State of the Site June 2012

[daedaelus]

Over the course of the last few weeks we have been experiencing DDOS attacks. Originally we had purchased more hardware but understand that our finances only go so far. Now at this time i will not be releasing who it is although some of you already know whos doing it. LCPDFR is also experiencing the same issues and blames us for it. We have not and do not have the capability to DDOS GPM owns 1 main server and thats this one. If we ddosed on it we would only be hurting ourselves. Also every time we got DDOSed LCPDFR did not get DDOSed and soon as the attack stopped on us LCPDFR got DDOSed so its obviously someone trying to start a fight.

Regardless of this we have decided to take GPM in a new direction, for years we have had SA-MP servers and other communities spawn from or partner with GPM and this has made it so we are not "neutral" in the multi-player world causing bad blood between people. At this time GPM is no longer going to be partners with any "shoulder" communities in the interest of neutrality and peace. I have given P:LA to the developers and admins of it to still run it but they will be only working from http://project-la.com/ (http://project-la.com/index.php) GPM is no longer in control of this community it now operates as its own. I do ask you all not to judge this community based on this political change and in no way shape or form should you judge this community just because it does not have a link on GPM. It is ran by the same staff and is just a different server. To learn more about that visit their site.

So whats next for GPM? We need to focus less on forums and drama and more on downloads and mods. Since Christmas there has been a secrete war in the back-end of the GTA communities over fighting for SA-MP populations or who gets more downloads. I want to end this conflict once and for all. To be the bigger man in this i want to apologize to anyone that feels i have done them wrong or that we have had a falling out with. We can dwell on the past for the rest of our lives or we can move on. In the coming days i will be opening up a email account for those banned to appeal there ban and resolve the problem. I also will be glad to meet with anyone via VOIP (aka ts) to resolve the problem. I have picked (nightmare) to organize this as he has close ties with both sides of the conflicts.

Regardless of people that have issues with GPM there is one undeniable truth and that is we have a very large collection of mods that only hurts the community if was to go away abruptly. Over the course of the next few months we will be focusing more on downloads and mods than community aspects. Im hoping to make this site more and more like GPM classic was for those that remember that far back. People want mods and downloads and the biggest task is going to be cleaning up the download section to make sure all mods have pictures and broken links are removed. I also want to bring back developer studios and for user submitted mods i want to organize our downloads by Country > State > and start correcting bad name tags such as CHP CVPI to 2003 California Highway Patrol Crown Victoria which will make it easier to decide a search as 3 letter keywords do not show up well in indexing.

As for staff we have decided to re-organize staff and rethink policies how our staff are to approach a situation. In the past we have been criticized by our staff being as the **** SS and i really do want to change that and make it more professional. This also will include re-writing our TOS to be more understandable and more clear to define rules of GPM so that rules are defined by paper and not by the opinion of one staff member.

In closing i hope that those ddosing us read this and know that i was willing to sell the site and i was also willing to close it down but as i was several members came to me and wanted me to at least keep the downloads up which more or less leads me back to the direction the site will be going in over the course of the next few months. I hope those that still have beef with me or other members of the remaining staff try to resolve it peacefully and like adults. Contact info regarding this will be coming soon as we sort the server out.

[namindu450]

Well said Scott and this all started just becouse of a game i see no point in fighting over this it not worth it. Also jsut want to said if you make another email so any one who is ddossing us or has a problem can just send a email just to let us know why you have a problem with us.

But get real this is all over a game.

Anyone who wants to contact me for a unban appeal can send me an email at tyler@gtapolicemods.com and i will set up a meeting to resolve any and all issues.

[Dhruv]

About time we reconsider TOS.I had a feeling it needs to be revised.
So,if GPMs gonna start all fresh and neutral,I hope everything will be quiet and peaceful just like the classic GPM.

Wishing for the best,
Dhruv

[Officer32]

Seems like a good idea. It comes down to keeping GPM alive at the end of the day. I'm proud of what people have accomplished on the SAMP server, but I know that if I had to choose between Project: Los Angeles or GPM, I'd choose GPM in a flash. Good luck to all.

