Where did you hear those rumours, Juanca?
At the moment all we know is that it's down.
AFAIK there has been so statement from Sarinee (alias Underdogs, ie the site's founder) or any crew members on the matter yet.
Though, with the way HOTU has been gathering dust for over two years, it seems like an even toss to me.

Default Home of the Underdogs, Virtually Dead

They seem to have lost all of their files. According to the forum it seems to have been some form of HDD failure. Anyone care to elaborate or comment on this? I'm somewhat upset that this has happened though the site has not been actively maintained in quite a while.

Their site was offline for over a week. When it came back, it was like that.

I presume the files were stored on a different file server than the reviews and all that.

Real shame to have possibly lost such a valuable collection of games and other assorted programs. It will be difficult to get such a collection back together.
