Short for Mud, Object Oriented, a specific implementation of a MUD system developed by Stephen white. MOO is in the public domain and can be freely downloaded and executed.

So it's a specific implementation of a MUD.

Calls for a music thread again, BTW.

Which I'm still against.

MOO apparently is a recursive acronym, standing for MUD Object Oriented.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Also still not for music.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Also not for music.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I think our relative musical mileages tend to vary too much for a sustained discussion with a critical mass of people.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

I have no real opinion on the matter, but should note that the big reason we were against it before was because of the already-extant threads in WXing and TT, which Fater was a big part of, IIRC.

Still, I'm inclined to think that music natter, even more than technoogy and book natter, will roam freely around the board, and that fencing it may be a self-defeating prospect.
