This is ridiculous (not flaming here, just commenting), this list is here
for mud administrator (if I am wrong let me know), not just coders, that
means that someone without any kind of C knowledge at all could post a
question regarding obj, wld, shp, mob or zon files and would be
completely ON-TOPIC (just as the earlier question about Elven Woods), I
think trying to limit the list to C coders only because you know C
already is kinda discriminating, a lot of people start their muds not
knowing a thing about C and either learning on the way (the way I did) or
trying to find a coder to help them out modify the source.
I agreee that coding is the best way to modify a Mud, but it should be
noted that it is not the only way, and if this is a C-on-circlemud list
only I'd like to know it.
BTW, this is not a flame, I've learnt a lot with this list and the only
thing that annoys me is the people who have given themselves the task of
finding off-topic messages in every message (they will probably call this
off-topic).
I just want you to remember that the only reason you don't have 'NEWBIE
CODE:' questions is either because you knew C before setting up your Mud
or because you had noone to help you out with them when you did have
them. Don't slam the newbies with the "if you want to run circle go learn
C first" because thats childish.
