i joined the toribash community over a year ago and the thing i liked about it was the smallness of it all. its kinda like a small village in the countryside where everyone knows everyone else. i remember if the active members at the bottom of the forums was over 200 then there was a lot of people on.

today i checked that figure and saw it was well over 400 so clearly the popularity of toribash is rising as more and more people tell their friends about it. at first thought this seems like a good thing the more the merrier, right? im not so sure i think toribash is losing that "village" feel. i fear that it will become a community where no one knows nor cares about anyone else and just cares about their belt, rank, win ratio and post count.

im not sure wether the toribash moderators can handle the sheer amount of trolls and idiots that will undoubtedly come with popularity. to solve this more moderators would be needed but with more moderators their comes the possibility of more power abusing moderators and they would be more difficult to spot.

specifically in the replay and art section of the forums but possibly in other sections too it would be a lot more difficult for talent to stand out from the rest with the sheer weight of threads being made.

more players may be good for the game itself because it bring in money for the game development but i don't think it will be so good for the community which for many players including myself is the best thing about toribash.

this is just my opinion feel free to disagree with me i would be happy to hear ur opinions on the matter.
