This is only true on certain old style muds.  ie: ones still based on
2.4.5.  All Diku's that I know of have more structure than this and
require people to work.

Discworld definately requires creators to do something, we can (and do)
remove people from being a creator if they are not doing anything.
We run in a little less organised fashion than it sounde like retromud
does though :)

Absolutely and I think this is why so many 2.4.5 muds had such a
hard time.  As well as the base code being broken :)

Good luck!
David.
