The End of Underdogs

Hey folks,
Remember Home of the Underdogs? After years of stagnation and numerous death-rattle-like technical hiccups, the site in its current form is truly no more.
I wanted to mention it here because Yahtzee did have a few hundred posts on the forums there back in the day, long before he became the deservedly famous Intarweb celebrity that he is today. Perhaps it even served as useful promotion for 5 Days a Stranger. Alas, I cannot recall much of what he posted, aside from this one curiously thrifty snack recipe involving tinned chocolate powder and buttered bread.
Oh wait, Yahtzee doesn't really come here very much either anymore, does he? Oh well.

That's a shame. I loved that site. While it hasn't been particularly active for a while it was a pioneering force in this area. I got many a great abandoned game from that site.

If there's one thing nice about HotU, it's that the reviews were generally accurate and well-written.
Abandonia reviews are crap and don't reflect the actual quality of the game.

I was never interested in the reviews, because I always knew the game I wanted to download.
