The MUD community has two big portals for indexing MUDs: MUD Connector, and TopMudSites. TopMudSites already advertises 4-5 MUDs on rotation in the form of 728x90 banner ads which are not too intrusive. We could put an ad for DW into that set.<\/p>\n<p>I wanted the ad to be pixel arted <span class=\"text_exposed_show\">and look a bit like DW's home page- skulls and fire! And be animated.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"text_exposed_show\">\n<p>After drafting up most of it I went through iterations with the MUD administrator until getting the final version which was sent to TMS.<\/p>\n<p>I was worried it would not be accepted, if they thought the skull was too much or having a mild curse be in the hostname would be an issue. But I'm happy to say they accepted the ad and it's up there now! The site administrators were kind enough in letting me sign up for extra time so it will be up for a while- about 2 years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<a href=\"#!\" onclick=\"QuickGallery_fn_onGalleryEnter([&quot;https:\/\/cml-a.com\/content\/data\/DWAdPost\/00.jpg&quot;, &quot;https:\/\/cml-a.com\/content\/data\/DWAdPost\/01.jpg&quot;, &quot;https:\/\/cml-a.com\/content\/data\/DWAdPost\/02.jpg&quot;, &quot;https:\/\/cml-a.com\/content\/data\/DWAdPost\/03.jpg&quot;, &quot;https:\/\/cml-a.com\/content\/data\/DWAdPost\/04.jpg&quot;, &quot;https:\/\/cml-a.com\/content\/data\/DWAdPost\/05.jpg&quot;, &quot;https:\/\/cml-a.com\/content\/data\/DWAdPost\/06.jpg&quot;, &quot;https:\/\/cml-a.com\/content\/data\/DWAdPost\/07.jpg&quot;, &quot;https:\/\/cml-a.com\/content\/data\/DWAdPost\/08.jpg&quot;, &quot;https:\/\/cml-a.com\/content\/data\/DWAdPost\/09.jpg&quot;, &quot;https:\/\/cml-a.com\/content\/data\/DWAdPost\/10.jpg&quot;, &quot;https:\/\/cml-a.com\/content\/data\/DWAdPost\/11.jpg&quot;, &quot;https:\/\/cml-a.com\/content\/data\/DWAdPost\/12.jpg&quot;, ], [&quot;Above: the original banner that was used for the MUD, I used for reference.