[pwnapple]

I must advise looking into this software if DDoS is an issue....

https://www.cloudflare.com/

[daedaelus]

Cloudflare does not do anything its a joke really, anyone can obtain a direct IP if they have common sense and there are already cloudflare resolve ip tools. Its as simple as ddosing port 80 with the direct IP.

[firefighter101]

Hey all, its been an awful long time since I've said anything on the forums here...

I'm not here to start anything either, I just wanted to address you Scott, directly. I will be the first to admit that I have started my fair share of BS in the past. For that I apologize and I concur with your statement. GPM used to be the place where everybody could share, help create, and showcase their mods... regardless of what community they were a part of.

I just wanted to say congratulations on being the better man and doing the right thing for everybody Scott, good on ya.

[daedaelus]

eh they are all having fun no reason to spoil it

I hate when drama boys say 'This thread is going downhill", just leave it, if they're not ripping eachother up or anything like that let them have their fun.

Fair enough

[Computim]

Anyone visiting the site for the first time isn't going to know that though. Everyone here probably realizes it, but the internet keeps things for years, and when we all get arrested in 20 years by the internet police for surfing while intoxicated don't say you weren't warned :;;D:

Just remember the atmosphere is set by the senior members, and driving a front-page thread about professionalism further off topic than a drunk monkey on a golf cart doesn't help haha.

[ltstern]

Good original posting. Me being accused several times of theft and whatnot by admins has gotten ridiculous. I have several mods that are going to stay unreleased because of the **** SS mentality. Regardless of people liking certain mods or not, that type of controlling behavior stifles creativity and doesn't create a good environment. It should be the site owner that makes the call whether to host something or not.

These kids that start internet wars because someone pooped on their parade: go work for the government, China is attacking our government and economic infrastructure on a daily bases

If I were you daedaulus I would just disable the forum feature, people spout outta their butts too much

Never compare our staff with nazis again or you will be getting banned for severe insult towards our staff.
The site owner could theoretically accept all mod uploads but that would take way too much time, that is the reason why we have hired staff
to do It. If you feel a staff member has done wrong you can report to me directly.

But please don't compare us with Nazis, noone on GPM will ever be killing people because of their religion, race or opinions.

[RoTaToR]

Look mike, I don't intend this as insulting the staff or you.. But there are a few staff memebers who always shout "THE FUHRER!! THE FUHRER!!" and insist on sending me to a concentration camp. There's a reason Scott put this in the original post, and I'm quite sick of it too. Why do you think I'm not going back in that TS?

I agree with Zach, there is a point where it is funny, but then there's a point to where it's old, and extremely annoying. Call me a Maple Lovin' Seal F*ckin' Beaver Cuttin' Canadian, sure, I'll have a laugh, but when you use the same old joke everyday, it gets really mundane, and just f*cking annoying.

@ltstern (http://gtapolicemods.com/member.php?538-ltstern)

Everyone else was able to let the past go including LCPDFR the only admins on this site are ME, bxbugs123, tren and mike the rest are all developers. A **** mentality would be to ban you now but we haven't. However if you keep insulting staff i will if your ****** then fine dont come to the site nobody forces you to come it is YOUR choice. If you have been wronged in the past well im sorry but i did say that in my post. Let it go man enjoy yourself and if your going to be mad all your life your going to get a ulcer.

Also for the record there are no admins on this site that are under the age of 18 half of us are over 23.

scott said in the first post about a burying the hatchet and creating a fresh start and the posts are doing exactly that, having a laugh and renewing and strengthening friendships and just making people happy so in my eyes it is still right on track

A serious drunk walked into a bar and, after staring for some time at the only woman seated at the bar, walked over to her and kissed her. She jumped up and slapped him silly. He immediately apologized and explained, "I'm sorry. I thought you were my wife. You look exactly like her."

"Why you worthless, insufferable, wretched, no good drunk!" she screamed.

"Funny," he muttered, "you even sound exactly like her."
