Why isn't the Richter scale called the "Richter Scale" anymore? - GoFuckYourself.com

Poor Richter.

Now its something like "Moment magnitude scale."

Lame.

These older magnitude scales have been superseded by the implementation of methods for estimating the seismic moment, creating the moment magnitude scale, although the former are still widely used because they can be calculated quickly.
