Re: Help GM
Anyone searching for a game (using the search games link on the main RPoL page) will be able to find your game, even if you turned off "requesting players", unless you hide it. Don't list it under any categories, and list it under an obscure game system. When you're ready to have people RTJ to your game, then change the game system back to whatever it really is and add categories.
Note: Don't let a game sit around without any interaction (posts from your or from players) for too long. After 61 days, a game will pick up the "inactive" tag. If it's had that tag for another month, it'll get moved to the Deleted section. "If it has been there for at least one month (but usually considerably longer) and is not resurrected, it may be permanently deleted from the site."
