GGAOTD going offline for vacations season

Hello everyone!

Our team has made it into vacations season and we will be short on people for a few weeks. Actually, I’m writing that right from the beach:)

To compensate for temporary stuff shortage, we decided to switch to single site mode for those few weeks, that means that Game site will be offline and we will post games on our main site on weekends and software during business days. Once vacation season is over, the Game site will be back.

And that’s not all – we will be launching a new feature, Free Games Library, very soon!
We hope that improved Game site will be even more interesting for our visitors.

Happy vacation to everyone!
Slava and GAOTD team

  3. I would like to thank you for all the games you have provided over the last year. It has been such a joy to me in an otherwise ugly world. I look forward to your returning soon I hope. Debbie

  4. I’m starting to wonder if these guys are ever coming back. It has been over a month now. Vacations, holidays, or whatever one calls it shouldn’t take this long.
    I posted a message here yesterday and said absolutely nothing wrong and I see it’s not even here. Whats up with that ?????
    I sure hope yous didn’t ban me as all I have ever said is thank you to this team for good work.
    Makes no since to me and hope this message goes threw. Again, I have not done anything wrong to have been banned and sure hope this is not the case.

  6. Now Dorothy, do I detect a note of sarcasm in your last post there?
    Wow, when even Dorothy of Oz starts to lose faith in the ‘team’, what are the rest of us Munchkins to believe.
    If we could only follow the yellow brick road to Emerald Game City, all would be well again.
    Alas, the dream has come to an end . . . there shall be no return:(

  9. And man, ain’t I’m having fun yet…. Not!
    Went to a site that Dorothy mentioned, (mostfun.com)…
    Are you kidding!!!! It full of nagging spywares, adwares… I had to run a scan twice to clear those suckers out..

    Oooooooo, what that smell?
    It’s getting reeker each day..
    Didn’t anybody poked George with the stick, to see if he still alive? I think the smell is coming from him…..

  10. Mr. Guitarzan,
    I must come to Dorothy’s defense on her recommendation of mostfun.com and it’s wonderful games. (Not to be confused with mostfungames.com)

    Comment by Wally World — September 6th, 2007 at 9:54 am
  11. Hummmm… my message somehow got truncated. I must have made a syntax error somewhere. Let me try again.
    Like I was saying to guitarzan, the site mostfun.com, not mostfungames.com is a good place for free games. For your viewing a brief commercial with their games, you get to play for free. Top quality, frequently updated games too. My son, a dedicated game player, loves this site. As for spyware, adware, I find none. I run fulltime spyware detection and have no problems with mostfun at all. A final note, Aug. 2 to Sept. 6, that’s quite a vacation GGAOTD has going there. Hope they make it back by Thanksgiving!

  12. HAY WHEN YA COMEING BACK??!! I MISS GETTING THE GAMES!!! HOPE YA HAD A GOOD VACATION!! NOW GET BACK HERE!!! LOL

    Comment by GROVE51 — September 6th, 2007 at 2:08 pm
  13. I gave up on waiting for GGAOTD to come back, Ya know…..
    I am just here to drive people insane..
    Just like GGAOTD is driving me hungry for action….

    Anyway Wally World, as for mostfun.com…
    My powerful spyware scanner did find 5 spywares related from mostfun.com.. I ended clearing cookies, trackers from them each time I goes off line…

    I gotta find another thing to do beside ranting on here..

  14. I am not one to complain–after all, I have found some awesome games from the Team–however, I’m really missing the games site. GGOTD Team, are you planning to return? If so, would you kindly let us know a date to expect you? If not, it would be nice to know that as well. I’d love to see some more arkanoid, puzzle/logic, type games.

    Comment by SingleRose — September 7th, 2007 at 3:33 am
  15. I can’t believe I still have this site in my bookmarks! Time for it to go! Might as well delete SGOTD also as it is just a daily repeat of past titles. Oh well easy come easy go.

