I decided against Advertising in the PBM Report only because it looked
as if It's A Crime! might be delayed even further. It turns out that
preliminary testing went better than expected and the game checked out
"Bug Free". By then, it was too late to make the issue of the PBM
Report.
The company pays for all ads in Paper Mayhem, but The PBM Report is
still unknown to them. (Actually, to me also. I have still yet to see
a copy). I decided to pay for an ad out of my own pocket until the
owners could see what the PBM Report had to offer to us and what we
could do for it.
Our missing the ad in now way has anything to do with my concerns with
The PBM Report or with Ken. I still plan to come up with something for
a future issue.
Also, our Web Site is very extensive. The It's A Crime! page was
created mainly to test the waters and see if IAC was still as popular
as it once was. The response has been very good. Good enough in fact
to re-launch It's A Crime! again.
Anyone wishing to have a flyer or jump into Game#1, you can email me

Thanks!
