Talk:MOO

message: I thought LambdaMOO was first in fact, perhaps only in significance.  What was? ∴ here…♠ 19:56, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I have had the same thought myself, and as a MOO owner I set to find out, it seems the first (I cant confirm this) was a test MOO, which itself was rather popular, which was pulled down. I only have managed to retrieve broken bits of info, but I will make it a task to find out.
It seems it is the first 'public' MOO, however a MOO which seems to go by the name of AlphaMOO, was in existace before it. However, even if that isn't the right name - it seems the first was a test MOO for the server, and was shutdown a while ago. Ian 13 17:46, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

text: Did you find a source for this, that we might include and reference in the main article? Introducing Lambda as the second, without mention of the first, frustrates me to no end ;).  ∴ here…♠ 23:09, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: First MOO server?

message: To whom it may concern: As a user, I must insist that PythonMOO is not notable in the grand scheme of MOOs. There are maybe a dozen regular users, including myself. If you want to list notable MOOs, go for stuff like BayMOO (high-population), Rupert (SunNET hub), YibMOO (notable founder), or something... but Wikipedia is not a MOO directory. -Fennec (はさばくのきつね)
:I notice how you target PythonMOO since you are a user, yet you choose not to investigate other listed MOOs and check their notability, also it looks a little like a directory already - so why do you not choose to clean it up and improve it? Ian 13 21:59, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text:  Cleaning up and improving it is a long-term project, which I will surely work periodically, but I know that the PythonMOO entry is nonnotable now. As such, its immediate deletion can be considered the start of some cleanup and improvement work. Furthermore, it is not Wikipedia policy to fail to clean up a certain portion of an article or set of articles merely because other sections or other articles exist which are equally bad or worse. In other words, you can't say: "You can't clean this mess up because there are other messes too!" This'd paralyze the site into inaction. -Fennec (はさばくのきつね) 22:12, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the edit and recommendations Fennec, hopefully someone will consider the recommended BayMOO (high-population), Rupert (SunNET hub), YibMOO (notable founder) soon. ∴ here…♠ 02:37, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay, it seems I have misjudged the situation, I just feel if things are not proposed and voted on like in AfD, what people feel is notable can change articles. Ian 13 18:38, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  I deleted PythonMOO 

message: Can I comment that some of the information within that article seems trivial, for example the proportion of genders, since this could be done for any or all of the MOOs, it hardly seems notable or worthwhile, and just a section of reams of data, but this is my view. Ian 13 18:38, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it should stay.  I was on-the-fence about merging all these MOO articles into one in the first place see here, and I would hate to see nothing but a long series of reductions in content as a result.  The data is similar to that included in other communities (towns and cities) and is of genuine encyclopedic value.  Why delete it?  The lambdaMOO section should live on containing all that might have been included in a full article, and re-split to it's own article if warrented (further discussion on Talk:LambdaMOO).  ∴ here…♠ 19:12, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  LambdaMOO (the MOO) =

message: The page is looking really good, but one problem is the opening paragraph, which IMO is far too long.  It'd be good if it was split up a bit.  Have a look at MUD and MUSH for what I mean there.  I extracted bits from these 3 in talker and had difficulty with the MOO part.  It'd be good if the opening was a bit clearer.  Also, should the part about LambdaMOO's server be in the LambdaMOO article?  I'm not sure if it should be or not. Zordrac  (talk) Wishy Washy  Darwikinian Eventualist 03:57, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I'll take a look. Also, I would say no, since LambdaMOO (the server) is the only moo server, so splitting it (like it used to be I think), in my opinion, would make it confusing like it was before. However if someone thinks this could be done well, go ahead, but I would personally not aggree. Ian13 09:58, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: If its the only server, it should stay in the main article.  Wow, I thought that there would be more MOOs in the world than just 1 server full. Zordrac  (talk) Wishy Washy  Darwikinian Eventualist 06:21, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, all MOO servers are either ports of lambdamoo or patches on it. I will look over the first para soon too. Ian13 12:23, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Another suggestion

message: Does anyone think/agree we need a section on moo cores? We've got stuff like Jays House Core in the external links but people won't have a friggin clue what it is. Andrew Northall 06:26, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I sure don't.  Yes!  Please add ;). We can always split to another article, if warrented in the future.  ∴ here…♠ 07:12, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Go got it. Probably best to put it below the well-know moos if you ask me (called well-known cores?). Ian13ID:540053 16:43, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Moo Cores 

message: Would there be any support for th removal of the tag. The recent cleanup I preformed seems to have remained with only minor alterations, so would anyone support the removal of the tag? Ian13ID:540053 12:26, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removal of cleanup tag? 

message: It says a couple times in the article that LambdaMOO is the only server distribution, but the Foo server is widely distributed and includes a significant (though not massive) addition of features.  Generally, it's more widely used than Lambda among MOOs that are game-oriented, as opposed to community-oriented.  Regardless of its usage, though, it IS another distribution. 67.187.113.46 21:30, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh.... do you have any sources or websites? I will have a little hunt too. Ian13/talk 21:49, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Foo MOO Server 

message: Hi sorry if I'm doing this wrong, never posted on a wikipedia talk page before.  I am the founder of HellMOO.  We've been around 4 years, have the most complex RPG yet implemented on a MOO, have over 4000 players, and peak at 80 active players simultaneous.  Surely this qualifies us to be a 'notable MOO'.  We've done some things in MOOcode that have never been done before.  Our system creates and destroys almost 1,000 objects per hour.  We have a complex weather simulation, an AI economy with autonomous agents, a queueing action system, and much more that is 'of note', I should think.
Yet when we try to add HellMOO to the 'list of notable MOOs' on this page, it gets reverted.  Why is that?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.202.63.191 (talk) 02:31, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  HellMOO 

message: I revered the spelling "correction" that changed object oriented to object orientated. Object Oriented Programming is a very common programming paradigm and is spelled correctly. Oriented and orientated are completely different words. --Mpdelbuono (talk) 19:20, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Object Oriented 

message: I just came across MOO while looking through pages and I have no clue why it is.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Monfisher (talk • contribs) 21:06, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Definition of MOO or Origin of Name 

message: In your list of Notable MOO's I find it odd that there is no mention of ATHEMOO, which was an important MOO for online performance. It was started in 1995 at the University of Hawaii. Link to that information is here. There is also a section of captured performance taken from ATHEMOO here. There is also information on ATHEMOO in the book, "Cyberspace Issues of Teaching, Acting and Directing", Chapter on Athemoo starts on page 109. 
--Joe Berwick (talk) 11:12, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  ATHEMOO  

message: The fourth paragraph begins,
One of the most distinguishing features of a MOO is that its users can perform object-oriented programming within the server, ultimately expanding and changing how the server behaves to everyone.[4]
I question whether the word 'object-oriented' is limiting or descriptive in this context.  Is the distinguishing feature user-programability (regardless of programming language)?  Is the term MOO meant to distinguish from earlier, user-programmable MUD-like systems?
