If someone wanted to get into Hosting PbP, what would you suggest they get familar with? i.e Googledoc, or some piece of software that makes it easier.

I use google-docs for the main spreadsheet that tracks everything (and use its rand() to shuffle decks/tokens when needed) and for player aids/hands.
The program that most of us use for the board images is GIMP, the Gnu Image Manipulation Program. It's free software, available for any platform.
If you're interested, let me know what you want to run and I can open up copies of my google-docs or email you the GIMP files. I do ask that hosts own the game; we want to encourage people to buy them and share them in face-to-face groups, not just freeload by playing online.

I wanna play in a few more first, but yeah I think I might start one in a few weeks. BSG or Chaos in the Old World. I own both also, so don't worry about that.
Upon special request of Thanatos, check out the second post for a list of active PbP RPG games. Post here if there are other games you want to see included.

What a sucker.
Also, game 21 recently started, and game 23 is about to start as well.
If there's interest, PM me and I'll see if I can get a game going/materials ready.

Woo!
Yep. Although this says it's up.
Yes, that just measures if there's a server on the other end, not if that server actually functions. Not entirely helpful in every situation.
EDIT: and thanks for the confirmation that it's not just me.
If anyone is interested come and stop by, even if it is to give advice or constructive criticism
BSG Pegasus Game 6 is over.
