ROM (MUD)

 * Page was misspelled on VFD. I fixed it. No vote. --FCYTravis 6 July 2005 06:48 (UTC)
 * Delete, nn. DikuMUD is encyclopedic, as are CircleMud and some other major derivates, but just about any mud had it's own slight variation on the code. Radiant_ &gt;|&lt; July 6, 2005 13:58 (UTC)
 * Keep. ROM is a major deriv, and is the most widely used codebase today. It is also very different codewise from it's predecessors. Far from not notable. 68.102.56.55 20:32, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, seems to be a popular derivative, I looked at mudmagic's game list sorted by codebase at http://www.mudmagic.com/listings/codebase/ and it seems to be the most popular category, doubling the runner-up. Looking on The MUD Connector finds a few hundred MUDs using ROM too. Atari2600tim 08:10, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
 * However, I think the authors listed in the article shouldn't be wikilinks when there's nothing else notable about them. It needs some minor modification, but not deleted. Atari2600tim 08:14, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
