No.  My favorite mud isn't publicized, and the users and the administrators
are pretty happy about that.

There are a lot of, say, MOO and MUSH servers out there that have
substantial steady user bases that are not seeking publicity.  JHM isn't in
mudconnector, and I don't think anyone really cares whether it gets listed
there; the one I care most about now will be actively pissed off if it gets
listed.  Obviously stealth will distort those kinds of statistics, but I
have this gut feeling that the more social muds will care more about being
stealthy in the long term.
