As of this posting, all 3 of the FUSS codebases now support MSSP Plaintext.
For those of you who may be unfamiliar with what this is, MSSP stands for Mud Server Status Protocol. It is designed to provide data to crawlers for use on MUD listing sites which support the protocol. The purpose behind this is supposed to make keeping those listings up to date less of a hassle on admins. Instead of going around to every site you have a listing on, you update everything once, from inside your own game. The crawlers then show up and read the information and update as needed. That's the theory anyway, it still needs to get adopted by the major listing sites before it becomes truly useful, but at least FUSS is ready for that day to come.
Users of AFKMud need not worry, I will bring the base out of retirement to add the support for it as well, but that won't happen for another few days or so.
