I'd genuinely love to hear a response from what he said from Management and whoever's decision it was to move to :V. LS:RP isn't and wasn't declining due to :V being a new thing, the statistics are there - SAMP, even if it's discontinued, was still progressing. The issue? The issue is straight, the community fell out of touch and the faith in once a staff team so majestic and elite no one wanted to step a foot in the wrong and miss out on what once used to be a hotspot, LS:RP.
I don't, and still don't have faith in the way things are ran on here. I think the staff team / management are way out of their depths, specially seniors. People who is somewhat still in charge yet is at fault for the decline of LS:RP SAMP. It's actually humorous how people who still try to make a positive effect(Plannit + FM) yet are side by side with dude who don't have the slightest idea what is needed and required from certain positions within this community. The same management is still running this server and couldn't even manage to bring out a GTA:V server without delays and false promises -- suddenly, the SA:MP servers back and now its all back to normal? I'd be shocked if MMartin still communicates, feels like we've even gone downhill from the days when Davis and Kane was pulled in for development and even did more than MMartin has done.
If the development and server owner can't even release and be genuine with their releases dates, how else is anything gonna push forward? Genuinely.
