1. Why is every mud down?

The list that is maintained by mudconnector doesn't have any muds that are online. Is anyone else experiencing this as well? Is there another source for muds besides mudconnector? I can't even find one that works! They all timeout. Ok, I did find one, but it had banned some major ISPs... *sigh* =)

2. You mean ' Why can't I connect to any mud?'

The claim that all 1700+ muds on listed on Mud Connector are offline is rather difficult to believe.

In fact, it is not true - I've just connected to one to make absolutely certain.

I think the fault is rather more likely to lie with you than with the muds (or with Mud Connector).

Also if you're behind a proxy server then it might not be resolving the names properly. Search the web for online dnlookup and get the ip #'s to use.

I think I know where this person is coming from. When the connect link is clicked, a new window pops up with an error (for me at least, I am not sure if it is 100% of the time). I just look for the MUD addy on the site and paste it into my client.

Actually, at last check about 85% of the list was reachable by our spider, that was last night (it runs every night).

I believe your problem was due to Microsoft IE not knowing how to handle script-issued redirection to a telnet url. Older versions of MSIE had no problem, but thats no surprise *sigh* - anyway, this was recently fixed.

If you are having problems finding a mud that you can connect to on here, I'd suggest checking http://www.kyndig.com
The folx at Kyndig have a java connect option and they also run a spider on their listing.
If you can't connect to a mud at all however, a different listing isn't going to do you any good. I'd suggest checking the things that the other responses to your message listed: check for updates to your version of your web browser, check your proxy if you're behind one, check your dns resolving if you aren't directly connected to the internet; you might have to use the actual IP address #'s.

If none of those work, then try a different listing, like the one at kyndig.com.
