Not at all. Use the most extreme example: WoW. I'd love to have WoW listed here and the Blizzard people encourging their players to vote. That's 6 million players, probably 30x-60x larger than all text MUDs combined. Being anywhere on the front page when WoW players started voting (assuming the TMS servers didn't just crash, which they would) would be -awesome-. Who cares if some of our players go play the new #1 instead? There are a LOT more WoW players to come play the MUDs ranked lower.
The same reason I'd love to have WoW dominating the list is why Blizzard would never list on a site like TMS. It has far more to lose than it has to gain in that situation.
Incidentally, regarding the rankings, it's also worth considering that TMS is one of the top results on Google for 'MUD' and 'MUDs.'
