[Threshold]

The Mudbytes community is a very small subset of the MUD community. Basically it is a clique that splintered off from TMC/TMS. That's not a slight. A lot of sub-communities form that way.

Raw # of posts is pretty meaningless. That number is easily inflated by people who like shouting into an echo chamber. Mudbytes also includes the biggest trolls from TMC, which makes it a pretty hostile environment for anyone outside that clique.

TMS is a much larger swath of the entire community of game developers, gamers, client developers, and outsiders with interest in MUDs.

Not to mention TMS has a much cleaner and easier to read forum.
