Does anyone remember the intermud system ? https://muds.fandom.com/wiki/InterMUD

Back in the day we hooked all our muds together so people could communicate across realities.. things were more open back then.

As one of the most annoying kids in the CD/LPMud scene I am likely still responsible for more MUDs being banned from InterMud than anyone else - I would wiz just about anywhere I could to stalk and occasionally harass friends and enemies alike. (The name Moles has been banned on most remaining CD muds since 1994.)

The one place they could never ban was the TMI/MudOS development MUD - I don't even remember what it was called, but looking at what the folks from there are doing today... boy, I should've spent a lot more time actually trying to get to know them instead of bugging the people I played with elsewhere.

For sure! There even is an everything-old-is-new-again iteration of that called Grapevine.haus
