Going back through this thread brings back a lot of good memories!
This is likely one of my more "final" posts, an update on what I have brewing right now. I feel I owe it to these forums and
the many people I've talked to here to make this post, even though many are gone, it seems some still remain so here it is if anyone cares anymore.
Firstly, I don't plan to make anything Arm related anymore, since I don't play and if you watched my last Arm video you'll know why. However, my YouTube
channel will be more active as I get some free time.
www.youtube.com/delerak I'm shifting my focus solely to MUDs in a last ditch effort to bring as much attention to them as I can. Asides from live streaming myself
building on FutureMUD and chatting about MUDs I will try to do some videos here and there, whatever I can to "wake up" the mudding community a bit.
Here is a small list of other things I'm working on:
-I made a new subreddit r/multiuserdungeon
www.reddit.com/r/multiuserdungeon/ Basically my posts were/are being removed from r/MUD. My messages to the moderators
have gone ignored for the past month. I think since I lost my original account the posts
are being auto-removed but again I messaged the moderators and got nothing back. What is the point of having a subreddit
if you aren't going to actively moderate it or be present? This is where I will be posting the majority of my videos, articles, thoughts/comments
from now on. I will still visit r/MUD but if there is no moderators there that is a huge issue that needs to be addressed.
-Started a MUD blog over at
multiuserdungeon.wordpress.com/ where I will write out articles or thoughts as I find the motivation to do so. The first one is already up.
-I am tossing around some ideas of hosting a MUD convention in tandem with DragonCon next year. It's far enough away that it's just an idea but it would
be interesting to host a general MUD meetup at DragonCon for an hour or two. Also I want to get a table at DragonCon and pass out cards, shirts, flyers etc.
-With relation to the above I'm thinking there needs to be a MUD Alliance of some sort that works on advertising the genre and working towards increasing
overall awareness but other then that being an idea as well I don't know where to start other then with my blog for now. For instance if I get a table
at DragonCon what am I passing out? I'm not here to advertise for a single MUD, but to champion all MUDs in general. So there needs to be a website that does that
as well (ie: Mud Alliance).
I will continue to monitor this thread and respond here to any questions/comments but I prefer Discord these days as it is much simpler for communication.
I hope all is all with everyone and wish you all the best in life and your endeavors!
