    The lesson from Habitat (an early sorta-mud) is that no central
    community can do all the building for the users.

    Vworlds/muds is the producer/consumer world.  It would be an
    incredible dull world if everything came prebuilt.  But it's not
    going to happen that way.  As long as there is a fairly easy
    way for people to manipulate their vworlds, they will do so.
