FL MUD Development History

Diku MUD

FL Mud traces it's roots back to Diku, and then SillyMUD.  In the early 1990's FL MUD started as a SillyMud derivative.  It has since had the following periods of development:

1. 1991 - 1995:  During this early years FL remained very similar to SillyMud.  This version of FL MUD remains free for distribution and reuse.  It is now online here.
2. 1996 - 2000:  By 1996 Paul Cole, Jonathan Monteleone (Mulac), and Joel McQuilliams had made enough changes to the mud that it made the translation from a heavily modified SillyMud, to being not recognizable as a SillyMUD.  The pace of change continued greatly, with other MUDs being developed was FL MUD as an inspiration and a source of ideas for them.
3. 2001 - 2007:  This was a time of great growth, development, and turmoil for FL MUD.  Different Administrators, including Hummel, Darwin, Vishnu "Vengeance" Persaud, and Nighfall managed FL.  
4. 2008 - Pressent:  FL MUD is now back.
