So basically the "Top 10" lists are inherently flawed.
Perhaps it might be worth setting up a site that periodically aggregates these lists in order to provide a truer representation of the top MUDs (possibly based on the percentage of total vote count per site). Unfortunately, I can envision ways to manipulate those results as well.
This is an unfortunate situation, as it can mislead those that are new to the community depending on which MUD site they visit first. I know that if my first MUD experience had been of the DragonBallZ variety, I'd not have returned for seconds.
