The issue with afkness could partly be solved by sending two numbers: {totalOnline, afkOnline}. Just like how players complain when a MUD has too good ranking today due to possible cheating, players would be able to complain about wrong statistics. You can't really be certain of anything sent from a 3rd party - not even votes, but you can have faith that it is somewhat correct.

I just got yet an idea while writing this. Pings could be sent through e.g IMC2 or intermud protocol. TMS could act as a hub and provide a friendly chat community for the connected MUDs.
