I am primarily interested in technical, server-agnostic, discussions
and in hearing about the <results> of design decisions and policies
in actual running muds. What I will be posting about is my own
research in server development.
I think the recent signal loss is not due to new members asking old
questions, but to new members giving bad answers. This has reached
embarassing levels, as when a newbie explained the MUD acronym to
a longtime list veteran. I would like people to be more careful
about what they post.
