The first Circle I got was long before I even knew about the mailing list
or any other place to get information. It came in a zip file on a cd with
the stock documentation. Thats where I first learned all the stuff needed
because that was my only resource that I knew of.
Hell, I even printed it all out and made a notebook with tabs and stuff
to find the information easier. Can't remember how many times I read those
docs! OLC? Yea, I got online with the computer and typed in all the zone
files and stuff for years. Then when the internet took off, I decided to
do a little looksee what I can find on muds online. And boy did I hit the
jackpot! :) Mailing list? WHAHOO! We be rockin now! Oh, LOOK at all this
stuff on ftp.circlemud.org!! And when ya think ya found it all??
Surprise, surprise, surprise! there is a developer.circlemud.org (which went
by another name some time ago).
Geez, where has the time gone? Those days of only having the stock docs
to learn from. Mailing list archives, ftp sites, faq's/wtfaq's, web pages
galore!
And they still ask, ahh the life of laziness. (Hell, I even asked stupid
questions, but once I learned where to look, I only asked when I could
not find the answer)


So, yes those documents are very valuable if people would just read them!
