Official date announced for the site to go back online

The site will now go back online on the 1st of January 2011 at midnight so watch out on the minute for the site to go live. The website is in great stand at the moment with most of the forum threads moved over from the existing forum. Thanks to everyone who has helped.

New forum will be embedded in site and old threads will be transfered

We will be embedding the new forum into site this time instead of hosting it on another domain name like previous times. We decided to do this to make it easier for people to navigate between pages.

Another thing which we have had alot of questions about is what will happen to all the old threads. We are in fact bringing in the the most present threads from the old forum so that you can continue the same discussions which you had previously.

Be aware of being banned if your hacking with USB on Black Ops, members have been banned

It may not come as a surprise to many but alot of members who have been hacking on Black Ops to raise to 15th Prestige have been banned numerous amounts of times.

I myself have been banned 3 times, once for boosting, the second time for boosting again and the third time for using the USB hack which allows you to get 50,000XP for each kill in a private match and then carry on the XP to your actual online campaign.

It is recommended that you do not do this as you will get banned and you will get reset like myself. Even though its up to each individual member what they do we dont recommend it. I spent 3 hours today online only to find myself being banned for a the 3rd time.

Now developing IV:MP server, we need your support so let us know if you want to help us

We are now in the middle of developing a IV:MP server currently called CM: Roleplay. The server will hopefully contain alot of functions and features alot like Crazy Bobs Cops and Robbers server on SAMP, something which we have an aspiration to immitate on IV:MP.

The server will hopefully have things like banks, hospitals and parking lotts where you can buy cars etc; although scripting for these things is hard and with a lack of scripting staff due to not attempting to do such things in the past we are asking for people who want to volunteer to help us in scripting.

If you would like to help us develop our server you can send us a message on Twitter and we will do a short interview on the phone. People who volunteer get to get great perks in doing so by accessing limited competitions and real live gaming events etc;.

New name formats to be used on website

When people signup to the website they can pick a name of their choice which will show up on the rest of the website to represent yourself. People have been picking odd names like ha870a which are unacceptable on the website.

From now on we would appreciate it if people could sign up to the site with their name in this format

JohnHDoe or MarthaJDickson

For people who are already signed up dont worry your name doesnt have to be changed but for new people who are signing up on the website its a must you use this format to keep an orderly fashion.

The reason why we want members to use this way of signing up is so that its easier for us to identify members by their full names rather than usernames.

If you dont use the correct format we will change the name for you.

Please note you dont have to use your proper name you can make one up, but we stress you use this way of signing up to make it easier to search for members. You can always include your CnR server username or anything else personal to yourself on your own profile.

New social network for our members

We have now made the website into a small social network which allows you to communicate with your friends as well as the ability to add each other, share videos and more. We hope you like the new site. Signup now at www.chingmafia.org

Brand new logo and update to site

We now have a new logo which will be used to signify our presence around the web along with some new updates to the website giving it a more detailed yet clean image. We hope you like the new changes.

Grand Theft Auto IV

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Grand Theft Auto IV is a sandbox-style action-adventure video game developed by Rockstar North,^[14] and released for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC video game consoles in Europe, North America and Oceania, on 29 April 2008,^[15] and in Japan on 30 October 2008.^[16] A Windows version of the game was released in North America on 2 December 2008 and in Europe on 3 December.^[5][6][4] It was made available on Steam on 4 January 2009.^[17] It is the sixth 3D game in the Grand Theft Auto series.

Two episodic packs have since been released for the Xbox 360, the first entitled The Lost and Damned, released on 17 February 2009. The second is entitled The Ballad of Gay Tony, released on 29 October 2009.^[18][19] Both episodes were released for PlayStation 3 and Microsoft Windows on 13 April 2010^[20] in North America and on 16 April^[20] 2010 in Europe.^[21]

The game is set in a redesigned rendition of Liberty City, a fictional city based heavily on modern day New York City. It follows Niko Bellic, a war veteran from an unspecified country in Eastern Europe.^[22] He comes to the United States in search of the American Dream,^[23] but quickly becomes entangled in a world of gangs, crime, and corruption. Like other games in the series, GTA IV is composed of elements from driving games and third-person shooters, and features "open-world" gameplay that gives players more control over their playing experience. It is the first console game in the series to feature an online multiplayer mode.

