How long has DarkRP been around?

[Mizore]

I've seen it since 2009 when I first started playing GMod. But when was the gamemode made?

If memory serves, I think it was coded in 2007.

[Curls]

if it means anything, it originated from Rick Dark who once ran Taco and Banana.

Started as "CrapRP" in Mid 2006, became DarkRP in Early 2007.

If so, then it should of stayed as CrapRP, because that's what it is, crap.

It works, the same can't be said for the alternative.

About as long as the iPhone, to which both products constantly claim new versions all the time with little to nothing new added :)

Yes.

Here's the story:

[quote]LightRP was created by Rick darkalonio. LightRP was sandbox with some added RP elements.
LightRP was released at the end of January 2007

DarkRP was created as a spoof of LightRP by Rickster, somewhere during the summer of 2007.
Note: There was a DarkRP in 2006, but that was an entirely different gamemode.

Rickster went to serve his country and went to Afghanistan. During that time, the following people updated DarkRP:
Picwizdan
Sibre
[GNC] Matt
PhilXYZ
Chromebolt A.K.A. Unib5 (STEAM_0:1:19045957)

In 2008, Unib5 was administrator on a DarkRP server called EuroRP, owned by Jiggu. FPtje frequently joined this server to prop kill en masse. While Jiggu loved watching the chaos unfold, Unib5 hated it and banned FPtje on sight. Since Jiggu kept unbanning FPtje, Unib5 felt powerless. In an attempt to stop FPtje, Unib5 put FPtje's favourite prop killing props (the locker and the sawblade) in the default blacklist of DarkRP in an update. This in turn enraged FPtje, as he swore to make an update in secret that would suddenly pop up and overthrow the established version. As a result, DarkRP 2.3.1 was released in December 2008. After a bit of a fight, FPtje became the official updater of DarkRP.[/quote]

Can you suggest anything better?

[Pantho]

[QUOTE=FPtje;42355231]Bullshit.

I meant no offence and you misunderstood.

I meant it's essentially the same gamemode, in terms of how it's played/RP sense. Just it gets quicker, prettier, smoother etc but it stays essentially the same.

You said little to nothing new was added to DarkRP, which is wrong. Take for instance the new f1 menu, the new f4 menu, the hitman menu I added in 2.4.3, the new mod system I added in 2.5.0.
