Re: The "Health," of Muds

I'd agree with that, but the argument here is that there are actually fewer muds and mudders (not as a percentage, but in actual numbers) - lotusofro was even claiming that the number of mudders had dropped from nearly 1 million in 1994 to less than 50,000 today, which (to quote his post) meant the total number of mudders today would be "5% of 14 years ago". That's what I disagree with.

2005 being the year when Icculus purged 802 muds for being unreachable, following years of complaints about how so many of the listings were out of date. I'm afraid I have to agree with Threshold - that the TMC listings include too many variables to be reliable in tracking the health of muds.
