Why not call it "The Society of Elitist Coders"?

That sounds like a pretty lame purpose. Originality is very subjective.
And do you really think you are providing a valuable service by 'warning'
people about other MUDs? I bet you won't be warning anyone about YOUR
mud. I bet YOUR mud will be one of the top recommendations.
Just let the players decide for themselves. There's no need to put down
other MUDs. How would you like it if I started a group to warn against
your mud because I thought it was unoriginal?
It's your right to put whatever you want on your web page or wherever.
But I think it is not in the spirit in which CircleMUD was intended, and I
also think its a waste of time.
