EWTOO versus NUTS

The two major code types for telnet (or telnet-style) internet talkers are ewtoo and nuts. Both of these codes have been around in different varients since the early 1990's. Ewtoo started out as Cheeseplant's House in 1992. After the closure of that, a staff member of CH started up a talker named Elsewhere (which turned into the modern day Foothills) and the second version of elsewhere-style code turned into the ewtoo version of code. Nuts also started out during this time, and has also had many different varients and additions to the basic code.

Some major differences between the two codes are:

  • ewtoo commands are words, while nuts requires you put a . in front of the word, or you can use alternate modes to not do this.
  • in ewtoo, the focus is more on your private rooms, and main rooms tend to be relatively empty and quiet, while in nuts, the main room is the focus of the talker
  • there is one news board in ewtoo, while in nuts code, EACH room offers its own message board, as well as a news system from the staff.
  • staff in ewtoo tend generally to be more aloof and hidden than nuts staff, but of course that depends on the personalities involved.
  • both codes feature a multitude of socials.
  • nuts lets you use different modes, such as command and speech. There is not any similar command in ewtoo.

Which code is better? NUTS code swear by their code with a passion rarely seen on the internet, while ewtoo users often think of them as nightmarish because of the . on them. Ewtoo users are intensely backing of their code varients as well (of which ewtoo has many).

NUTS talkers seem to have grown an astounding degree in recent years. With the additions of the popular Amnuts base code, many talkers now feature full colour interfaces and many games.

Two roads winding down a river valley, yet never merging or intersecting...until NOW.

EUTS is the first talker to revolutionize talker code by combining the two most popular code types on the internet. While giving each mode the commands they are used to, the best ideas from both codes are combined here to provide a talker experience unlike any other.
