Actually the reason I set up PBeM Portal was *because* I am a GM of two
successful PBeMs (a Dune PBeM over at
http://www.dunepbem.tapirdesigns.co.uk, and a Trek PBeM over at
http://www.trekpbem.tapirdesigns.co.uk --> might as well plug them
while I write this lol).

As a GM I found that once PBEM.com had gone down, it was much much more
difficult to advertise to find players to fill vacancies in either
game. Took me months to stumble on the idea (weird considering how
simple it was), but I suddenly realised that the more announcement
sites there are the better:
i) greater exposure for games and therefore GMs can get players more
easily;
ii) greater ability for players to find a game they're looking to play;
iii) greater choice for players once they've found games.

So, TBH with you, a remark along the lines of "make more PBeMs" is a
bit redundant if there's nowhere to advertise them. I know lots of
players within the two games I run have tried unsuccessfully to set up
games and this is because of a lack of players, not for want of effort
or ability.
