KaVir said:Any more news on this, Scandum? I've heard nothing more, no other sites seem to use it, and even your crawler appears to have stopped updating.
20 muds supporting telnet, and 17 supporting plain text. I only run the crawler whenever I add a new mud to the crawl list.
It's slow going, not sure if there's anything that can be done to speed it up.

Well you could spruce the list up a bit, perhaps even organise it more like a proper searchable mud database. If you look around the TMC and TMS forums there are numerous mud requests from players, simply because many things aren't covered by the listings. You could use that to find ideas for extending MSSP with new optional fields. There is clearly a demand that existing mud listing sites aren't supplying, and if you set a strong example it'll increase the chances of others following.
Is the MSSP list used by tintin at all? If not, that might be another way to get people interested in supporting the protocol.
Have you tried pushing the idea on other forums, encouraging muds to join up and providing them with links to easily-installable MSSP snippets?

Since I've been out of the loop the last six months, I was wondering how this was going as well, because when I stepped back from everything, this was still a bit controversial.
Did MudBytes end up implementing this as the primary means of supporting their MUD listing? Did you ever hear back from TMC?

It's definitely not implemented as a primary means of supporting a MUD listing. Far to few MUDs on our listing support it. However! Those that do are given another page here which generates a cloud of the MSSP tags for surfin

Mudpedia uses some of MSSP's organization, and as such is a way to flesh out the fuzzy sub-genre categories. The biggest weakness of MSSP is that it's difficult to correct MUDs that add incorrect information, but a Wiki isn't the most ideal way to go about it either.
Not really interested in creating yet another mud list. The crawler page gives a free link, which is all I can offer. There is MTH which makes it fairly easy to implement MSSP, and also adds NAWS, TTYPE, and MCCP while at it.
http://mudstats.com actively promotes MSSP and links to the specification which in turn links to a bunch of resources.
