Never meant to be? Funny how the inventor of muds turned his first mud into a commercial mud 20 years ago. Funny how the biggest muds since then have -always- been commercial. Funny how hobbyist muds as you know them didn't start until about 10 years after muds began.
And "turning into one"? The heyday of commercial text muds was 1995-1997. At least one text mud was making over 1 million/month during that time. No text muds make that much now.
Get your facts straight, yet again.
Of course, what it was "meant" to be is irrelevant. If by "meant to" you mean whatever the first mud did, then I wonder why you're not objecting to all muds that are not MUD I, since they are all doing things that, by your reckoning, were not "meant to be".
