The following review is the opinion of the review's author [Random Thoughts] and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff.

I have been at TBA for quite a while now and am now a Junior
Staff Member there.  When I first came to TBA it was to learn
to use DG Scripts, and I found that I enjoyed sharing what I
knew about the other aspects of MUD building with those that
needed the info.  What brought this about in me is the way the
staff that was already there treated me and helped me learn.

This MUD isn't there for players, though there is a player's
port.  This MUD is to teach people how to build, or give them
a place to build.  The Owners and Implementors invite other
MUD owners and Imps to send their players to use to build, and
not even have to make their own builder's port.  They can come
to us, be taught, have their zone reviewed for typos and clarity,
and then it can be zipped up and sent with the builder back to
their own MUD.  Or if you aren't already part of a MUD and just
want to learn to build, or even teach, you are welcome to drop
in.

The zones that are built on TBA belong to the builder, but with
permission will be available for download to the mud community
in general and all zones that have permission for download are
included in the stock distribution of the CWG Buddha download, 
which is the coder's version of TBA.

Come, chat, learn, teach, build.  That's what this place exists
for.

(The following review comment is the opinion of the comment's author [Rumble] and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff).

Over the years TBA has had a handful of builders that are talented
enough with trigedit to abuse the system. Random was one of those few.
Luckily, he meant no real harm and he was quickly promoted due to his
knowledge and understanding of trigedit and building in general.
Random has been a big help with both TBA and CWG.
