Tried accessing the site, seems like it's been shut down? I thought it was useful.

Edit: Looks like it's just temporary.

@Tanod Unfortunately, looks like the site might be down for a couple hours. I'm working with @Netfirms support now.

 

[Courage]

Fuck, and it was so useful.

Maybe they missed a payment?

 

[PorygonVandal]

Noooooo

I used that site

 

[Wario64]

Weird, it was definitely up yesterday

 

[TangerineCloud]

Son of a bitch, that site was so convenient. Just used it like three times in the past week.

 

[McDougles]

I guess we found out.

I used the site all the time when considering what to play, so I'll be gutted...

It's probably just a hiccup....I hope.

 

[totowhoa]

We need to kickstart this site GAF. Who on here knows who the owner is?

 

[Fried Food]

I just checked it yesterday

Same. Who knew Alice Madness Returns was 14 hours long.

 

[Hattori]

This site was integral to some of my game purchases, this is very unfortunate.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Site was taken down again... "SQL Abuse", my site has out grown my hosting service. In process of changing services...

I've purchased a dedicated server! Specs: Intel Xeon E3-1220 Quad-Core @ 3.1 GHz (3.4 Turbo Boost) with 12 GB DDR3.

[Werewolf Jones]

I think the only time I used it was for The Witcher, was still a good idea though.

 

[SteveWinwood]

Maybe they missed a payment?

Probably the most reasonable assumption.

 

[GamerJM]

Dang. I never used it but it was pretty useful though inaccurate.

 

[Astarte]

Same. Who knew Alice Madness Returns was 14 hours long.

Seriously, Alice was a REALLY long game. Just more to love, I guess.

That site seriously needs to come back, what the hell

 

[Like the hat?]

Wasn't this site created by a gaffer? I vaguely remember the thread that launched it.

 

[TheOnlyMook]

I said this in the Steam thread, but I literally just finished updating all of my backlog to the site a few hours ago.

I will be pretty bummed out if all of that work was for nothing.

Those Tweets are from June though. Or is the effect taking place now?

 

[Lordwindowlicker]

I doubt that this will be for good.

 

[MikeE21286]

Dammit.

I loved and used that site

:/

I have like over 220 games logged in there

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Used it like 3 hours ago.

 

[Grisby]

Just checked it like 2 days ago,

 

[Soulflarz]

Dammit
Its a lifesaver when picking games to play next

 

[Thaster]

Man, I hope this is only temporary.
I use that site all the time to keep track of my backlog in an organized way.

 

[kurbaan]

Damn it's useful.

Unless Twitter is playing up then those were posted well over a month ago now. I hope this is just some sort of temporary issue.

 

[daveo42]

That's crazy. Such a useful site now offline. Hopefully it'll be back up shortly.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

I hope this is just temporary. I always like to know how long a game is when picking what games to play from my backlog.

 

[Hydrogen Bluebird]

We need to kickstart this site GAF. Who on here knows who the owner is?

The owner is a GAF member.

 

[Lupin the Third]

On the plus side, while HowLongToBeat.com (the better site) is down, there's another site which serves the same basic purpose: GameLengths.com.

I don't think GameLengths has anywhere near the amount of comparison data that HLTB does, though.

 

[Darkroronoa]

This site is great,i hope it will be back,i really need it!

 

[Empty]

such a handy site

especially for those of us with hefty backlogs

 

[A Sentient Keyboard]

Wow, that's a bummer. It was (or is, I hope) a very useful site.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Those Tweets are from June though. Or is the effect taking place now?

Didn't notice the date. Their Facebook was also last updated in June notifying people that the site was back up. Hopefully it's just another temporary outage.

 

[CO_Andy]

What?! Just used that site five or so hours ago

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Dang, it's such a useful site. I hope it's a temporary problem that's resolved quickly.

 

[RionaaM]

It's really a shame. Though I didn't use it much, it was quite useful. Hope it gets back up soon.

 

[dragonflys545]

WTF I just use it yesterday...

 

[Tuck]

What? I was literally on the site an hour ago.

Hope it comes back up. Was an incredibly useful resource.

 

[beanman25]

IF anyone needs to use the site while it's down (or dead), use the waybackmachine.

[TheFrza]

Dang. I never used it but it was pretty useful though inaccurate.

I actually have found it pretty accurate. TLOU, Crysis 3 and Alice: Madness Returns were pretty much on the money for me.

 

[Poetic.Injustice]

Nooo i use it to finish my backlogs.

 

[Item_Screen]

I just tried to use it before I saw this. So, gaf, how long to beat smt4 on easy?

 

[BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!]

Domain to feature a porn site next.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Was just using it a hour ago...pretty damn useful website, that one(when it bothers to load)

 

[Tevos]

They just tweeted that the site could be down for a couple hours, but it doesn't sound permanent.

Carry on.

 

[QP3]

Dammit, I love that website. Hopefully something gets worked out...

 

[The Wheel of Fortune]

It's temporary, apparently.
