Uh well I've been trying to do the same thing with php, for the past 5 months, on and off, and I have been unsuccessful. So I would advise, if you just got the idea to do this, this is what you'll do:

1) Visit this thread
2) Buy some paracetamol
3) Go to php.net and read all their pages
4) Take paracetamol for your headache
5) Try to get various scripts that do web grabbing
6) See 4
Finally 5 months later
1200) Give up

It is possible, but I can't see an easy way. Maybe there isn't, or someone kind might have actually been of help? Sometimes it takes an evil mastermind to program supremely hard things, and evil geniuses like them don't usually help. I believe such scripts have been programmed by these people in the past for their MUDs. Notice how they manage to capture the name of the MUD before em too. Diabolically clever.

We could always bug Synozeer to death to make a user friendly page just to show the MUD's names and their votes. Or we could offer him 500 bucks or something. Hmm, I'll get my foghorn ready, you supply the chalkboard and I'll get someone to bring along a cat to scrape it. Those secrets will be mine... all miiinneee.... Sssssoonnn, my presssssciousssss..
