Whenever you add a URL to a post the SEO system will go to that page and pull the page title to put into the link.

The reason for this is that presumably a page title has been set to something the owner wants that page to rank well for in the search engines, so creating the URL with that title as the anchor text helps search results.

Very few MUD homepages are optimized for search engines. Possibly part of the reason not as many folks as we'd like are discovering MUDs these days. TMS forums aren't going to solve that single handledly, particularly as they're so new at this stage they have no page rankings to pass along -- but it's a start.
