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.

It's so hard to kill a backlog when it's full of shovelware while being an achievement hunter... with and old pc.
So much obstacles so much wow.

It should take so long to sync my library with the site? Like 2 hours before games appeared and 2 hours since then still no achievements. Maybe i need to do something manually?
Edit: NVM an hour later it finally synced :)

The sync was a little clogged tonight, but 5 hours is somewhat extreme. I'll look into it, but I fear Steam just had a slow day.

Suddenly half of my library consists of "greenlight card farms" and games that i didn't like enough to play through, so that brings me to around 300 games that i'm interested in, not so big of a number.
P.S. Shouldn't site read my recently played games right away or it starts to track them only after i joined? How do i share my feedback on games?

I think "recently played" only tracks changes in game time since you joined, so anything played before that might not show up. And how do you mean "share feedback"? Do you mean updates in the activity feed? There's a little envelope button in your profile, next to your username.

I really need to join to help motivate me. It's hard when you have two kids but I have started organizing my games into categories like rpg, hog, survival etc. I think it helps give me more time to play when I'm searching for a particular type of game.

So well I really could need some help with all the Games I got! I have so many Games left to play but cant really find motivation when a Game has achievements that seem to be hard because i always want to have 100%. So yeah maybe it would be nice to join your group :)

Every time I see the acronym for this group, I imagine someone projectile vomiting: "BLAEOOOUHHHHH!!!!!"

That alone makes this group awesome. Not requesting to join. Just wanted to point this out and hope it becomes my invaluable contribution to the community.

I'm sure that's okay when you're watching the show. But to have all of those cries of "Heyyooo" condensed like that ... my head was about to explode at the 30-second mark.

I'm interested in giving this a try especially since I'm slowly trying to make my way through as many of my games as possible and hopefully collect as many achievements as possible in the process (also trading cards). =)

Hmmm... I too have a backlog, on of those typical first world problemsâ„¢, but I've recently made some headway. due to a broken CPU fan forcing me to not straining the computer too much, and so I've started to try out some "lighter" games in the backlog :P
Maybe this group can provide a catalyst for further grinding? Or rather enjoyment? One can hope for unexpected gems :P

Steam Family Sharing's made my backlog harder to slay than ever. If only there was a web site that could help me get organized...

Just note that the site will only detect games you own. It can't pick up games you've played through family sharing.

Correct, though there is an enhancement request someone has already made on the Steam discussion forum for the group to look at the games in recently played in addition to owned games, as well as another to manually add non-Steam games (if you could manually add an Origin game, for example, I expect the same workaround that lets to annotate the game manually would let you make notes on a game that's actually in Steam, just not in your library).

There's a huge amount of potential use-cases and features for an application like this, however, so we'll just have to wait and see whether anything like that can be incorporated into a future release.

Just 1 question: How do synchronize? On the website it say's I never played 97% of my games when in fact I have played 74% of them.

It should be done automatically. Just wait a while. :) If you're talking about categorizing, you have to do that yourself though.
