What's the counter var for?
Plus, that HTML could do with a bit of clearing up...

*edit*

You fixed it, so my criticism doesn't still stand. =p

Why do you do a for() loop for ALL mobs? Why not just clients?

this may be stupid but..
mob/verb/Who()
 for(var/mob/m)
  if(m.client)
   src <<"[src.key]"


Will work perfectly fine.

OR you could use my who verb
            who()
                src << "Online Players:[ppl]"
                for(var/mob/m)
                    if(m.client)
                        src <<"[m.key]"


Note it's tabbed

And much more efficient if you have a game full of monsters/npcs.
I normally keep a list of players logged in for various reasons e.g login times/z level of player swapmap (both from Legacy).

use [C.mob.name] and [C.key] to avoid having "the splattergnome" effect.

for(var/client/c in world)

That avoids some lines, like:
for(var/mob/m in world)
 if(m.client)

or maybe osme nerds can try this: NOTE. this is an obssessive nerd code.
for(var/mob/m in world)
 if(m.client && m.key && m.client.screen && m.client.eye && m.client.mob)
  world << "Wow. It's a real person."

Well, I don't know, but I'm guesisng it has something to do with the text box just automatically spitting out blank lines constantly. That was a problem I used to have and no one seemed to know what was going on.

Or, y'know, you can check for a client. A client is a real person, always. All those checks are useless.

It's when someone whose key starts with a lowercase letter gets "the" placed in front of their name whenever they say something.

Not just when they saying something, but any message that has the player's name in it will have "The" in front of it, such as when a player logs in/out.
