I visited the sight and was both impressed and appalled (at the same
time) with the architecture; impressed at how well it works
(technically) and appalled at the new levels of security and
usability issues it introduces to the MUD genre. This goes into my
"quite-a-hack" category.  I would _never_ install anything like this
anywhere, unless I was the only programmer. :-)

Could you share with us what your design goals were for this system? 
What were you specifically trying to accomplish, and why this model
was selected over others?

Thanks,
Randy
