Not at all.  In my experience, PBEM portals in general tend to suffer
from the same drawback of having a huge percentage of "deadwood games"
that either aren't active anymore, or aren't currently recruiting.
This isn't a fault of your site specifically; it is just the nature of
PBEM portals/directories in general.

That's why pbem.com was, IMO, so great.  It had current, up-to-date ads
for games that were definitely active right now, and that were actively
looking for new players.  You also had a good chance of joining a game
right at its inception, which I believe is the best time to join a
game.

That is certainly extremely welcome.  The web needs more good PBEM
sites.  I will wait until June to see if pbem.com comes back up, and if
it doesn't, I will probably start my own recruiting page.
