Ok, here's the short version, I'll PM you the long version.
In October 2013, death and blenderite started making this game. They hired quite some staff, including but not limited to myself, Icat, boomer, beagle, zach, scope, codekitkat, silent, Zerkon, and many more. By February, this game was made, and itanks was "abandoned". Deathskull revived the game in April, though he removed all staff apart from himself and blenderite. In fact, very few players on this forum were involved with itanks. 2 different communities, until now that is.
