I was on the Essex MUD via JANET (Joint Academic Network) as an undergrad at Cambridge in late 87. IIRC there was a "shout" feature that broadcast a message to all users. I used to troll by shouting "VMS is way better than Unix"! Quite a few Essex MUDers would rise to the bait :)
Bonus JANET trivia: IIRC the email addrs were back to front, so my email addr was something like uk.ac.cam.chu@jos.
- grumblepeet 9y agoAha! Found you troll! I work for Jisc, who run Janet (note lower case now). We’ve sorted out the email addresses now ;). When I was at UWE there was a major MUD which ran on a server under some guys desk, don’t know the name of it, but the guy spent a LOT of time on it.
