Good question. Thread necromancy indeed and I'm about to start some serious "code necromancy" here one of these days.

The "new" TMS has been up almost 6 months now and I got buried on another project right after it did. From what I recall we had pretty much decided to use the forum for reviews which gives us a certain level of authentication on who is writing them and allows comments to be added. The forum itself will need some hacking to allow this to be done, although I believe there are some third party VBulletin tools that help with it.

We didn't really come up with a good rating system - too many variables. It wouldn't be fair to have a mud's total rating dragged down because they score low on PK when they're not a PK mud, same with roleplay, etc etc.
