Re: Forum admin's dilemma.
I agree that the listings themselves could definitely use a cleanup. I had written a program to check their connections at once point then I saw something shiny and went after it and never came back to that program. Links taking people to MUDs other than what they claim to be is a tougher thing to resolve as that's pretty much manual.
I'm less convinced that adding new categories is going to help anything. They may already be too granular. High level categories are great for steering someone towards their big preferences but "RP Y/N?" "PK Y/N?" etc really isn't enough to get a good feel for a MUD, its community or the way it plays. Each one is unique (mostly) and the only way to really know for sure is to try it, and for more than 15 seconds.
