This is bad.

https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=torios

According to:
https://distrowatch.com/dwres.php?resource=faq#distrostatus

ToriOS will be marked as *Dormant* soon!

Release Date 2016-09-06

Above is the release date of ToriOS 1.0 which was listed on DistroWatch.com
and no one wants to see that, at least I don't.

That's why we need to act ASAP!

While it could be hard to work on ToriOS development and testing, working
on the marketing and promoting stuff is even harder. Building a reputation
is not easy at all. I'm 110% responsible and I blame no one but myself. I'm
just thinking loudly here.

That's why I am back.
That's why I quit every other project and I'd like to focus on ToriOS.

This will give me more time for my Real Life stuff + focus on ToriOS as
well.
That was the only way. Had to quit what I loved to do for a better cause.
ToriOS means a lot to me!

Please do!
It's the most important page of all, IMHO.

That means it's for the advanced users. However, there is no link
whatsoever from our official website (www.torios.top) to Phill's server or
at least:
http://phillw.net/isos/torios/

We can add it under:
http://torios.top/download/testing/

YES. That's right.
I can provide access to anyone who is willing to help, just in case I won't
be around for sometime. After all, it shouldn't be with only one person. At
least, there must be 3 so things won't be out of control.
