FluffMUCK Musings

FluffMUCK has been around a long time. Occasionally I (Zorin) get nostalgic about it, and tweet random musings about the MUCK and its history. I figured I'd collect the better ones on this page for folks to enjoy.

Being a MUCK wizard wasn't all sunshine, roses and toading sticks. :) #FluffMUCK

Bwahaha, I'm merging a couple of quotes files, and found this hilarious moment from 22 years ago.

I miss the golden age of MUCKing so much. #FluffMUCK pic.twitter.com/fWynar9uvg

In retrospect, that wasn't something very good to brag about.

Another mid-90s FluffMUCK button, thanks to @Rieshal who found it among his stuff while packing to move! pic.twitter.com/UX2KNPZXp9

My last retweet reminded me of the "y2k" command on FluffMUCK, which told people how many days until 2000.

The command still works, but obviously the results are negative. Note the number of days is one year greater because it was counting "down" to January 1, 2000. pic.twitter.com/282myuQSq7

Mid-90s FluffMUCK stuff!

- One of the buttons that was handed out at FC'99 and some other cons.
- The Am5x86 CPU that was in FluffMUCK's server, mid-to-late 90s.
- Some memory from said server.

Yes, I'm a sentimental old fool. :) pic.twitter.com/oxnHlGBrrL

Poking around on FluffMUCK’s server, I noticed the status (connection) log was solid and unbroken since 2003.

So I did some sed, awk, grep, and uniq -c and I hereby present to you:

“Jail”, on FluffMUCK, where you go if you rob someone on the MUCK. Amused at the junk that ended up there. (NSFW) pic.twitter.com/eIOXCft6IT
