This is expanding on someone's post in webmasters about getting your mud's current rank on TopMudSites so you can display it on your page. Since this is more of a TMS suggestion I've posted here, rather then responding to that rather old post.

If you create a simple page where the user could pass the ID of their mud just like you do with the Info tab you could create a very small page that just outputs in xml.

The xml wouldn't have to have that much information in it you could get by with just showing the rank

[code]
<?xml version="1.0">
<TopMudSites>
   <Mud>
      <Name>achaea</Name>
      <Rank>1</Rank>
      <RankStatus>U</RankStatus>
   </Mud>
</TopMudSites>

RankStatus would be their current trend (the green arrow that points up or down).

Then mud owners wouldn't have to worry about screenscraping information to get their current rank.
