Man, I'm going to sound like a sour old fart here, but I remember the
same complaints on MUD-Dev (back in the JCL days) when it stopped
being invite-only.

The traffic here is much lower than the original MUD-Dev, in its
heyday, and I expect that this sort of noise will settle out in time.

The best cure, though, I think, is to boost signal.

What say some legitimate technical discussions?
