Talk about the game here, and put an entry for it on the PBM List, and
your GM may not need to advertise at all.

I was only talking about special advertising for games which wanted to
stand out from all the rest using fancy advertising. That's what
the moderator of Sol III asked for, if I read his posting correctly.

Yes, and that's what this group has supported for many years already.
What's wrong with the status quo on Usenet?
