I visited the sight and was both impressed and appalled (at the same
time) with the architecture; impressed at how well it works
(technically) and appalled at the new levels of security and
usability issues it introduces to the MUD genre. This goes into my
"quite-a-hack" category. I would _never_ install anything like this
anywhere, unless I was the only programmer. :-)
Could you share with us what your design goals were for this system?
What were you specifically trying to accomplish, and why this model
was selected over others?
Thanks,
Randy
