vivek, I'm not the least bit interested in becoming a blog editor. My
suggestion is a conference that people only participate in if they are
willing to have their contributions indexed by search engines.

I do like the idea of having a small mud on here. I do get sick of
having to use my large machine when I want to game (WoW is a pig, and I
could have damn-near as much fun without the big, resource intensive
graphics)

Why not a conf where articles from anywhere on the bbs, are linked in to it,
the conf itself being searchable. However, how do we control abuse?
We might wind up porting our junk on to the WWW. It will have to be
moderated in some form :(. I suggest allowing accounts with X points,
access to this facility and a limit of 1 post per month.
Perhaps this method can be used to control SPAM and abuse? Only people
willing to devote a substantial amt of time to using a account get uber
Grex facilities because they will have to build points (measure based
on time spent logged in, cpu resources consumed, commands typed, posts
posted, party lines, user feedback etc)? We could try to implement some
sort of bot-checker using tel?

Why not have a granola bar givaway? Or you could have a eco friendly
"green" contest and first prize could be a bag of trail mix!

There was a "best of" conference once, when Grex first started; it's called the
"archive" conference. The last item in it is 2001.

The problem with linking to the searchable conference is huge.
There was a big user controversy when we made Grex web accessible. That only
happened because the policy explicitly states that the items will not be
searchable on the web.
There is no way to have items cross linked between a searchable conference
and a nonsearchable one. For an item posted (whether originally or by
linking) in a nonsearchable conference, replies must be nonsearchable.
If someone linked an item from the searchable conference into a nonsearchable
one, there is no way to keep replies posted in the nonsearchable conference
from becoming searchable.
I'm not sure I'd want to, either. An item with half the replies blanked out
is pretty hard to read through.

Re #29: :) I can see why - some of them are pretty neat. No fights and on
topic.

Host? you just compile and run it. There will be some default rooms and
stuff. Of course ppl that are interested can update the room descriptions and
add new rooms but i think you need to know LPC for that..or some other MUD
language..

Isn't it a multiplayer thing that someone needs to host on a server?

What mud are we thinking of running ? I remember playing in one called
"Major Mud" on a small BBS in Austin and I believe my partner played in
several back in college.
If there is stuff that needs doing (testing, documenting, etc), I can
probably pitch in a couple of hours a week, but probably not loads more
than that.

I saw that! I'm on M-Net frequently; I just find that general has more going
on than I can keep up with.

I actually avoided general for pretty much all of last year... sticking to
sports, policy, sysop, programming, etc... I'm back in the general conference
again but only due to LIBERAL use of "forget". I recently entered items in
the tv conference about LOST and Battlestar Galactica.

Don't forget to check out the chess conference where our very own Nate
is getting his ass handed to him by tanis.
