Re: Why not exploit the telnet protocol?

Major necro here...but I stumbled across this old thread while looking for something else, and found it interesting that erdos was discussing features such as client detection, automatic identification of feature support, "hidden client-server dialogues" and such, back in 2003.

There was very little interest from other posters at the time (myself included). It's pretty interesting to see how attitudes have changed in the decade since then, with an increasing number of muds now doing exactly the sort of things he proposed.

Some people argue that the mud community is stagnant, never does anything new, etc. But clearly that's not the case.
