Hey,
I'd like to request that rpgloop (http://rpgloop.net) be added to the list. It's a site with a two year history solely dedicated to "player-gm match-making", so if you're looking for a game to play in or need players for your game, you should post it on the site.
The site itself features many features that try to make things as smooth as possible, you can get alerted about new games by email or read them as RSS feeds, protect your privacy by masking your contact information for only your chosen players to see and leave comments on games, much like a forum thread.
D&D 3rd and 4th edition seems to be the most popular game around at the moment, if you are looking for something exotic, however, these are available as well.
Disclaimer: I am the author of the site above. The reason it exists is mainly that I couldn't find players myself and I tend to try to solve my problems "once and for all", ergo a fully-automatic website seemed to be the logical answer to my problem. It backfired a bit, because for a long time I spent all of my gaming time coding the site (maybe the RPTools people have the same problem?) but I am still pleased with the result.
The site used to be OpenRPG-centric, but since a few month is open to MapTool as well. As for how well it works: Recently, I have decided to give MapTool a try (because topology looks so awesome) and I tried posting on the site myself. I had five player spots filled (with a few people filtered out) in less then 24 hours, so if you're a GM without players, I'm confident that you'll get something that worth the 10 minutes effort it takes to post a game.
The url of the page is: http://rpgloop.net.
