I said this on PBEM News, but I will say it here, too.

Generally speaking, I encourage people -- players and GMs alike -- to
use and be familiar with more than one site which provides a service
they find useful. When the old pbem.com site went away, many of us were
stuck until set up PBEM News here at RPG Library. While I have every
intention of living forever, what happens if I am abducted by friendly
aliens who want me to come rule their planet for the next 2000 years? I
have solicited for people to help carry on the work of RPG Library in
the event of my untimely disappearance, but so far there have been
exactly zero applicants for the position of "RPG Library and PBEM News
Trustee" < http://www.rpglibrary.org/news/viewtopic.php?t=225 >.

So it's in everyone's best interests to find alternatives before the
unexpected happens. As far as I can tell, PBEM Portal would be a
worthwhile alternative to PBEM News. It's free, it's structured very
similarly to PBEM News, and like PBEM News it has no advertising. I
happen to think RPG Library has a cleaner layout and is a bit easier to
navigate, but I'll admit I am somewhat biased. :)

The point being that there's no harm in using more than one site for
your PBEM game announcements, and potentially, you might be very glad
you did.