  16. Hi Everyone. Thanks for hanging in there. We have started returning from our vacations. Once we get past the weekend, we will once again be bringing you the best in entertainment. We have a few things to work on and a few surprises in store for you. So remember check back and emember to visit the makers of our games. They are the reason we can stay in business.
    Thanks….. George

    I am still waiting……

  17. Well Dorothy, looks like ‘George’ is kind of like the Wizard of Oz. He can’t really do anything for us after all:(
    Guitarzan, I don’t consider cookies so much as spyware – many sites use tracking cookies. I flush my cookies most every day, but I don’t worry about them. I’d be concerned with a spyware executable or spyware that starts up everytime you start Windows. My wife plays the mostfun games, and you’re right, I did notice it puts something in the startup. I don’t tolerate anything I didn’t install in my Windows startup so I run msconfig and instantly remove any offenders. It takes constant monitoring of your right hand taskbar and Windows startup to keep all the crap that’s out there today from bogging your system down. I use utilites for monitoring and cleaning – but have them only run when I want them too, not constantly.

  18. Just wondering when games will be back sure hope they aren’t gone for good i really liked the games and the reviews that some gave. I think George got lost in the jungle though and slava i hope the sharks at the beach didn’t take you away:)

  21. Hope the guy dealing with the game section is not dead during its vacations… If it is, that would explain how long and difficult it is for finding out another game manager.
    – Sincere condolences –

    Comment by Marsi — September 8th, 2007 at 9:57 am
  22. I have never had a problem with mostfun and spyware, tracking cookies I delete twice a week and always keep a eye out for anything that loads at startup. Ive had mostfun on my computer for about three-four months and have not had a problem.
    Wally I have heard that the games will return at the end of the month, not holding my breath.

    Comment by Dorothy F. Harrison — September 8th, 2007 at 1:13 pm
  23. I’m not holding my breath either, who takes a month plus long vacation when there are people who check this website everyday???

    Comment by Nick — September 8th, 2007 at 2:35 pm
  24. yeah we finally get a game how ever its on giveawayoftheday.com and not on game sbut its still a game so it should placate us for a while more.

  25. Sorry the post above wasn’t by me. He may be a george, but NOT the george of the site.
    Infact if any of you meatballs had paid attention, there is NO george.
    The persons name is )(&(*&^*%&$^%$^((

    I just made him up. I didn’t want all you nice people to get fustrated.

  27. I put Dorothy’s advice a while back into motion. I installed the games player from mosyfun.com into my mechine. I had no problem with spyware, adware or whatever. HOWEVER, the games player apparently runs at a much faster speed than my processor because NONE of their games would play on my mechine. The game would start to load, & subsequently lock-up or freeze my system. The average person is not willing to wait for 3 hrs for a simple game to load. I can get many of those games as Demos from other sites on the net, & the demos work. It’s just that the Games Player wouldn’t work with what I got. Thanks anyway. I had to remove it. Still found NO spyware/adware from the site in my computer, even after uninstall was complete.

  28. P.S. I can’t read & type at the same time, & typing in the dark does have it’s disadvantages. I meant to type “mosTfun.com” not mosYfun.com as it reads. sorry all.

  31. Buried deep within the recesses of today’s software giveaway comments is – just like SingleRose says, A statement of GGAOTD’s resuming GGAOTD project scheduled for Sep 10. This may be exciting! Check in, Dorothy, Gitarzan, everybody – the ball may start rolling once more!
    It’s signed by VICTOR and hovering over his name shows a link back to GGAOTD’s site. (Is Victor a GGAOTD team member?)
    This just may be a sign! The anticipation runs high! Will we finally be reunited – or will all our hopes be dashed on the rocks of despair?
    Tune in tomorrow, Monday, Sept. 10th to find out.
    Wally World

  36. You know how, during the summer, TV shows air reruns? Well, it seems that this is the way GGAOTD is going to operate. Maybe they’ll have an ALL NEW fall season! What you think?
    Watch the comments when the DWARF series rolls back around:)
    I’m not complaining – just wondering what’s going on here??
