Anyone have a good definition for "Mudflation"?

A link would be good.

I think that's a word you might have made up; there are literally two hits on google for it: an a post on some anime forum, and a post by you, here on F13, in 2008.

Maybe you mean Mudflation?

[Mrbloodworth]

I sure do, thanks!

[Sheepherder]

Presumably you need to describe the concept to someone?

[WindupAtheist]

Now I wanna know what the old word was!

Simon Ludgate's recent article on faucets is quite useful.

The root of mudflation is that your faucets have to be larger than your drains, probably even infinite. Mr Ludgate does a very good job of explaining why.

Mudflation is the term used to describe inflation in MMOs.
