I think that providing an interface on the web is a good, idea as many 
newbies to the mud world are most likely familiar with the web and might 
find it easier to read the "how to" and intro to the stats system in a web 
page rather than being spammed with them in a telnet window.  Also they 
might have found your mud via looking at your web presence and it is a nice 
low cost way to get them to create a character.


Would be interesting to see the increase or decrease in new characters once 
this is implemented.  Could we register a callback with you and have you 
send forth the stats once you have your system up and running for a while?
