the_logos will become famous soon enough
But this is meaningless. Whether you're on the first page or the 100th page isn't what matters, unless this is an ego trip for someone, in which case I'd say "grow up" to that person. What matters is how much traffic back to your MUD you get relative to how much you send to TMS. Has that ratio changed?


It's easy to get into the top ten on mudmagic because there's not much traffic to the voting list. Few of the biggest MUDs send traffic there.

Look, to emphasize how irrelevant what page you're on is, I would HAPPILY back a system whereby we somehow got all the big graphical MUDs (WoW, Runescape, etc) to join TMS. Not a single text MUD would be on the front page. On the other hand, the amount of traffic coming in if Blizzard decided to ask their players to vote on TMS would be enormous. With that much traffic coming in, being #25 would be worth more than being #1 is today.

Again, being on the front page or on top isn't important. Getting traffic back to your MUD is.
