You're too aggressive. Rather than insulting Kirito, continuing the discussion would've been insanely more useful than this. Especially considering ranking is more competitive than it used to be, with the #1 prize and the monthly tournament.

Anyways, moving back on topic, I don't really feel like Toribash is doing a phoenix resurrection or anything. This is simply the circle of Toribash. It goes around and around with those score few sticking to the game. A couple people join, some to none stay. Those people who stick to the game have just amazingly not lost interest, or simply came back because they missed the game after not playing for so long.

Toribash isn't really restarting. This always happens. People leave, new people come, legends rise, legends die. Why do you think we have such a long list of staff? Not everyone can hold a staff position for 8-9 years. I mean look at veb. He's one of, if not the oldest member in toribash. He was a staff member for a long time but eventually he too died and came back.
