Me me me! My backlog is haunting me and my ansiety makes me install-uninstall-barely start games like crazy! Also some addictive rogue-lites (aka the devils work) get in the way (dead cells im looking at you!).
Did i understood it right- the site (not the steam group) needs invite? Damn. Can i join?
On a side note: the group should be private but damn, this site needs to be public.
Reason is simple: its a moral duty, public health service. After social network/mobile addiction and porn addiction backlog inflation might be the third new illness of the new century, and at this rate could end up surpassing depression by the next decade. Heck, the ratio of Gabe's money growth vs games played might become so great that it will break some fundamental universe law on logic and become a blackhole. Like dividing by zero only its possible and its happening!
Seriously now Blaeo (the site) needs more awareness and reach. Things are getting ridiculous, it would be great to have more gamers on the march to actually consume those proper.

The Steam group and forums used to be for members only, but they were hardly ever used and since we got the site people complained about not being able to ask questions or kept contacting us directly, because they couldn't post in the forums yet. As for the site, it's hosted via mandrill's personal (?) provider, I'm not sure what it is, but this way it's ad-free. But it's not laid out to handle too much traffic (not like SG), I already have to wait quite a while every time I want to add new people, since loading the member list takes a few seconds. (Also, the list of Steamgifts wins would not apply to people anymore then, since random people would just sign up). (not saying this is never happening, but as of now there are no plans to make the site public)

Hello I would like to apply to know my overall achievements and finished games

added :) but that's not something the site does automatically, you'll still have to sort everything manually at first.

Hi, my backlog just keeps on growing. Something needs to be done.
Something like a monthly progress tracker, just so i can loathe myself for procrastinating instead of completing games.
This. I need this.
Could i get an invite perhaps?
:)

Hi,
Could I please get an invite to the group? Got a killer backlog! Thanks!

Do you guys have some sort of program that will sort our Steam library the same way we sort games on the website? Putting things into the same categories?
Comment has been collapsed.
I think something like this is currently being discussed here? I'm not entirely sure if that's what you mean, or what the thread starter means, but our web admin is currently without internet anyways (for probably at least another week), so nothing will happen in that regard for a while ...

Sounds like that's what I was looking for. Maybe I can just do it manually, slowly, over time.

Hello, it seems my backlog is slowly getting out of hand and I might need a little help there, an invite would be delightful.
Thanks in advance

Hello, applying here to be invited in the glorious League of the BLAEO ;)

Sounds like a great idea. I'd like an invite if possible :D

My backlog and wishlist both seem to be growing at the same rate!
I try to play only two games at once (one VN and another game of any genre) so the going has been slow.
I'd like to join the group.

added to the site :) But your backlog looks in pretty good shape, almost half your library at 100% :D

Thank you very much for the compliment! It's taken some effort that I'm pretty proud of.
The more I looked at the site, the more excited I am. I love organizing n shit like this. Thank you!

I've games in my library to play for 2 or 3 lives... I just want to know where to start in this one.
May I join your group?

Hi,
I'd like to join and use the website please.
Can I get an invite?
Thanks :)
Comment has been collapsed.
can't add you right now because of the little mouse in you username, you'll either have to take that out for a bit or wait till our admin adds you, sorry
Comment has been collapsed.
Hi, can you try and login at the website? You were added, but it seems something's still not right, but it might fix itself once you login for the first time. Thanks :)

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.
