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.

So sorted my unplaced and unfinished games into a few more categories to better see which games will be played in the near future.
Sadly most games I'm playing right now are not on Steam

I'm mostly interested in using the site for organizing my backlog. I'm not planning to enter giveaways in the near future (though for sure will create some), and not likely to join backlog cleaning events as I'm already active in one such on-going event in another group. If that's ok, then please sign me up!

Thanks! :-)

sure thing, added to the website - should I add an internal note that you don't want an invite to the group in the future?

7 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

Thanks!

And I would like an invite as to be able to create giveaways, not to enter them. I'm mostly in giveaway entry hiatus mode until I play more of my wins, and currently only enter giveaways where I'm almost guaranteed to lose (public GAs for wishlisted games with thousands of entries). It makes things a bit more interested than completely staying out. So far this tactic works very well ;-)

Okay, no internal note then ^^ The invite might take a few weeks though, we're sticking to a "wait and see how active people are" policy ;)
I now mostly enter gibs to see my luck curve go down, pretty interesting after some not-won group gibs ^^

Just found this group and I would appreciate an invite. The website looks like it would be super useful in attempting to tame the wild backlog that has crept into my games list. So many games .. I gotta have a plan!

Thanks for considering me.

Are you using Chrome? I just checked other browsers, and indeed the site works fine. In Chrome however the issue happens across different computers and even when I use incognito window.

Edit: Also happens with Opera if I disable Opera built-in VPN. Doesn't happen with IE, Edge or Mozilla.

well, now it seems to be offline for me ... mandrill's not online right now, we'll just have to accept that it's not fully working (maybe too much traffic? I have no idea how much it can handle, but we've been adding lots of new people over the past few weeks)

Hello,
If it's possible I'd like to join the crew. The website seems really interesting for several reasons (lists/stats, others progress/activities,...).
And if I understood well, I can go on my own rhythm (really important for me), there is no requirement as long as I don't enter GA.

I would love to be able to use the site if possible, mostly for the features and monthly themes, but I can't guarantee I'll be very active so I'd prefer to not get invited in the steam group so I won't accidentally join giveaways :)

I've just found about this site on another user's Steam profile and with a library of 6000 games I think this tool could be useful to at least keep track of the games I add from bundles that I really want to play. And, eventually, play a lot more.

I tried to log in to the site, but it said I had to be a member of the Steam group, so here I am knocking at the door... I hope I'll get invited! :)
