Bump.
The community will only build more cliques, as recruitment will primarily be via friends of existing members, if we are not visible to players of SA:MP.
In addition, Julio did a poll on this last year and not an insignificant portion of players were recruited via the Official tab on the SA:MP client. That doesnt even include the pyramid of recruitment which occurs as those new players start telling their friends.
Fresh views, fresh faces and and some publicity can only be a good thing, plus with the turnover that all servers have, inevitability dictates we will shrink as a community if we aren't accessible to a wider group.
San Andreas may be old now, but we aren't helping ourselves
