I am looking for any online sites where I could host boardgame sessions. Somewhere where I can upload the images for the board and the game tokens. The only functional feature I really need is the ability to mark tokens as having been moved that turn.
Any suggestions?

RPTools?

They have a program called MapTool which in essence is a instant messenging client with a virtual all-purpose gameboard. You would need to use their other tools to format the icons properly and host the game yourself.

Umm no. I need something that is persistent server-side so that players can look at the map while I'm offline. This is for play-by-post not real time gaming.

So I looked at Vassal too, but that also looks like it needs to be hosted by the GM. Is there really nothing suitable? I guess I will have to use Google docs instead then.
