The Builder Academy is foremost a training academy for anyone 
willing to learn or teach how to build a virtual World. Due to our 
success and the stagnation of the CircleMUD codebase we have also 
released our code for anyone desiring a stable and functional 
codebase. 

   tbaMUD is the continued development of the codebase formerly 
known as CircleMUD. And we use it to mean both the Academy for 
training, and the codebase that is made freely available to the 
community.

   The most challenging aspect of running a mud is finding good 
builders. You will hear this from the admin of every MUD that has 
ever been. In the past it has always been up to each individual MUD 
to find and usually train their own builders. This works, but I 
think the MUDding community can come up with something better. That 
is why I created The Builder Academy.

   TBA has trained 1000's of builders and has an extensive tutorial 
and help file system. No pressure, no deadline, just come learn, 
teach, or help develop the tbaMUD codebase. Give back to the 
community we have all taken so much from. TBA is a MUDding resource. 
Take advantage of it so we can improve the entire MUDding community. 

   TBA can also be used by other MUDs as a builder's port. Just send 
us your newbie builders. We will teach them and then you can have 
them back with the zones they built.

   We are always open to anyone willing to learn, teach, or help 
develop our newly released tbaMUD codebase (the codebase formerly 
known as CircleMUD).
