I'd like to bump this thread, if I may.

What support do you have to facilitate online games that would entice me to not, say, use my own hosted forums where I have complete control?

P.S. I'm not being facetious...I have a PHPBB forum set up with a number of mods to help factilitate online games I hope to one day run. If someone has a better setup I could be enticed to use that instead.

I don't want to speak for Josh, and this doesn't directly answer your question, but...

If you are already running games on your own hosted forums, there may not be a good reason for you to join a site hosted by someone else, with moderators that were chosen by someone else, especially if you're the type of person who likes having complete control over the environment that is hosting your game.  However, there may be GMs out there who don't want to invest the time and money to set up their own forums.  Likewise, there may be players out there who are looking for one site where they can play a variety of games.

Swrpga.com has been successful for years on that model.  It doesn't have a lot of modifications to the stock PHPBB software that I'm aware of (nor does d6d20 have a lot of modifications to the stock fudforum software), but it has a healthy community of gamers.  What both sites do have is a page layout that is easy to read and a forum structure that is easy to navigate.  I'll let Josh talk about the specifics if he wants to.

The goal, as I understand it, is to attract gamers who want to play a diversity of games in a single uncomplicated forum structure.  It's more community oriented than software oriented.
