[BLAST.HK](https://www.blast.hk/) (BlastHack) is the largest Russian-speaking forum about GTA: San Andreas and SA:MP modding. MoonLoader, SAMPFUNCS and many other tools came from there. I registered on **October 28, 2017** as **Pakulichev**; the same account is now called **ImPasha** ([BLAST.HK profile](https://www.blast.hk/members/159390/)).

## Moderation and helping users

I became a "verified" user on March 27, 2019, a section moderator on **June 27, 2019**, and a **global moderator** from **August 27, 2020 to September 23, 2023**. As a moderator I kept order in sections and threads, helped with questions about Lua, MoonLoader, SA:MP, PHP and JavaScript, wrote rules for giveaways, contests and promotions and ran them.

## Improvements and tools for BLAST.HK

For the forum I wrote the [BlastPHP](https://pakulichev.com/en/projects/blastphp) PHP library: sign-in, posting, avatars. The **@Pakulichev BOT** forum bot ran on it. I also made modifications for the BLAST.HK site and tools for forum users.

## Publications

What I published on the forum:

- the [Police Tools source code](https://pakulichev.com/en/projects/police-tools), about 10,000 lines, one of the largest open-source MoonLoader projects;
- [SL:MP](https://pakulichev.com/en/projects/sl-mp), an exclusive thread about developing a multiplayer in Lua;
- [ImGUI Editor](https://pakulichev.com/en/projects/imgui-editor), an open-source visual editor for mimgui;
- a guide to [SNET](https://pakulichev.com/en/projects/snet), a networking interface over UDP;
- "Clean Lua code formatting", a code style guide;

- a [live SA:MP map](https://pakulichev.com/en/projects/samp-web-map) in the browser.

## Contests and patronage

I sponsored **The SA:MP Coder**, the annual SA:MP development contest on BLAST.HK run by lemonager, in [2022](https://www.blast.hk/threads/154592/) and [2023](https://www.blast.hk/threads/193650/). Sponsors of forum events get the **"Patron"** award, and I have it too.

## Today

I still visit BLAST.HK, just less often. These days I work on web services and server infrastructure.
