We need to get MUDs more popular again. But that would require getting Telnet popular again.

But why? You don't need telnet to transfer text.

Because a MUD that isn't part of a BBS feels wrong to me.

It means Multi User Dungeon. It's a networked multiplayer game, usually focused on dungeon-crawling as the name suggests. Early ones were based heavily on BD&D and AD&D, but others got more creative.
