SA-MP 0.2 Released! (posted by BrainToad)
After the long wait, SA:MP version 0.2 has finally been publicly released! You can download 0.2 from the SA:MP download page.
However, Chillpoint has not yet made the move to 0.2. Our master scripter and hoster, xxx is planning on switching as soon as possible, but it may first go up just to allow 0.2 players in, and the new features will come in as xxx completes the scripting. So if you wish to play Chillpoint for the time being, please use version 0.1b.
Thanks to the SA:MP team for releasing this new version.
Enjoy
IMPORTANT NOTICE: SA-MP has released new server and client files, to get the new client files, please visit http://sa-mp.com/download.cml
UPDATE: Chillpoint is now running .2, come check out the script!

yay! (posted by xxx)
From what i can tell so far... The line got disconnected by isp. This then caused SAMP to stick in an evil loop and eat up all the memory, and bang server was doomed :p
But, this gave me a good opportunity to clean all the computers here and also to install some more badly needed memory into the server box yay :p
It should all be up and running soon, I'm putting everything in it's place as we speak.

boring... (posted by xxx)
Join syndicate and you'll "auto" become an admin!..
... Yeah right!
What the *peep*? Why are you guys even wasting time on this? And for how long?!
Now I’ve been forced to take the time away from coding just to write this frankly stupid explanation on what is really going on, or has been.
The fact of the matter is that all current administrators have become this by HELPING in some way or another. What gang or anything else of that nature has absolutely nothing to do with it. Also know that many of the newly recruited administrators were suggested long before they joined any gang. It just took some time to make it happen.
I strongly urge all you who are crying about others being administrators to instead do something useful and maybe even become one? Things are so much simpler this way :)

Server up again! (posted by congested)
Server is up and running again, please enjoy and thanks for your patience!
Yesterday: The server is currently down. Be patient as we try to resolve the problem.
More information: We can now confirm that the server was attacked and will be down while xxx investigates what happend and how bad it was for the server. Please be patient.
xxx: Ok issue is looked over ;) However, I need to update the script and I’m unfortunately in the middle of editing. I must finish and test the work I’ve started and only then will I be able to start the server again. This will probably take a couple of hours to complete but we don’t have a choice.

Multiple accounts (posted by congested)
It has come to the attention of several admins that many users have used multiple accounts recently. This is both on the server and the forums. Do not do this please. It creates more work for admins and is against the rules. You should only have one forum account and if the forum account name is different than your in-game name you must put your in-game name in your signature. Duplicate accounts could potentially be banned/deleted without notice.
Thank you.
Stay up to date with the current rules.

There was a lot of entires for the first week of this contest and that makes me happy, good to see so many people participate. With so many entries it was really hard to pick any winners, as most of your screenshots were all quite interesting, funny, and awesome.
And our winner is Sotamuumi with his "I Could Use a Joint"!
Congratulations to Sota!
