Hi,
I had got something, but after a cruel accident, I lost the contents of the whole hard disk. Now I don't even have the Jonne's and others' parting statements declaring that they leave PTP for Plan B.
A good place to start satisfying your nostalgic feelings is web.archive.org. Look for samp.truceco.com, ptpserver.com and ptpmp.net. It's a part of our history.
As the descendant of a librarian and as a member of a weird-ass family that keeps books and records that date back literally to the American colonies, I tend to also save things that I've documented as long as I can. I love looking through what I've kept, as well as what my ancestors kept decades and in some cases tens of decades ago. I feel your pain of losing something that isn't really replaceable-- though it is "just a game", for some of us it's been and continues to be a memorable escape. I was never much of a screenshot or Fraps person, partially because my computer sucked, but I do have a little collection of pictures and videos I've taken. I also have the parting statements of Jonne and Friauf (I don't know why I don't have Fimpen's) as saved webpages, but I'm not sure how to share them best.
I don't usually do this, but since I've enjoyed other players' old pictures in the past and may be among the few who have this shit,
here are mine. I've included some bonus pictures from the Plan B beta tests at the end. I think I have more pictures somewhere, but I'm on my third computer since I started playing, so things have gotten hidden among my files over the years.
I learned a lot of stunts from watching people from planes and from occasionally watching players perform them when I was an admin. I had several long videos that were mashed into the shorter video below; I think I may have (unfortunately) not realized their importance and deleted the originals to save disk space. I'll keep an eye out for them.
Check out some of the players and chat people: SoLoD, Tenshi, hittt, Tom_Riddle, Brian_Griffin (I'm 95% sure that he is [Hitman]Matthew, legendary flamer and person who changed his nickname every week), Fimpen, SK8TER, ferro, Nikola, RubberDuck, Da_Gangsta, Friauf, mrskull42, and probably others I'm missing.
Here's some generic gameplay:
Trying to survive in a Dodo (Chauffeur is my brother, and AlbanianGuy was a friend we made when we first started playing):
I have a bunch of other videos, but many of them are of bugs or weird shit happening, not really of gameplay. I'll probably post a few anyway, since they have old players in them on screen or in the chat (including Tenshi, Alexxx, ToMo and other [O.o] people, Mive75, Big_Wolf[NO], Tom_Riddle, among others).
