The purpose of this list is to support the ROM distribution. If ROM were 
released in this century, then this list would likely be a web-based forum. :)



Sadly, most of the old resources are no longer. Here are some snippets:

http://www.algonet.se/~rnen/mud/nfcode.html

http://thevedic.net/mud/new/

http://islands.freehosting.net/snippets.html

http://olc.wolfstream.net/

http://the-infinite.org/archive/

http://ftp.game.org/cgi-bin/directory?/pub/mud


these two are new, but promising:

http://www.mudbytes.net/

http://www.mudsnippets.net/


and some general (required) reading:

http://www.raphkoster.com/gaming/index.shtml

http://www.mud.co.uk/richard/


There is a glaring omission above, but I'll not promote psychopaths. :)
And, btw, if you're getting list related spam, it may because he's seen 
fit to include 'ROM snippets' that are complete posts from this list, 
headers and all. Certainly, without my permission.



As far as options, the most common recommendation on this list is:

http://www.flugh.com/quickmud/

There are many other derivatives, including my own. I suspect the quietude 
here is largely due to new IMPs starting out further down the road.

Still, I've never found these new-fangled fora to be as friendly, helpful, 
or knowledgeable as the folks here, and we did have some good times. My 
thanks to all, especially Gabrielle, Brian and Russ.




As always,
Sandy


PS: Sounds a bit of a eulogy, doesn't it? But you did say "sating", not 
"starting". :)
