History

Gizmo Mud is a direct descendant of the oldest of Diku Muds. Over the years her codebase has been heavily modified by generations of coders. Gizmo seems to attract the best coders, and the modifications reflect that. Gizmo has been stably running since 1996. Currently our uptime record is around 300 hours, but we like to reboot the areas once every five or six days. Here is a chart of some of the major happenings.
