Of course Viagra MUDs are popular, but not for their quality so much as their ability to allow even the most insecure and impotent to feel that they're something as long as they've got a valid credit card.

But that's a discussion for elsewhere.

What GuruPlayer is refering to is the fact that 5 of the 7 MUDs which you refered to are commercial MUDs, which have an invested interest in preventing their flaws from coming to light.  Any review that doesn't correspond with the image of the MUD that their propaganda suggests is a danger to the bottom line.  So turning off reviews doesn't mean that doing so is a sound advertising scheme or that it is a path to success.  Rather, it means that turning off reviews are a good way to counter anything which runs contrary to the image you're trying to project, regardless of how accurate or inaccurate that image may be.

Take care,

Jason
