why the above makes no sense, its cause I made it all up in about 5 minutes off the top of my head... you actually expect me to research this stuff =P

haha and we brag about our post counts

I'm right behind ya, unfortunatly bordering on a roll back

I think we need to edit Blastas first post, we own much more of the forums now I think

Congrats on 3000, and yes I have tried to honor the new threads and not spam them which is the current trend.

ok, we tried today, and not even most of the top 10 could convince him on IRC. I tried guys. Sorry . I guess we'll have to wait for someone to overcome his post count and bump him outta the top 10!

Then we own the top 10 posters!
