Since we're wasting bandwith on this *stupid* subject, there's two good reasons why we object to two-page ads for muds with implementors that act like they're still in high school. 1) That letter is being sent all over the net to everyone that subscribes to this list. 2) Because there needs to be some precedent set. If we allow these boys to spam all our mailboxes with "200 levels! 9 races! clans!", then how can we tell the next 500 people that want to do this 'no'? We can't. If we allow these boys to do this once...how can we tell then 'no' again? We can't. Personally, i would not like this somewhat decent list to deteriorate into chaotic diarrhea that calls itself 'rec.games.mud.diku' I'm not trying to be a prick, in fact, i rarely speak up about what goes on here...but advertising is going just a *bit* too far.

It's the immaturity displayed in your last statement that marks the division between the men and the boys. If you can't take a little constructive criticism from people who are here to help you, then what are you going to do in real life? Jeremy J. Jubenville (Antioch@Dark Chronicles [dc.iglou.com 4000])
