Next time do some research before you spout off at the mouth Greg.
   (Sorry I wanted to try some flaming <g> so please take no offence)

1.) Try using proper search criteria, if you had typed "Food Chain" you
would have seen that the first 5 hits was your game.

2.) Unlike popular indexes like Yahoo, PBeM.Websearches.net is a
true "search engine".  It spiders about 100 Search Engines/Index's for
anything PBEM related.  If you want you site to do better try putting
Meta Tags in any of your pages.

3.) I use Websearches for several of my sites (go to the actual "Home"
page for [ http://www.websearches.net ] and see how many different
generas he works with) my "fan site" for Midnight Games - Legends
system is the banner "The Ogre's Lair!" you can see a decent keyword
meta tag, the site is #5 on AltaVista for a general search on Play by
Mail.
