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) --- 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:


 * Necromium
 * Tempora Heroica
 * Tempus (MUD)
 * WoTMUD

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)
 * "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)

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)


 * 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)

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)
