[game_preservation] Home of the Underdogs

[Stuart Feldhamer]

It has been sort of dying for years now.

 

The site owner was someone from Thailand, a female I believe. I know the
name but I can't spell it correctly enough to Google search for her.

 

OK, after lots of searching I finally found it on Wikipedia which is the
first place I should have looked:

 

Sarinee Achavanuntakul

 

Anyway, as I said, it was pretty much dying and hadn't been updated for
years. So I find it unlikely it will get resurrected in the near future.

Wow, just wow. A huge loss, indeed. Does anyone know the maintainers -- no
chance it will resurrect with a different host?

Hi All -

I've mostly been lurking, but I did want to pop my head up to mention that
the long-standing abandonware site "Home of the Underdogs" finally succumbed
to hosting troubles on Monday (the webhosting company went bankrupt) and is
probably gone for good.  The preservation community is that much poorer for
it.

RIP HotU.
