Talk:MOO
Other forms of Moo(ing)
Remember that cows go moo. This might indeed be an important note for purposes of text disambiguation, especially if in some very humane and technologically advanced epoch (even one possibly occuring very soon) cows can access the internet and might go searching for the origin of the word "moo" in relation to their species and original quadroped form.

Merge
As proposed recently by Kipper2258 and RoySmith merge links have been posted. This is designed to make one comprehensive page, rather than many scattered ones.
- I am not a party to this proposal, and object to the implication that I am. I believe I mentioned the idea in passing at one time in association with one of the various deletion votes for PythonMOO, but I am certainly not in support of the current propsal. --RoySmith 15:14, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
I quote from Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion/Phantasy_World: Comment: It might be worth looking at the whole "List of popular MOOs" section at MOO. While I think the general concept of MUDs and MOOs is encyclopedic, individual ones probably aren't. There is some interesting historical material in LambdaMOO, and (to a lesser extent) LinguaMOO and MediaMOO, but overall I'm thinking it would make sense to merge the significant parts from those individual articles into MOO and have one good article instead of a smattering of trivial ones. I'm not sure, however, if that discussion is in-scope for this particular VfD. --RoySmith 13:25, 6 August 2005 (UTC)
- Sorry, and yes, it was mentioned during one of the many MOO article deletions (PythonMOO, PhantsyWorld), but sorry if you feel that this is misplaced. I recall you mentioning merging all articles (apart from maybe LambdaMOO), but nonetheless okay. Out of interest who decides whether it should all be merged? The merge article implies that it can be done by anyone with support from talk.
- I would recommend that you just be bold and perform the merge. None of the articles involved in the proposed merge are actively being editted, and most are just stubs, so acting independently would hardly be considered a reckless act. --Allen3 talk 17:42, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
- Okay, thanks, I will.
- Oops, will rvv my own on LambdaMOO, see that all the content is here. ∴ here…♠ 19:48, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

Okay, all complete, and forwards have been set-up (including recreation of previously deleted articles for redirection by admin). I have marked it for cleanup, since I probably won't be able to do a good job myself, and it needs doing. Good luck to whoevers task it becomes.
First MOO server?
I thought LambdaMOO was first in fact, perhaps only in significance. What was? ∴ here…♠ 19:56, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
- I have had the same thought myself, and as a MOO owner I set to find out, it seems the first (I cant confirm this) was a test MOO, which itself was rather popular, which was pulled down. I only have managed to retrieve broken bits of info, but I will make it a task to find out.
What does this mean ?
LambdaMOO was created on the famous Xerox PARC (Palo Alto Research Center) by Pavel Curtis
Xerox PARC is a building, a center, not a machine something runs on.
