• Delete even worse considering that it was apparently founded in 2000 and thus has that number of players after six years! Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 12:38, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

• Neutral I am neutral on whether or not this article should be deleted. But, I think I object to criteria on which the game's popularity/relevance is being based. A forum cannot reveal that much about the game's historical popularity. It is a MUD; most of its users will exist on the MUD itself, not on the forum. I visited the forum of another MUD on Wikipedia having just 75 members, but the MUD itself was famous. Moreover, how do you propose to judge the MUD's historical popularity based on its current popularity? I doubt many people play the Atari 2600 now, but Wikipedia has quite a few articles based on it and its games. Those games qualify based on the fact that they were popular at one point in their history. Those articles cannot be judged on the current popularity of their subjects, so upon which factors do decide that it is alright to base the judgement of this article on the game's current popularity? - wyrlum 18:39, 13 July 2006

Comment:: Hmm... why? Are there rules against the page creator commenting on the deletion page of his own article? - wyrlum 19:36, 13 July 2006

Comment no, there aren't. Percy Snoodle 08:48, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Comment The forum was the best method available to assess the number of players If you could prove that you have had over 1000 distinct players at any point in your game's history, or otherwise satisfy the criteria at WP:WEB, I'd happily change my vote. However, my guess is that your maximum players+admins = 113. Percy Snoodle 08:48, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
