It would appear generalized places to discuss MUDs are narrowing a bit but MUDconnector's forums are being closed leaving r/mud and a few others for general discussion and promotions.

Hrm. Wonder how will it affect the voting. One of the reasons why a lot of votes dissapeared, is because you now need to have 5 posts on the forums, before the account becomes eligible to vote. Without forums, what happens then?

I find it interesting to chat, in general, about a specific MUD game I'm playing. I don't find it interesting to talk about all MUD games generally. I didn't frequent these forums. What sort of things were discussed?

It almost looks to me like another version of this forum with just a wider reach. Or at least what I noticed first was the series of Anti-Armageddon posts.

Either the thread was removed, or the link is wrong.
What's the title of the post?

It just took me to the forum page to show all the posts. Some of them looked like rehashes of things I've seen here, and some of them were the same type of thing apparently happening to other MUDs.

I think posting on the forums is disabled as well.
I'm sad about this. Truth be said. Aside voting and the forum, I never really used TMC for anything else. The post numbers is the only thing that prevented vote faking. So what will happen now?

I've never tried a MUD based on votes. Always based on themes. Now granted I wouldn't stay at a MUD when I got through the process and found like 3 players online, but votes weren't what would get me there.

Man, I take a vacation for a couple of weeks and an entire MUD website goes full retard.
Can't blame the moderators for giving up though. Most of those posters had some serious issues. Their choices were either to ban almost all of the active posters or leave the forum completely unmoderated. Neither choice is a good look.

Sometimes I feel like everyone who plays MUDs is a little off in the head. Not just Arm.

You're not entirely wrong. Most hardcore MUD players are antisocial assholes who are playing a game because the alternative is to live a shitty life. When games bill themselves as immersive, you get people who want to escape from reality. When games bill themselves as giving players the opportunity to do whatever they want, you get people who are inconsiderate of others' ability to enjoy the game too.
