Simply put, when you are not in Mudchat, you can't read what is being said, and you can't see what has been said afterward. That gave rise to some individuals being pretty nasty to others. Many left Mudchat and some even left Mudcat over the crap going on.

The management is well aware of the problem and it's consequences.

Will it be back? Who knows? In a different form? I, for one, sure hope so, because accountability for ones words and actions in a chat is paramount to it's future.
