Thanks for the new FAQ; it's a nice, more modern
complement to the classical FAQ ...

That's basically true ... Tightbeam has large lists pointing
to commercial game web pages; The PBeM News has a large list
pointing to free game web pages.

However, most vistitors come to The PBeM News to visit the
"announcements" pages. In the past, the announcements were
coursely categorized "Rpg" or "other" and "commercial" or "free."

Commercial announcements have always been welcome; they were
just mixed up with all the other announcements. Recently, many
more categories were added and commercial announcements have been
partitioned into their own section. The result is that there's
now much better support and visiablitiy for different kinds of
RPG games, non-rpg games, and commercial games in the site's
announcement section.

Commercial Game announcements expire in 30 days; that makes
the area perfect for _ brief _ monthly announcements. The
service is free and I invite and encourage all to use it.
