You're probably thinking of WeChat? Which is owned by TenCent.

Lars and most of the other original people in the LPMud scene were heavy BatMUD players. :)

As one of the most annoying kids in the CD/LPMud scene I am likely still responsible for more MUDs being banned from InterMud than anyone else - I would wiz just about anywhere I could to stalk and occasionally harass friends and enemies alike. (The name Moles has been banned on most remaining CD muds since 1994.)

The one place they could never ban was the TMI/MudOS development MUD - I don't even remember what it was called, but looking at what the folks from there are doing today... boy, I should've spent a lot more time actually trying to get to know them instead of bugging the people I played with elsewhere.

Edit: xspdf.com is the evil site I mentioned earlier, not xpdfreader.

Xpdf tools have been a lifesaver for ages. Thank you Derek et all!

High five! You may win the Ann Arbor story thing.

I think Andy (dros) is a Linux filesystem contributor working at NetApp. Definitely interesting stuff from many of the monkey.org users all over the interwebs!

Yep! From birth to CHS graduation in 99, then moved to California with the Versity.com team who went on to found Stubhub and Twilio without me.

A more Ann Arbor story there is not!

I don't know anything specifically about monkey.org but I went to high school with the user "dros" in the late 90's when local BBS's (Grex and M-Net) were still kind of cool and it was even cooler to have your own.

Quoting https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html

"Some services, such as IAM, do not support Regions; therefore, their endpoints do not include a Region."

There was a partial outage maybe a month and a half ago where our typical AWS Console links didn't work but another region did. My understanding is that if that outage were in us-east-1 then making changes to IAM roles wouldn't have worked.

I mean it's not everything, give them a little time though.
