[in response to Greg M]
: :Am I expecting too much?
: So, I would say that if you want activity on your mailing list, you're
: going to have to find something that interests the list members, and
: start a discussion - something a bit controversial, but not too much
: so. And no, its not going to be easy, and all your effort could be for
: nothing if you don't get lucky in your topic and handling of it.
Since it seems no one's done any work for a while, here's a
suggestion: Post that you're thinking about closing down the
mud and deleting all the characters 'because it doesn't seem
like we're getting anywhere'. Then sit back and let 2 full days
of opinion remain unchecked until you respond with "J/K guys."

(the above suggestion is serious! I personally would not be
jesting about at least getting rid of the folks who aren't active
on the 'team'. they would get the picture or i'd do it. but i don't
know your whole situation. best of luck to you, Greg)
