I would like to express an opinion on the current method of finding games and Players, which certainly seems fairly haphazard at best.

Discord Servers have channels dedicated to Players looking for GM or GMs looking for Players, there are groups on reddit, there's Fantasy Grounds Forums with posts going back 10+ years, Fantasy Grounds Calendar, however it's not as functional as FGC or FGU would lead you to expect. The lobby in FGU is not an answer either.

So I would like to point out a tool the Fantasy Grounds PUG server is using, and I feel it's very impressive.

This is the link https://www.rpg-schedule.com/games/upcoming

I feel FGC/ FGU community could really take advantage of a tool like this and reach out to many more people, which hopefully would result in more players for all the RPG community.

OK RPG-Schedule had issues with Discord, not sure if it was resolved.

Meanwhile https://warhorn.net/games has filled a gap here, events, ongoing games, and signups for One off, Pick Up Games and / or Campaigns.

As it is now we have to go around to lots of other sites individually like RPGTableFinder, StartPlaying, etc. and create an advertisement there and not everyone knows about all the other LFG sites out there. This is another tool to publicize games on the FG platform. I fully support anything to make it easier to publicize. It is certainly more difficult since FG is software and the developers aren't incentivized like they are at Roll20 to have a well integrated LFG section of the site. Downloadable software vs. SaaS, I get it.
