I'll be trying to catch up with ~2 weeks of obituaries, news and other
bits for the blog - my PC died last Monday, and I've been "offline" in
regards to sorting these bits of news :) I only put up some randomly
when checking my email before it crashed.<br>
<br>
As for Bittorrents, yeah, someone might. I hadn't visited the site for
years, so I can't even remember what was on there. A sad loss,
regardless, even with it being legally dubious.<br>

somebody decided to do an Underdogs bittorent. That might be the only
way all the files would ever get together again. However, I'm not
convinced all the stuff they were distributing was really legal to
distribute. It's another of those gray areas. Still, sad to see the
site's gone though.<br>

would it be ok if we add your note to the SIG blog? I've noticed a
citation or two out there on the web, tracking back to your "post" to
the SIG, but of course there isn't one.<br>

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

Hi All -<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
RIP HotU.<br>
