After some ground-breaking new website features implemented by mandrill, BLAEO is accepting member applications again! :D

But instead of being invited to the Steam group directly, you will be given access to our website after applying in this thread. Just set up your profile there and be active if you want to, and we'll eventually invite you to the Steam group. Right now the Steam group is mainly used for syncs with SG and group giveaways on here (and reminder announcements for various things), so you're not missing much if you don't get invited right away ;) And just to clarify, the website is basically the group, the Steam group is pretty much just a bonus ;)

Thanks to this new feature, we can now proudly announce that there are no requirements to join (not that we really had any before), simply let us know you're interested here :)
Once you're in the Steam group though, you're only allowed to enter group giveaways if you've been active (we won't post our requirements/definition of "active" so people can't abuse that information).

So, in conclusion, post here to gain full access to the BLAEO website and then add mandrill to your whitelist :P
Please do not add group admins/mods or post to their Steam profiles to get an invite, you'll get added to the site much faster if you just reply in this thread
PLEASE DO NOT REQUEST TO JOIN THE GROUP WITHOUT HAVING BEEN ADDED TO THE WEBSITE! Request to be added to the website in this thread first!


If you don't know where to start on the site, read this guide, and/or this guide. Extra info on image formatting.
If you don't want to miss any announcements, subscribe to these group threads (works for everyone):

FAQ (under construction)

I just joined, and the site isn't showing achievements for my games. Help?
The site starts compiling everything starting with your first login, so if you just used it for the first time, just wait a few hours. Same with new achievements and game additions, just give it some time.

How do I post on the site?
Read this getting started guide, and/or this guide.

How do I get into the Steam group?
We add everyone who applies in this thread to the users of our website, meaning after you login there with your Steam account for the first time, you can use it as a regular member.
Steam changed how groups manage new members and we can no longer invite people we aren't already friends with. So after you're added to the website and have been using it for a while, request an invite to the Steam group if you want to join. We'll review your request and accept it if you have indeed been active on the site (for at least 10 days, but depending on frequency and extent of activity, might be several weeks until you get an invite).
PLEASE DO NOT REQUEST TO JOIN THE GROUP WITHOUT HAVING BEEN ADDED TO THE WEBSITE! Request to be added to the website in this thread first!

I applied in this post and didn't get invited to the Steam group.
See above.

What are the benefits of being in the Steam group?
You get to post on the forums and* join giveaways that are shared with the group here on SG! But remember that we're not a giveaway group and there aren't many running giveaways at any given time, so you're really not missing much if you're not in the Steam group.
*the forums are open to everyone now, no need to join the Steam group

Why did I get kicked from the Steam group?
There's really only one rule: Don't join group exclusive giveaways (i.e. not shared with any other groups or the whitelist) if you haven't been active on the site for a while. A "while" can be anything between 14 days and over a month, depending on your usual activity (e.g. members with huge monthly posts won't get kicked for joining a group exclusive GA 4 weeks after their last post, but someone with who usually posts short updates like "I finished this game, it was fine" every few days and hasn't posted in over 2 weeks might get the boot - this is examined on a case by case basis, any kinds of posts are fine, just be aware of this when you want to enter a group exclusive giveaway AND stay in the Steam group).

I got kicked out of the Steam group, can I still use the website?
Yes! You can use it just like before, nothing changes for you in that regard.

I left the Steam group. Does that affect site usage in any way?
No, but please let us know about it, especially if you don't want to get invited back into the Steam group, so we can make a note of it and don't spam you with invites when you're active on the site.

Oh this is cool. I mean I saw quite a few people posting their BLAEO-profile and I wanted to have one too. I guess it could help me getting my backlog structured and more games being played. When I first saw someone posting one of their profiles I believe there was no recruiting so I let it slip. But if now I can use the website without being member, that is perfect for me. So have this bump

Edit: Damn, apparently I misread your thread somewhere and I cannot sign up without being a member of the group. So I humbly ask for an invitation or access to the site to get my backlog fought :) Even though I cannot fight much atm, but I hope there comes better times.

This website somehow similar to ASTAT ?

7 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

Not really, AStats is mostly used to track achievements and compare to others, while this site focuses more on giving you an overview of what games you played, the percentage of games you have played versus not played, and what achievements you got (but doesn't check how you got them).

Aside from the stats and custom lists to organize your backlog a bit, the website also has an activity feed where members post about their progress (or lack thereof), but you can also keep those posts to your profile, if you have lots of small updates and don't want to spam the feed. I think this is what makes the group, a bunch of SG users talking about what they're playing, recommending things etc.

added you to the site, but since your Steam profile is private, it won't show any stats for you yet, I think. Just make sure to visit the site while your profile is public (maybe the next time you're doing a sync on SG) so the website can see what games you have ...

There's a Getting Started Guide, which should cover some of the FAQ (a proper FAQ section is in the works ... only in my head so far, but it's there ...). Other than that, I'd say as a sub group of SG, general SG forum rules apply (be respectful, no begging etc.)

3,334 finite single-player games found (311 excluded )
If you were a video gaming zombie who plays 24/7 without sleeping or eating then:

Your total amount of consecutive current playtime would be 1 year, 4 months, 2 weeks, 6 days and 9 hours.
Your remaining amount of consecutive main playtime would be 2 years, 3 months, 2 weeks, 6 days and 10 hours (72.10%).
Your remaining amount of consecutive extras playtime would be 3 years, 9 months, 3 weeks and 13 hours (78.63%).
Your remaining amount of consecutive completionist playtime would be 7 years, 1 week, 2 days and 3 hours (85.76%).

Nice site.. maybe if i have people competing with me.. i would be able to play my games quicker.
May I get an invite.

Don't know how much competing there will be, but addad you :)

Also, what does the second line in your stats mean? ("Your remaining amount of consecutive main playtime would be 2 years, 3 months, 2 weeks, 6 days and 10 hours (72.10%).") I would have interpreted it as how much of the total amount (first line) is still left for you to play, but it's bigger than the first number, so that can't be it ... or is the first just referring to "trying everything out"?

here is the website.. and i have log in as my account but u can check your own steam account.
Main play is just go straight for the ending.. Extra play is how long do u need to get 100% of content for the game. Then the last number is the total amount of time.

Hi! I would like to join. Is there any requisits to stay on the site? (Like participating in the monthly theme and posting updates from time to time? I am trying to kill the backlog but there are times I am not able to play any thing at all! And i'm not that good of a writer)

added you to the site. There are no requirements to keep site access, you can ignore the monthly theme if you want to, and you can write as much/little and as often/seldom as you like, or just stick to commenting on other people's updates if you have nothing to write about ;)

That seems doable ahah I'll try to have a look on it today and update some stuff tomorrow. (PS: Is there any guide to the code stuff? I saw some neat looking posts and I'm having trouble recreating them without a baseline.)

Thank you for the opportunity!!

use the site, then you'll eventually get an invite (there's no set formula, but I send out new invites every 7-10 days to somewhat active users) - the Steam group is barely active, so you're really not missing anything (the chat is open for non-members, although usually it's empty, and you can subscribe to announcements via the thread linked above)

there's a short explanation here - feel free to just ask in your next post on the site if it still doesn't work, everyone's usually pretty quick to help if they can (as opposed to in this thread, where I'm probably the only one seeing your question, and I'm not great at explaining code stuff)

As a Backlog Assasin myself, i got to say entering here has given me purpose and the will to kill my huge ever expanding backlog. Since may i've finished nearly 20 titles, and done progress on countless others (and even play online some other games).

Join us so you may rejoice in the slaying of your backlog...
