When our contributors brag about how much content they've removed,  
we're through the looking glass.

I just created a brand new article on the MUD Threshold. There turn  
out to be all sorts of blog posts about it from really notable MMOG

And I even avoided reading the old version so it couldn't be tagged as  
a recreation.

Fun times.
