MUD = Multi-User Dungeon. Basically it is an online text based RP game. There may be other types of muds that I am not aware of.

Mods could be many things, Moderator, Modifications, etc.

Bots are also a widely varied category. There are good bots and bad bots. Bots can apply to almost anything, for example on IRC many bots are hidden on hacked computers/servers and used to serve files that are dumped to the compromised machine. These bots fire up automatically upon boot and/or detection of an internet connection. There are also bots that scour the world wide web collecting information for advertisers or other persons/businesses. The list goes on and on.
