HOTU was the site that got me into abandonware.. it was the first site of this kind that I discovered.
Pros: Tons of games, Mostly working (in my experience anyway :P)
Cons: The site is really slow, lots of popups, it's not been updated in ages I think, never really looked at the forum so I can't comment on that, one download at a time, site layout is really kinda messy, I think it's kinda fallen into disrepair a bit.
I found Abandonia when I was looking for Ultima 7, and I'm still here, so I guess it's obvious what site I prefer :P
Pros: Lots of games, good reviews, great community, constantly getting updated, really nice site layout, fast
Cons: Well... There's less games than HOTU. That's about it..
I signed up on the forum here with the intention of helping out and donating stuff to the site, but I never really got round to it. I'll need to dig out my old games and see if there's any games/manuals/box art or whatever that I have that's not up here.
