There is no problem nor issue imo. When toribash got greenlit, then released on steam, was the only time we ever had more than like 500 tops players online at once. Before all of that, we actually had less of a userbase than we do now.
So, we are falling on the graph as a natural flow from our last high. If we want another influx of members, the game has to have a new appealing factor. It's already out on steam and I have spoken to many people who don't participate in this community who also know what toribash is(they also think the game is silly and stupid most of the time). I doubt advertising would be our biggest issue here.
Before 2011, I wasn't really doing any caring towards the community, so I don't know what the userbase was then.
Based hazily of what NutHug said in an interview, the pros don't have anything really to work with like they did anymore. Everyone has gotten so good at winning due to the way humans can learn crap. Back in the day, toribash was an experiment and new idea that wasn't a huge winners club jerk circle. Due to this and repetitiveness, I think it's fair to see that not as many "pros" are still playing.
