Not sure that "games less than two months old" would really help you, as that would likely amount to a couple of hundred games, with no guarantee that they are still active.
If you keep an eye on the
Game Proposals, Input and Advice forum (
link to another game ), you will see new games that are being proposed, but have not yet been created (including when the GM actually creates them and posts a link).
The
Browse / Search the Games function on the main page can be set to only check for active games that are still searching for players, and can be filtered by which ones have the newest posts.
2 months is an eternity in pbp games.
And a sliding scale of times would be as simple as a dropdown that changed the parameter of the first post date searched. Last week, last month, last 2 months.
But yes, I'd love to see what games are going up specifically without having to fish through each genre and system. Just having that data available would be a huge boon to players, GMs, and even admins. What's the community interested in? Should I pick up new books and learn a new system if I want to play more games? Are games going up for games I had given up as lost and haven't searched for in awhile? Are games being mistagged, or am I misinterpreting a genre tag?
A list of hundreds of games is fine. Even great. It shows me that the community is really alive.