As the first game of the critically acclaimed series to appear on seventh generation consoles, Grand Theft Auto IV was widely anticipated. A major commercial and critical success, it broke industry records with sales of around 3.7 million units on its first day of release and grossing more than $500 million in revenue in the first week, selling an estimated 6 million units worldwide.^[24][25] As of 9 June 2010, the game had sold over 17 million copies.^[26] It is the all-time highest-scoring game on five professional critic review-aggregating websites: Metacritic,^[27] MobyGames,^[28] TopTenReviews,^[29] GameRatio^[30] and GameTab.

Grand Theft Auto San Andreas (on SAMP)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (commonly abbreviated as GTA: SA) is a sandbox-style action-adventure computer and video game developed by Rockstar North. It is the third 3D game in the Grand Theft Auto video game franchise, the fifth original console release and eighth game overall. Originally released for the PlayStation 2 in October 2004,^[2] the game has since been ported to the Xbox and Microsoft Windows, and has received wide acclaim and high sales figures on all three platforms, and is the highest selling game of all time on PlayStation 2. It was made available on Steam on January 4, 2008.^[9] Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas was succeeded by Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories and was preceded by Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.

The game is set in the fictional state of San Andreas, comprising three metropolitan cities, Los Santos, based on Los Angeles, San Fierro, based on San Francisco and Las Venturas, based on Las Vegas, with deserts, rivers, forests and even a mountain separating the cities. Set in late 1992,^[10] San Andreas revolves around the gang member Carl "CJ" Johnson returning home from Liberty City to Los Santos, San Andreas, after learning of his mother's murder. CJ finds his old friends and family in disarray. Over the course of the game, CJ gradually unravels the plot behind his mother's murder while exploring his own business ventures. Like other games in the series, San Andreas is composed of elements from driving games and third-person shooters, and features "open-world" gameplay that gives the player more control over their playing experience. The game adds several features, such as car customization, and character personalization.

Much like the previous and future entries in the Grand Theft Auto series, San Andreas's critical and commercial success has not been without controversy. The most notable controversy was over the explicit "Hot Coffee" sex minigame found on the Microsoft Windows game, which was disabled but left within the game's code. Its discovery led San Andreas to be re-rated in the United States briefly as an adults only game and pulled from retailers' shelves in the US. After the 'Hot Coffee' minigame code was removed, the game was re-rated as M for mature again.

Plane ticket finalizations information

This is to all people going to LA in October. Calita has sent everyone a form to fill into to confirm that all travel arrangements on your end to get to LA have been finalized. The reason we have done this is to make sure we know the right number of people to expect at LAX International on the arrival date so we can pick you up. We would hate to leave you at the airport stranded so please give us as much information about your flight as possible.

The form is simple to fill in and can be returned via replying to the message. Thanks and see you in LA ;)

Please dont invite strangers to Xbox Live parties

We have noticed within the last few meetings on Xbox Live that alot of people have been inviting their friends into our parties who are not members of the mafia. We like to keep our meetings confidential so please remember not to invite anyone who is not a member in the future. Thanks

Regarding webchat meetings

Whenever a webchat is arranged we will now use a seperate link for every chat we have together in a private chat unlike before when we had an open chat on our website. This stops rival clans or anyone else finding out information by shadowing the chat.

When loaning from personal funds no witness is needed on transactions.

CnR Gaming times for tonight

4pm GMT - Las Venturas - BSF Base
7pm GMT - San Fiero - Old Shack

All members welcome - we want to try and get around 20 members on the server tonight if possible but lately alot of us have been getting booted for bringing in clans which are not part of the server so we will see what happens. We will not give up.

Managment needed on the server

We are now in need of a few people, prefrably 3-4 people to manage and guard vehicles on the CnR server. When some members leave the server we need people to guard and keep an eye on vehicles to make sure they are not stolen, then when the new members come on the server they can take the vehicles off the guards.

The reason why we have decided to have guards is because when people quit the server they usually just left the vehicle unattended which led to them being stolen or trashed. This obviously meant that new cars would have to be found and painted in our colours.

If you are interested in this job with us then please email myself Jai Kim or Wei Su. Details for contact can be seen on the official website.

Over this weekend we will hosting a meeting, the meeting will start at 6pm GMT on the CnR Server. We will all meet up in Black Limos at an undisclosed location in Las Venturas.
