Aardwolf has a built in voting function and we ran a poll a couple of months ago on how people found their way to Aardwolf. Sites such as TMS are definitely important, but word of mouth is still by far our #1 contributor to new players. Although the number of people that took part in the poll was disappointingly low, I think the ratios are still representative.
It's hard to get the message across about the value of text MUDs in a world dominated by the likes of WoW, but a friend telling you how they're so hooked on something and how they enjoy playing is hard to beat. Note that we've never really promoted ourselves on gaming sites, magazines, etc .. would be interesting to see how these numbers stack up vs Iron Realms, Medievia and similar.
