Do you really need to know C to enter 'autorun &' ?? :) Ofcoz up to the main coder [or whoever admin. the account the MUD is running on] to tell those who do have account access, how to start the MUD again, if totally crash... Let the bugs be there to be fixed by a coder, who know his/her stuff and got a clue about the code. > So now your loyal followers (All 100 of them that you've got on at a time > (Keep dreamin baby)) are mega pissed and you lose, say, 80 of them.. all > because YOU don't know what the f*** a syntax error is! If you tell them nicely that there is a bug problem and that the MUD can crash without notice, plus that you will inform the coder that there is a crash bug, then they have to be totally stupid not to stay [If the MUD is worth it ofcoz :) ] .. Any MUD player who know the ways MUDs are, also know the crashes will come and go..
