<Stellar>: Hello ishi.
<Stellar>: Anyways do you have time for some questions?
<ishi>: Ye sure, i will make time in my busy day just for you.
<Stellar>: So sweet of you. Well first off, can you tell me what brought you to toribash?
<ishi>: A link on a website called physics games or something like that back in 2006, i think it was fun-motion.com.
<Stellar>: Can you give me some general information about yourself?
<Stellar>: Such as age, what you have done for toribash etc etc.
<ishi>: Well, in real life when I’m not being the president of space, I am a caretaker for my disabled mother and sister, I just turned 22 on the 26th of April, and I like to make very long run on sentences with no end in sight and way too many commas in them.
<ishi>: I started off doing small local mod stuff for uh.. replays and the mod sections I think, worked my way up to super mod(was called global mod back then) because Veb was too lazy to move something once and asked if anyone in irc would do it for him.
<ishi>: Did that for a while off and on, did some event stuff with the gamekeepers(old gamemasters), was a tori-agent for a while(old in game moderators) and about every staff position save for dev in between.
<Stellar>: Seems like you've been quite busy in your toribash career, if you had to pick what you say was your favorite job?
<ishi>: Honestly, probably ircop, its where I've spent most of my time, and its nice to be able to do more to remove the people that try to disrupt everyone's highly important conversations about getting noodles in their eyes, sharks and what not.
<ishi>: But most rewarding was probably when I was torishop admin helping out the msquad, I think that's where I helped the most people, many many scam reports a day, and I got more thank you's on that job than any other.
<ishi>: But also a lot of angry farmers and scammers who's items I took away, but that was part of the fun as well
<Stellar>: Yeah I've been meaning to ask you about those "ishi" items I see in your deactivated. Has anyone ever been deemed worthy enough for one?
<ishi>: Quite a few people, don’t know if they'd like to be revealed since they might be hounded for them(although they are untradeable). I just made them as something nice to give to people who did something for me extra nice, such as art, or gifting me steam games, or sometimes just members of the community that have done things to help other people out.
<ishi>: I would still be giving them out, but I made them untradeable around when I left TSA so... yeah.
<ishi>: Pain in the butt to have to bother a TSA to do a transfer for them
<Stellar>: Yeah but I'm pretty sure you know how much fun it is to annoy Skul for things.
<Stellar>: So you've been a member of this community for some time, and you've grown quite a reputation; how do you feel being loved by the "older" generation of toribashers?
<ishi>: I’m not sure its love, just that I’ve always been around and have grown to be close friends with many of them, but it makes me feel good that not everyone has forgotten me, being popular has its good sides :o
<Stellar>: Well I mean you were basically a meme for a good year back in 2010 ha-ha.
<ishi>: Yup, I’m glad people didn't get sick of me, memes tend to die out pretty fast
<Stellar>: Yeah it's hard to get tired of the ishi, anyways do you think that you may pick up any jobs in the community in the future?
<ishi>: I’ve been kicking the idea around, but once you've been super admin, it would be hard coming back to anything less, but i can't just walk up to Hampa and say hey I’m back sorry for leaving give me super admin, thanks, ya know?
<Stellar>: I gotcha, so how do you feel about the community now; as compared to back in lets say 2008.
<Stellar>: Do you feel like it has improved or gotten worse?
<ishi>: Its growing at an amazing pace, and I’m very glad for Hampa that his game has gone so far, he is a friend and a great guy. Although I may have preferred the community when it was smaller, growth is always good for a game.. so I guess I’d say improved.
<ishi>: Besides the 500000 official clans.. they should do something about that, everyone just wants to have their own and its getting pretty crazy.
<Stellar>: Speaking of clans you should totally join Mr.
<Stellar>: :^)
<ishi>: [no]
<Stellar>:
Well anyways is there anything you'd like to say to the readers?
<ishi>: Thanks for reading, I hope you all have wonderful lives with no regrets. Also bug people to interview hanz0, he has weapons in the trunk of his car.
<Stellar>: Alright ishi thanks for you time.
<Stellar>: o7
<ishi>: o8
<Stellar>: wat
<ishi>: I don't even know.
