ThePBEMNews.Geoste.Com seems ready From: Geoste <geoste@ATsympatico.DOTca.nospam.invalid> Date: Tue, 14 Feb 2006 13:27:15 +0000 As of Feb 11, 2006, it looks like http://thepbemnews.geoste.com/ website is ready to take on RPG announcements on a live basis. I'd like to thank everyone who has helped me test out the website and report errors to me. Your help is greatly appreciated! -= Who is this site for? =- This website is for either those who are: * looking for a PBEM (Play By Email) game or RPG (Role Playing Game) to play in, and/or * running a game and want to announce their site in order to gain players. -= Can I use this site? =- Yes. Everyone is free to peruse the listings and find a PBEM or RPG that catches their interest. Links to game websites are provided, along with an email contact for the person who made announcement - who is most likely the Game Master (or Referee, Manager, Moderator, Owner, etc). -= There are other sites that do this already. Why this one? =- There used to be an announcement website called PBEM.Com that disappeared back in 2005. Many roleplayers and gamers used that site frequently to announce their games. After its demise, other websites and mailing lists have tried to fill in the void with some success. However, people have expressed a need for an up-to-date announcement system that is clean and easy to use. -= How do I make an announcement on this site? =- All you need is a working email address. You enter in your announcement and then an email is sent to you. In this email is a confirmation number which you use to confirm your announcement. After it is confirmed it shows up in the listings - it will not show up sooner than this. The Announcement Page has more detailed information - but really, it's as simple as what is outlined here. Also, please check out the free banner advertising system we plan to introduce. The only banners you'll see are for PBEM/RPG games submitted by people who are running games. -Steve ThePBEMNews.Geoste.Com http://thepbemnews.geoste.com/ Up
