How to meet gamers?

I met my new group through Meetup.com. Met and gamed with a bunch of people, ran some one-shots, weeded through a few social incompetents and creeps, and finally cherry-picked the players who are fun to have at the table, want to play 1e, AND are normal people able to function well in society. It took a little while to filter through enough people to get the ideal group, but it's absolutely worthwhile to get the group you want. Hell, I may well go drinking with these guys sometime away from the game!

Meetup is an excellent suggestion. AccessDenied is also useful, but since the site doesn't purge its data you may go through a lot of entries before you find someone.

I've had a lot of luck with the Pen and Paper player registry.

Let me second that. Meetup has been excellent for a lot of folks, ESPECIALLY in the Northern VA/DC area. Particularly:
The Greater Washington, D.C. RPG Meetup Group http://roleplayers.meetup.com/400/
as well as:
The DC/NoVa Gamers' Guild http://dnd.meetup.com/1053/
and
Alexandria Gaming Group http://boardgames.meetup.com/462/

There is a good number of us around.

As noted, there is a forum here on ENWorld. This thread may be whisked there shortly.
