I wouldn't be putting in my free time if I didn't think it could succeed, obviously that's my opinion and others will have their own views which is perfectly valid. Martin is one of three in management, a lot of things which were solely one persons responsibility are now split. I know people are waiting for an "official" response from management and that is coming, it just takes time to go over things and discuss them. Simply not true but sure.

I've seen a few comments throughout the thread alluding to the fact that developers intentionally do not work on SA-MP and instead work on developing RAGE instead, I'm not sure where this has come from but it's not true at all. The development team are all volunteers, who do this in their spare time out of passion for the community and to see the persistent attacks on them is frankly very demotivating. There have also been comments that we should all just prioritise on SA-MP from a development standpoint, but it's not as simple as that. As Duco has alluded to previously PAWN is a very antiquated language that isn't well taught, if at all these days; coupled with the fact the SA-MP codebase goes all the way back to 2007, it is not a trivial matter to add even basic things. Speaking for myself, and Danut, we both joined the development team for RAGE; I personally have no knowledge of PAWN to assist with SA-MP, and I already spend the little free time I have developing alongside my other duties as a lead admin. Given all that, I think people don't realise how lucky they were when a developer like Cake was around who had the free time and knowledge to push out significant updates to SA-MP. Robstrap is the resident SA-MP guy these days, and he's been holiday for a little bit know, but I know from speaking to him he intends to continue his work developing SA-MP on his return. No matter your opinion on which platform you prefer, just be mindful of the time and effort people put in for free in their spare time; you might not agree, but they're the ones sacrificing their free time.

Senior Lead Tester @DadoJ returns

Again, like previously, the topic has devolved into a back and forth with names being thrown about in an inappropriate setting. I refer you all back to my message below, evidently there are issues from certain people's perspectives, so I look forward to receiving reports about them via the appropriate channels.

No one is above the rules and regulations laid out, there are processes to report staff members and they’re taken seriously. I would like to see the information that’s been collated when it’s ready.

This is why these threads don't last long, I've reviewed my logs from the conversation that evening and this is plainly false. This is not the place to address specific incidents as the conversation inevitably devolves into a back and forth like this.

I’ll repeat my message from the other thread, throwing around accusations on a post like this does nothing to solve any issues there might be. I encourage people to report via the proper mechanisms (contact faction leadership, contact HoLF, forum or staff reports) otherwise things will be missed. No matter what people may think, reports are taken seriously and addressed with the relevant people - but they need to be made. As Head of Legal Factions I’ve made numerous changes over the past few months, all from the feedback of community members.

The only thing I will say at the minute, before this devolves from an actual constructive conversation as it has in the past, is that making any claims of rule breaking on a thread like this does nothing. There are mechanisms to report rule breaking and other concerns with faction members, if people choose not to for whatever reason then issues will go unaddressed.

Well done everyone

Congrats people
