-Every generation of staff comes with it's own generations of circle jerks, circle jerks bring tension amongst staff members and promotes hivemind thinking/voting/banning and brown-nosing

-Every generation also has that kiss-ass low level staff member that makes sure to brown nose as much as possible with higher staff to get promoted. That person then has a massively inflated ego and makes everyone else smell their shit in return. You know who you are

-There is never a reliable line of communication between all staff (Don't even try to tell me it's changed) There are like 7 different staff servers, 10 more private servers of the circle jerks listed above, and like 100+ different DMs for every single report/interaction per staff.


-There's no real screening process in regards to hiring staff. Staff literally made someone an admin who faked being a dying 13 year old girl with leukemia


-Politics and Identity politics; I think you fucks should straight up remove your opinions/feelings from the game/forum because no one else in obligated to give a shit or believe what you do





Take what I say with a grain of salt seeing as I was only staff from like 2008 to 2014. There's some diamonds in the rough with the current staff but the games staff has always been pretty garbage.
Hell, when I was admin I couldn't talk to about half the staff because either a bunch of ex-staff (with access to the staff channels still??) would either try to make a ill-intended joke and derail what was trying to be discussed, or they would straight up just harass me/others to the point that we would just ignore/delay whatever was trying to be discussed.


inb4 some old staff tries to make a joke or "stellar spawned items don't listen!"

everything i'm saying is merely guessing but it's what i think is probably most true

- yeah it's not paid work, toribash is an indie game from 2006 which peaked roughly 6-7 years following and fell off since. i believe there to be no actual monetary gain for anyone involved because the only monetized factors are buying things from the shop with real money (which nobody does), buying forum vip (probably the biggest thing), and buying toribash merch (who?? what?? why??). i'm genuinely interested to know how much toribash makes daily just by selling off forum subscriptions and god knows what else

- i don't know who circlejerks nowadays because it seems like everyone's just doing volunteer work for a game they enjoy(ed). afaik there aren't any 14 year olds in staff anymore so the likelihood of blatant abuse of power isn't gonna happen (unless you wanna count that icky thing, but i mean it more like banning ppl)

- same point as above, i don't think there are any secret agents amongst the staff who are commended for their righteous power of telling on people for fun. i might just need this explained to me more

- i think someone already said it, the use of Discord makes staff communication much more localized and tied together. dare there be any secret servers for specific staff, i would consider them completely pointless because there just aren't enough members in any field now to warrant that. there could still be the Looming Danger of DMs between two or few people, i have nothing to say on that

- there is now lol

- i can't say much on this cuz idk what people are up to, but this seems like a big thing of the past imo


u might just be holding grudges that are coming up to a decade old now. that's scary brudda. i ain't a staff defender cuz they HAVE done wrong, but i aint a staff hater cuz they aint doin anythin now. i don't like the overwhelming inactivity regarding the current game state, and i DO think more could be done about it ... but at the end of the day, it's a 17 year old indie game made by a guy who had an idea.
i don't think any of this was meant to happen or even go on this long. i don't think anyone knows what to do anymore because it's basically keeping a dead horse standing up. every new lousy in-game event or cosmetic item or.. Battle Pass.. is just another support stick under the overbearing load of time

sorry for getting philosophical and/or taking this seriously
funny blue smiling person
please to be enjoying lowkido
let's bring minibash back!
