I don't even know where to begin, but I'll try my best.
I was first introduced to MTA (GTA III) back in 2005 by an old school buddy of mine and after playing MTA for quite some time we discovered that their was a Vice City multiplayer modification (VC:MP) and proceeded to buy copies of VC and download the mod. We joined LW's server and spent a hell of a lot of time on there. We created a clan called [FS] but I can't remember what the clan was actually called. The clan didn't last long it was basically a private clan between my friend and I. I slowly started to get to know most of the regular players and the admins at the time and joined GTAForums as LW's server didn't have an official forum.
My friend and I soon joined [CP] (Cherry Poppers) and were both accepted as recruits, but then one morning around 5 when the server was empty, we joined LW's server as different aliases and threw grenades around the Vercetti mansion and flew cars around. Ultimately, Simon banned us both but after we apologized we were unbanned. I was about to finish school and move on to college so I stopped playing for a couple of months.
In 2006 I started playing again on LW's server and became very active. I befriened Hanney and eventually Hanney passed on a recommendation to the Admin Team and I was accepted as an Admin. This was the best thing that could of happened in my eyes. I was so happy to be accepted and started straight away. I dedicated the next couple of years solely to the server. I spent alot of days/nights and early mornings administrating the server.
As time passed many admins left the team and new admins were introduced including [DS]_Argos who invited me to join his clan, I accepted and started using the [DS]_ clan tag. I didn't stay too long in [DS]_ as being part of a clan wasn't really what I wanted to do at the time and so I left. I remained clanless for awhile before becoming friends with Smoke2jointS, Ophidian and oVeRdOse.
I soon found myself being invited to join DnA, I gladly accepted and took it upon myself to redesign the DnA forum with Smoke2joints operating the blog. It was great being part of DnA the first time around. We'd all join the server and have a great time.
Eventually in 2008, I decided it was time to branch out and join another clan. A clan which Shanto and Hanney had just created called KFJ (Killing For Justice). I joined and became Co-Leader along with Shanto and Hanney. I created the website and forum and maintained them accordingly. I didn't have much going in my life at this time apart from college so I had alot of time to spend on the clan. These were probably my best memories I have from VCMP. Managing my own clan and its website, having the freedom to create and do what I wanted and organize a clan which at the time was full renounced as one of the top clans due to its activity and members.
Killing For Justice was at the time, noticed as being one of the top clans, only accepting members who had vast experience. I am very pleased and proud that I was able to help out and manage such a fantastic clan. I was just finishing college at this point and moving on to a different course which stopped me from providing my full attention to KFJ. I can't recall the full reason why KFJ eventually closed however it was a very sad time.
In 2008 also I had a death in the family which caused me to stop playing for a very long time, I temporarily resigned from the LW admin team and focused on more important family related matters.
