Off Topic Discussion / Thinking about closing down the forum

« on: October 08, 2020, 10:08:22 am »

The emails are broken and because it's hosted on Google Cloud I'd need to use a 3rd party to act as a proxy host. This is no great issue as they're free for typical usage, but to be honest it's just sort of brought back up a question I have: Is there any point in these forums?

I'm thinking about taking them down, closing the VPS that hosts them, and redirecting the URL to the Discord. I'd miss the nostalgia of the forum, but then I often think nostalgia for this place isn't a great thing... thoughts anybody?

Off Topic Discussion / If you could have RRP or Cypher back up for 1 day, which would it be?

« on: October 13, 2019, 10:37:13 am »

I often daydream about putting the server back online for a day, and when I think about it I'm always torn between 2 things:

1. RRP is by far the most "loved" server and script, with a (once) bigger and more loyal community of die hard fans
2. CRPG was some of the most fun I've ever had whilst gaming, and is more of a "play for a day" game than RRP

I am by no means saying either are coming back up (it would take a lot of work to get CRPG in particular back online), but it's something that I've often though about.

Off Topic Discussion / Does anyone remember...

« on: September 12, 2019, 10:54:04 am »

... that time we had a competition where we gave everyone 10,000 health and unlimited grenades, and then had a competition to parkour between buildings using the blast from the grenades? I'm not even sure whether it was on RRP or Pug's, but I remember it being hella fun. It was probably late one night when very few people were online.

I got an email that my Photobucket account was changing and it prompted me to see what on earth was on it, only to end up on a SA:MP nostalgia trip.

Off Topic Discussion / It's almost been a year...

« on: June 29, 2017, 03:01:32 pm »

...since I last updated that news thing at the top.

Any suggestions for what I should change it to on the 6th? A highly offensive joke? Links to some hardcore porn? Perhaps instructions on how to fold a t-shirt in just 2 seconds?

Off Topic Discussion / What next for the RRP forum?

« on: November 24, 2016, 09:02:53 am »

I'm curious as to what you all think. I currently pay a fairly small amount of money to keep the VPS active, and it has other purposes than RRP so I do have some incentive to keep it online, so I'm not financially motived to turn off the thing. But honestly this forum just makes me kind of sad, I can't help but remember all the good times every time I come on it, even though they simply don't exist any more. That said, if I did turn it off, I would lost contact with all of you.

So what do you think should become of the RRP forum folks? Those of you left anyway!

Off Topic Discussion / International RRP meetup

« on: October 12, 2015, 01:06:12 pm »

So this weekend me and Brennan were hanging out in Liverpool drinking far too much of far too many different thing (we both paid for it yesterday...) and said we'd like to go away somewhere in the next few months, maybe explore a new city (most likely European). Anyway we also discussed how much better it is when you're with someone who knows the area, so we figured maybe we should ask on here.

So, anybody here live anywhere interesting (preferably typical tourist places; Berlin, Amsterdam, Bruges etc.) and fancy meeting up some time in the next few months? Likewise, if anybody from any non-interesting places wants to come they're more than welcome

Off Topic Discussion / So uhh...

« on: May 08, 2015, 02:18:20 pm »

I was feeling nostalgic... to solve it, I first did this (note the last date I logged in):

Surprisingly, it started fine, so I checked an old friend:

Another surprise, it really works! Rather than mess around updating the client and server, I just thought I'd see if it actually let me play (included the date...):
