There are three reasons I did not list this site in my earlier post
listing useful, no-cost, advertising-free sites for announcing or
finding PBEM games:

1) It's a pain to use -- you have to register again for *every* *single*
*announcement* *you* *post*.
3) It has advertisements.
4) It knowingly, intentionally uses the same name as an existing PBEM
site (PBEM News, which is ONLY located at
http://www.rpglibrary.org/news/) in a blatant, unethical attempt to
mislead people and get more money from advertisers.

Correct these three problems, and I'll be happy to recommend it,
alongside the other useful, no-cost, advertising-free sites for
announcing or finding PBEM games:

PBM/PBEM List
http://www.pbm.com/~lindahl/pbm_list/
* exhaustive: covers everything even remotely related to PBEM games
* kind of hard to find things
* no way to post follow-up questions or discussions

PBEM News
http://www.rpglibrary.org/news/
* focuses on RPGs

PBEM Portal
http://www.pbem.tapirdesigns.co.uk/
* focuses on RPGs
* not many announcements (the site is new)

PBEM Nexus
http://www.pbemnexus.com/
* focuses on RPGs
* slow site
* kind of hard to use
* not many announcements (the site is not new)
