If you have any issues in regards to 1stMud, please bring them up to me. I am the co-owner of 1stmud, and right now the other owner, Markanth (Ryan) is currently on a personal leave from the internet, leaving the complete project in my hands. I know that Markanth has tried to give credit to everyone who has contributed to his 1stmud release, and if there are issues with that, let me know, and I will address them.
