First off, I think hackers are low life scum. They love to get attention and have fun by ruining fun for many, many people.
I started my own SA:MP clan in May and it did very very well we had a full server everyday and had 55 clan members and had a very good script but a few events caused us to temporarily close it while me and my co-leader worked on a better script and redo it but we will still come back as planned but we will have to host it ourselves as littlewhitey, the owner of gta-host.com who hosted us in the past may shut down GTA-Host because most of his business came from SA:MP servers but the message also says that SA:MP may be restarted by a few people from the former development team
