Likes:
1) Roleplaying discussions. Specifically, I prefer technique-oritented discussions, and dislike rambly things like the neverending stories.
2) How other people have solved difficult problems on their MUD, either coding, administrative, or "cultural".
3) Figuring out what things people want from games. This comes from well-written reviews, advertisements, and general discussion.
Dislikes:
1) Far too many threads here are back-and-forth flaming.
2) Off-topic rambling. I come to TMS to read about MUDs, and not "D00d, what sk8ers roxxor your boxxors?" type posts.
3) People who come here for very basic coding/admin questions. There are a lot of topics where I read them and say "If no one on your staff knows that, you should probably accept that running a MUD is slightly beyond you at this point, and join an established project to get useful experience instead, rather than burn yourself out reinventing the wheel."
