So if participation isn't universal, how is this list better than the current lists? If it's not actually a list of the top 10 most popular MUDs (because some won't participate) doesn't the reason you're doing this disappear?
The whole point is that there is no way to get the active user count if the MUD admin wants to deceive you. If you think MUD admins won't cheat, I'll point you to a number of large MUDs that have been kicked off TMS for cheating.
Well, that's one real question but before you can ask that, the question is, "Can you drive enough traffic to a site that lists that to make it worthwhile for big MUDs to participate? Just making a web page with a list of MUDs does nothing as a promotional tool unless traffic is being driven there.
I know we wouldn't participate unless there was some reasonable way to verify the claims of the individual MUDs, and I don't see any way to verify those claims.
