Active MUDs section

There are hundreds of active MUDs based off of CircleMUD. I don't think advertising a few MUD sites is a good idea. It's hardly representative of CircleMUD in general, and it's pretty much just advertisement. I'm going to remove the active MUD section, and add a link to mudconnector.com in the external links. This is a widely known site within the mudding community that provides a listing of active MUDs based off of CircleMUD and other MUD codebases. --JRavn 15:46, 21 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

--- Firstly, I have changed your link so that it actually points to the list of CircleMUDs at Mudconnector, otherwise the link is a bit pointless as the article is not about the other codebases, it is about CircleMUD.

In general, not providing any examples seems a bit strange, it seems especially crazy to not include ones that have a seperate page on Wikipedia namely:

Linking to ones that are not in Wikipedia may be considered "advertisement" so I have removed those as a compromise.

The problem with including examples is that there are so many CircleMUDs out there, how can we pick just a few as examples? What is the criteria for picking those few? If we listed all CircleMUDs, the list of external links would be huge. That's why I decided to just include an external link to a website which maintains such a list. I noticed that the MUD article has external links to all the major mud list sites, so it would probably be better to just include an internal link to that list. -- JRavn 22:09, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"What is the criteria for picking those few?" I'm sure we could work it out. A few ideas: Is the theme interesting? Has something interesting been done with the code base? Is it different somehow than the others, is it pushing the boundaries of MUD?

Essentially we start with the ones we have got and then when somebody writes others then we see if we need them all. --Zeth 22:00, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Michael Seifert

Is this Michael Seifert the article currently wiki-links to the Seifert of the original Diku team? "A multi-platinum award winning producer, writer, arranger and recording engineer based in Cleveland, Ohio." Obviously not. --Methem 19:38, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You are right. Feel free to edit articles directly next time for something obvious. No need to post it on the talk page for someone else to do. --JRavn ^talk

True. But had I edited the article, I might've just removed the links: Given the policies of Wikipedia, I'm not sure if the members of the Diku team would be considered "notable" enough in the long run to have their own articles... --Methem 17:15, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why is this redirecting to DikuMUD?

What happened to the original CircleMUD page? Circle was far more developed than Diku and that page had a lot of information. We need to initiate a restore of all that lost history. 2601:249:200:61E0:44F1:5F43:E563:F75A (talk) 05:26, 17 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
