Exactly at the title says; I'm looking for places to play Rifts and other Palladium games by PBP. I am on RPOL now but honestly Palladium games are rare there. I'm currently running three out of maybe a dozen or so active games.
If anyone knows any sites besides RPOl where I can find active Palladium PBP games, please post. Thank you.

Thank you for the suggestions. I had already found EU and looked over it. It is off putting. I tried Discord and it was just too clunky and counter intuitive to use. EU specifically requires you to use Discord just to get the one character you are initially allowed to make, approved. It also requires you to make a character without first seeing what games are recruiting and asking if you could even join or what that party of PCs needs. The overall impression was extremely off putting, as if they don't want people to join.
I'm not a player of Savage Rifts so that one is a moot point. Still thank you for the suggestion.

This isn't correct. We also use Hangouts & PMs via the site.

This is also not correct. Player are encouraged to contact GMs, and campaign group openings are openly advertised.

This is not entirely incorrect. The New Player's Guide is specifically organized to discourage players who aren't able to follow directions, and who are "low investment" (inconsistent/unreliable) type players. This is the #1 reason why EU's been going strong since 2005.
