Why the server is down.

[West.]

The server, as well as plenty of other populated servers out there, are down due to an exploit with SA-MP. I can assure you that the issue is being worked on.
More info can be found in THIS topic on the SA-MP forum.

Just so everyone knows, this issue is beyond our control and it's up to the SA:MP developers to fix. There's nothing we can do but wait until a fix, or a way to prevent it from happening.

Well that sucks :S

I say to copy the files, quickly make a new server and throw a lock on it. You can try it first to see what happens but I suggest that it won't be anything long-term.

That's actually kinda fucked

From what I read, random bots are joining and sending the servers CPU shit through the ceiling.

Well fuck me, I can't recall that anything like this has ever happened before... total samp apocalypse!

The SAMP developer Kalcor has released a patch and the server is currently being updated.

Lets hope it keeps them off for a while.
