It means that, currently, selecting a multiplayer option as a search criterion returns zero results - if it's such a huge job that no-one can be bothered to do it, I'll gladly go through the games myself - at least they'd get done eventually.

The theme and other criteria aren't added yet either. We still haven't fixed a couple more critical problems with the site (IMO the upgrade was kind of rushed anyway), and they have priority.

Surely members of the community can also submit game details?

I'm not sure whether that will be possible or not. If it will, the submitted info will still have to be approved by the staff, otherwise we could expect a real lot of problems (as in: thousands of bored kids with no brains nor manners, convinced they can behave on the Internet however they want with complete impunity, whose favorite occupation is typing several dozen swear words a minute).

b.) While the search facility will surely be useful when it has something to search for, the current options for multiplayer searches are quite sparse.
Hot-Seat multiplayer is a good option, and should stay, but Network and Online could conceivably be the same thing.

A more sensible set, perhaps, would be Hot-Seat, Simultaneous, Internet, IPX, LAN.
(Although this leaves only small amounts of room to include play-by-email or modem play).

I agree that the multiplayer classifications could be changed, altough I see it a little differently (For modes of play: turn-based, simultaneous turns, real-time; For connection types: Hot-Seat, LAN, Internet, the last one including PBEM and modem connection)
