It would be a rather dubious sort of "fun" for most people.  What is the fun of voting if your vote is meaningless?

Now, what you could do is have a system where voting trends are magnified, such that growth is rewarded, and consistent growth is rewarded even more; and decline and consistent decline are punished to even greater degrees.  That way, new muds would have a better chance to get noticed.  The system would also call attention to consistent growth in an established muds, indicating that those muds are not simply living on past successes.  Dead and dying muds would be pushed to the bottom.

Purposely fluctuating in voting efforts (to get on the top every so often rather than maintaining an average position) would be punished, since their temporary successes would be demagnified by the checks for consistency and their failures would be demagnified less so than their successes.

All that is how it would benefit the voting process.  Here is how it would benefit the site itself:

1) Mud owners would be rewarded for entering their mud into the database for the first time and for doing so as early as possible.

2) Mud owners would also be rewarded for removing poor quality muds until such time the mud can be brought up to standards (since consistent decline is punished more so than a one-time decline).

3) The expected returns for advertising on the site would increase, and so people would be more likely to do so.
