that better not have been directed at me snake.
also, didnt realise this thread was for complaining about not being paid.
everyones wearing their bitchy pants today
so you will agree to do real work in sustaining game abandoned by developers for free?
i could understand that if toribash was your game, but it isn't. you will just encourage devs keep slacking like they do for last 3-4 years
we all were like that once. trying to help, thinking that you can change something, make things better. willing to do things for free. thinking that your efforts will be noticed.
pink shades. don't repeat same mistakes as dozens people before you.
you may probably check opinions on game from people who contributed it. like 8OJ4N, Nirs, ex-gms / ex-smods etc
but hey, they surely don't know shit, just a gagle of butthurt oldfags, right?
sometimes people give okay advices, especially people who've been here and done that. it took long time for me to stop looking at things through pink shades, but if i could do it earlier i'd better wasted my time on something more entertaining for myself insted of entertaining other people. and in hopes that devs will start to do their job.
it takes time to understand. give yourself couple of years when you will had to pay for living yourself and your attitude towards concepts of slacking and concept of working for free will drasticly change. i guarantee.
What's with the negative attitude?
When a hobby becomes a job with obligatories? It's a hobby. You decide how much time you spend on it. It doesn't suddenly become something unless you want to.
As an ex-gm and somepony who pays for his living I can tell you I see things differently. There are ponies who enjoy spending time in the community, that doesn't even have to be game related. I mean BenDover checks the artboard, how is that affected by slacking devs? He's sustaining the community and the ponies in it. And of course you can change something and your efforts will be noticed. You just shouldn't expect ponies to always remember you because you did something some time ago or hate on the devs because your plans failed once. You are being noted as long as you do something.
There are plenty of ways to have an impact on the community and the game. I don't know what problems these ponies have with the devs... it's a working game and a really nice one, too. It probably allows more creativity than any other game.

my standpoint is simple: game is abandoned by devs. why bother? keeping it up for free so hamp can make money? i do not compute. i undertand putting in effort in something that is being developed, when devs sometimes listen, then it may be reasonable.

Then why are you in this org? And why are you on this forum? I think you should leave if you're not interested in improving Toribash.
We bother because it's our (apparently not your) hobby. Because we enjoy being in this community and interacting with the people in this community no matter who makes money from it. Isn't this kinda the thing a hobby is about? Using time on things you enjoy? Nobody expects someone to manage the whole forum. That's why there are many smods and whatever. You just have to go through them and remove inactive ones again.
Also I'd rather say the slacking time was pre 4.0. Which sure had its reasons.
Hampa seems quite active to me now.
