article MUD

Much of the text on this page applies equally to all MOOs, or indeed all MUD-like systems. None of this seems to be relevant to LambdaMOO in particular. Any votes? If I don't hear of anyone, I'll incorporate some of this into MUD. -- Timwi 12:01 15 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Dividing content among MUD, MOO, and LambdaMOO

Obviously whatever facts are common to all MUDs should be in the MUD article, and whatever is specific to MOOs should be under that topic, and this one should only discuss things that are particular to Lambda.

I lack the expertise to draw the MUD/MOO line, because I'm only familiar with MOOs. I'll read the MUD article, though, and see if I can make a start at proper modularization here. ACW 23:03, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Curio

Some curio - an oblique MOO reference in wikimedia: Friends of lesbians and gays should not be allowed to edit articles An An 04:22, 21 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I must be missing it. Even checked old revisions. Hmmm? -Etoile 03:20, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Under "Types of vandals", "Friends of gays"... second bullet. - UtherSRG (talk) 03:27, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merged with MOO, for now

Content has been merged with MOO, though I would support a move back to it's own article with additional content. It lives on as a legend in my memory of MOOs and MUDs, but I suppose there are many. ∴ here…♠ 19:52, 28 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to expand on the lambdaMOO article, i'm sure it would warrent its own article, its just because we wanted to make a comprehencive MOO article, because i one MOO has its own page, they al want one (there was six at one point, and then deleting them all had to happen). —preceding unsigned comment by 172.188.21.72 (talk • contribs) 20:58, October 28, 2005 (UTC)

Unmerged - I have now unmerged it since many feel it deserves its own article, I have cleaned up MOO (hopefully well), however I am no lambda expert so please help clean this article. Thanks! Ian13 22:04, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Petition system/Arbitration

Where does this date of January, 1996 come from for the petition & arbitration system? Pavel/Haakon wrote "LambdaMOO Takes A New Direction" in 1992, and I recall the petition system as early as 1993. Certainly classic disputes like *Gru.vs.SamIam happened long before 1996, since I remember them and I stopped being an active LambdaMOO member by 1994. There is definitely some inaccuracy here.Ryandaum 05:27, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. Arbitration was a result of *B:Arbitration (#50392), written by Grump (#122). The date given is [Last edited before the system kept track of the time] and time was definitely being recorded before 1996. -Etoile 00:25, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Good times, good times.... - UtherSRG (talk) 01:05, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A cite for *B:Arbitration closing on 6/2/1993. -MalcolmGin Talk / Conts 13:38, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Missing details

This could use some more details on the technology. Does it run on custom software? What sort of MOO is it using? Whence the name "LambdaMOO"? (Is it written in some sort of functional language, or did some of the early people like said languages, or what?) --Gwern (contribs) 04:57 17 December 2006 (GMT)

I assume that by "what sort of MOO is it using" you mean what server? That would be the Lambdamoo server, actually. I'll see if I can fill in some technical information. ("Lambda" has little to do with the language it's written in, but I'll try to fill that in somewhere too.) -Etoile 02:02, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Social issues

What do people think about the inclusion of a section on social issues - eg the use of feature objects, the way guests are used by players to preserve anonymity while engaging in sexual adventures, the sex life of MOOers, Scrabble, infamous characters like Shard, Lady-Dawn and so on and so on --Totorotroll (talk) 11:24, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Change of website, dead references

The LambdaMoo Unofficial webpage domain expired. http://lambda.moo.mud.org/ seems to me to be an unmaintained website for LambdaMoo, I could be wrong but a glance is all I gave it. http://www.moo.mud.org/ gives more information about the server software. The LambdaMoo MUD is still active and I have a character for it as well. I think this page needs a little updating as alot of the information has migrated. If nobody contests it I'm going to change the lambdamoo.info to lambda.moo.mud.org in the next few days. 65.130.172.7 (talk) 06:53, 25 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Lambdamoo.info does appear to be inactive for this project. It is now a french site. Google Translate gave me no indication that it now has anything to do with this. Obviously, this means the map that once resided there is no longer available either. Thornbrier (talk) 20:28, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Change of LambdaMOO founding

"LambdaMOO was founded in late 1990 or early 1991"

My player's interpolated first connection to LambdaMOO is January 7, 1991 (Object #1449). That was fairly early on but it certainy had been around for more than a week, so I'll change this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stevenjowens (talk • contribs) 19:09, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Over 300?

300 was a hard limit for logins on LambdaMOO for quite some time. Never more than 300 were connected at a single time.

Nowadays the MOO is lucky to see 20% of those original numbers. 71.172.145.107 (talk) 23:20, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
