Post any bugs you find here. But there aren't as many bugs that are really bugs and I don't already know about than when this first started, so also use this as a general conversation save, or to ask / tell me anything. #1 most commented save in tpt!

    Schicko: I don't plan on retiring anytime soon :P, but if I were going to I would make a thread. If I suddenly disappear that probably means something bad happened :P. Catelite is still active on IRC and occasionally in game, I think lolzy quit with a goodbye thread, and AntB (Xenocide) sort of disappeared. Lockheedmartin is also a very active mod. Also, TPT isn't really "funded", Simon just pays for everything. I have no idea how much it costs, he only has that one ad on the website.

    DoritosTaco: TPTMP is inactive sometime. I used to be able to monitor the chat (and maybe even join if someone came on), but it's between being moved to another server so I can't see exactly how many people join now. Maybe you could organize playing it with someone, that's what a lot of people do.

    Actually, how is TPT even funded? Is it all Simon's moneys? Or do people donate stuff or just volunteer? Whose server is used and who pays for it? How is it even possible that TPT has been running since 2009/10 and now has like 100000+ users and it's still completely free?!

    DoritosTaco there are peak times where there are loads of people. Usually around 7-9pm gmt+0 for me.

    jacob, since you're pretty much the only active mod, what will happen when you retire? Also do you know what happened to the old ones (Cate, AntB, Lolzy,etc.) They seem to have just disappeared. I only see you and jacksonmj and ocassionally cracker nowadays. Have they simply gone lazy or moved on without a goodbye?

    also yay, more comments :D. Why can't you pick a day i'm here to all comment though :P. I always like comments, if not I get bored / wonder why I even opened TPT >_>. Nice to know what's going on in TPT in general.

    Schicko: the thing is, devs already have abandoned the game >_>. At least in my opinion (and that includes me too). Once the lead dev (Simon) stopped doing things I eventually stopped expecting him to do things. A lot of people were scared off by the c++ rewrite too. There will possibly another version eventually (in a few months) when he gets on and I bug him for the 20th time that the game needs updating, but expect very little. I'm also pretty busy too, just like i'm sure he is.

    runemaster: I don't think a 3D version will ever happen, that's beyond my capabilities ... (i'm actually mostly just a bug fixer :P). Also would essentially be a new game, coded from scratch. Doesn't even have to be TPT, chances are there's a similar game like that already.

    Schicko: i'm not sure if your change will get in, it's very simple but only if I feel like it / have time for it. DoritosTaco: TPTMP is just what you think it is, you can draw / interact with other users while chatting, as long as you can deal with the minor syncing issues :P. That error is known, not sure what causes it exactly but i'm sure a future version will fix it.
