Re: In defense of all MUDs. Our genre's noteworthiness is being questioned.

There really doesn't seem to be much of an actual community. More along the lines of a relatively small number of people that are either constantly changing MUDs/Mushes/whatever (From here on I refer to all similar games as MUDS) or trying to expand their own muds. With everyone else relatively isolated in their own little mud worlds. How many people are actually trying to defend Mudding or even care how well recognized MUDDing is as its own platform and how many only care about strengthening their own Mud's playerbase?

Not to mention that I imagie competition between muds is pretty cutthroat as similar muds struggle in a negative sum game of trying to keep their muds alive. I'm a little surprised actually that there isn't more then just deception going on in the wikipedia pages, instead of things like outright sabotage of each other.
