The TORCommunity Team
Everything you see here at TORCommunity wouldn't be possible without the hard work of members of the SWTOR community - people just like you. Unlike many gaming fansites, we are not a company, and our primary motivation is a love of the game. The TORCommunity team is a collection of like-minded individuals volunteering our time to provide helpful tools, guides, databases, and other resources to the community simply because we are passionate about the game.
From engineers and computer programmers to stay-at-home moms and biologists, we are a diverse group of people from various backgrounds working together towards the same goal: to make TORCommunity your one-stop place for everything SWTOR. You can read more about the full team on our About Page.
Join the Team!
Even with over a dozen people on our core team, we still could use a lot of help! We all have other full or part-time jobs outside of TORCommunity, and maintaining and updating the site is a lot of work! We're always looking to collaborate with other individuals or fansites in the SWTOR community, and we're always open to bringing on more people to be a part of what we do.
By joining the TORCommunity Team, you'll have the chance to work with people like swtor_miner, swtor_potato, Yusi, Chemayla, Hayward, Ohnoto, Penther, Snave, Xam Xam, and many more members of the SWTOR community, not to mention you'll have all of the resources of TORCommunity at your disposal.
Currently, we're looking for team members for the following positions:
