I'm not sorry for their condition, although they had lots of games, they didn't interest me and the constant lag was unbearable, good ridance.

Good ridance?! :blink:

You, sir, are not an abandonware fan. If HOTU disappears, then several thousand old games will disappear with it. It will be a huge loss for the entire abandonware scene, and to the computer gaming history. I'll try to get hold of Sarinee, and ask what is going on.

Wow, that's awfull. Home of the Underdogs was the first Abandonware website I've ever been to and I'd say it'd have to be my favourite (Just because I can download ESA protected games!)

You can not download ESA protected games from it you ignorant, as they usually stop hosting them.

Sad if HOTU dissapears... I played so many good games from them

They were doing illegal sharing of protected and sold games, TH. You yourself had taught me to respect the creator's intensions to help the game not be illegally distributed or downloaded on the internet. I am a fan of abandonware, but you, "sir", are going against your own rule by "convicting" me of not being an abandonware fan, because I do not support HOTU and their wrong-doing. I'm surprised by you. :blink:
If you really want them back so bad, sir, then why not host ESA protected games yourself? <_< You'll be saving Sarinee the trouble.
HOTU, bye bye (I hope).

I'll learn how to "extensively modify the Wiki codebase" if I have to!

That won't help HOTU.

I for one don't hope this is the end of them. HOTU, XTC (X+C?), we all need to stick together. HOTU has become the-underdog. Don't go kicking them while they're down.

Ok... so why is it that I can download a game such as Urban Assault which is made by Microsoft in 1998 at HOTU. Not anymore... that sucks!

And they are back!

[Mighty Midget]

Damn, you guys scared me! Away for a day, and what do I read? HOTU gone? That would be disaster as far as I'm concerned.

And thanks Data, for bringing the good news. I just visited them, and everything seems ok.
