Re: MUD - What can it validly stand for?

It's probably completely inconsequential, but not necessarily. The reason the polls happened in the first place was a dispute between Scandum and myself over the Wikipedia article on MUDs; he wanted the Dimension and Domain expansions to be shuffled off into the TinyMUD section, while I wanted them to be noted in the article lead (with Dungeon described as the original expansion and Dimension/Domain mentioned as later variants). Scandum wanted his poll to demonstrate that the community has abandoned or never really adopted the Dimension/Domain expansions so as to support his position, which may have some small relation to the other poll's heavy biasing toward Dungeon, that I mention below. The other poll didn't really accomplish that, but this one really drives the message home.
