what do you like about PBEM?
I think that the issue of whether hosting is forced or not is separate from the issue of whether turns are transmitted by TCP or by e-mail.
I can easily restart the server and set it to not force hosting until everyone's turns are in. Also I can (perhaps less easily) fix the damn e-mail notification service.
If I did those two things, then the server would have all of the features that you desire from PBEM, right?
Regards,
Zooko the Host
