>Having the games spread over four sites does nobody any favours.

Firstly, there are many more than four sites providing this service.
Four advertising on rec.games.pbm, maybe. I am aware of them all
already thankyou (I have searched the archives and read the newsgroup
FAQ). The listing service we (myself, David Sharrock, Suzanna Hope and
Matty Rhea) are providing, along with the email dice roller we intend
to implement soon and the game playing forums we are organising are all
part of the content package we are developing to supplement what we
intend as a commercial operation. Our intentions to provide the pbem
and rpg community with good resources akin to those of Irony are not in
any way a cover for our primary intention, which is to launch a viable
commercial website providing useful products to people who love playing
games - I'm quite open about that. Abandoning our project in favour of
sites that may or may not survive based on their own level of
commitment simply because 'they were here first' is not a particularly
convincing argument. Providing additional similar sites to those that
already exist allows for greater choice for the pbemers who need them
and discourages monopolisation. Let gamers vote with their feet and may
he or she who provides the most commendable and useful set of resources
prevail :)
