Isn't this essentially what Greg's list is doing?  I don't know how indexed
or database driven it is (define "database" *grin*), but it always seemed
both searchable and browsable to me.

If you're suggesting that it could get a performance boost or some other
enhancement, possibly by changing the nature of the back-end, sounds like a
good enough plan.  Go to it.

www.pbem.com runs this service for hand-mod RPGs (and similar).  It's *very*
sucessful - my ad for my AD&D PBEM got tens of responses with a couple of
days (for 8 players wanted).  It's a nice idea, *if* it's kept up to date
(or the players will ignore) and simple to make changes (or the GMs won't
bother).

Tim.
