[Threshold]

I am going to assume this is a real question and not just a flippant, sarcastic remark. I hope I am right.

First, the thread title is "What do you think happened to LPmuds?" If there are tons of LPmuds out there flourishing, and new ones being created frequently, then a valid answer is "They are doing fine <insert examples>." Since nobody seems to be saying that, then my belief that LPmuds (and the use of LPC) are fading seems to be somewhat accurate.

Second, I have a very nostalgic interest in the topic of LPmuds and LPC, and thus I pay attention to what muds out there are LP-style. Since I see very few of them, and I hear about new ones even less frequently, that just lends evidence to my hypothesis. Every now and then I will read about a new mud, or a mud looking for coders, and they will say "We use MudOSand LIMA" and it is actually a shock. It makes me think "Wow, I don't hear that very often!" Compare that to how often you hear someone say their mud is Smaug or Merc or ROM or something like that.
