Here's next flamebite: okay, they cheat. So what? I remember a statement
like "the fun is the paramount", so no matter what they do, they're
having fun and as long as you don't lose your profits (presumed it's
about a commercial MUD), you're fine.
And, the crackers play a positive role as well - I doubt your losses
would be THAT bad if even you charge $20/hour, but they will definitely
spot the weak links in your system, and ultimately you will thank them.
