I found your statement on your Magog page a bit confusing: Maybe it would be better to directly refer to this background.
One of the Gog members uses the name "JudasIscariot". I guess that has a similar background.

It's a kind of "inside" joke.
For several years GOG stood for "Good Old Games".
Then when GOG began releasing new games too, they came out with announcement (paraphrasing):
"GOG no longer means (only) Good Old Games, now it's just GOG".
There's a couple of threads on the forum where people suggest new meanings for the GOG no-longer-acronym.

I finally finished..phew!

So, because I like stats, the numbers are:
- 218 owned (classic titles, great ratings or played and liked)
- 56 owned, unsure (seem interesting but with average-good reviews, I'll see)
- 11 owned, unwanted (crap obtained due to packs or day-one bad freewares)

- 34 wishlisted (known great, yet to buy)
- 24 wishlisted, unsure (seem interesting, maybe worth buying?)

- 64 unsure (too few reviews or average and I can't decide)

- 327 unwanted (bad reviews or uninteresting for me)
- 68 unwanted, unsure (low reviews, probably bad, but maybe..)

total: 802
(including DLCs,removed,etc)

Impressive initiative!!! Good show!!!

I looked at it (once I figured out where it was, since I don't use GOG's "My Shelf", only the "My Games" list). Looks good.
I'm afraid that part of your issues, those related to the removed games, are my fault.

When I began building the database, I didn't have GOG's ID for the removed games (as there were no game pages for them), so I just gave them my own arbitrary negative IDs (-1000 to -1018). I never bothered to reasearch it further and change that. Sorry about that.

Thanks :)

Asking for additional reviews for 64+24+(68) games? Quite hard..
I'd maybe do a poll, if GoG had them..
(wishlist already added)

So, is GOG going to hire you or is someone else going to?

And you're doing a damn fine job hiding it :-)

N.B. I'm no web programmer either, so I'm going by cursory knowledge.

HTTPS is a secure protocol which uses SSL to encrypt any data you might send and receive. All game cards and fora have duplicate addresses: the default http://www.gog.com/<stuff>, and the secure https://secure.gog.com/<stuff>. Many people prefer to use exclusively the secure ones, whenever available. It's not critical for the purposes of your project, but it's a convenience. GOG itself is at fault here, because a lot of its own links break the secure environment and revert to default http.

So, here's the deal:

Search in MaGOG for all the removed games. You'll notice that there are no icons to display on the left, probably because they're not in the catalogue anymore. However, the fora for these games are still available,
e.g. https://secure.gog.com/forum/wallace_gromits_grand_adventures
Furthermore, if you go to https://secure.gog.com/forum and search for Wallace, you'll see that the link to the forum has its old icon. These appear to be the same size as the ones you're using, so I suggest you use these to fill the void.

Heavens, no. I do not work for money.
I work for truth and honour and justice, to protect the poor and the downtrodden, and for the occasional giveaway.

Fora... nice.
Got it. Will implement a switch to allow users to choose (non-secure will be the default).

Now I understand.
I actually liked the fact the the removed games had no image, making them stand out. I even hid the Arma images when these games were removed. But I guess you're right. Will get them.

Fair enough. It actually makes sense. Your next project could be superimposing the two images ;)

I'll probably just place a small "Removed" icon alongside the game image.
Now, a question for you. Any idea where I can get images for those removed games that have one forum for multiple games (i.e. have only one image among them) --- that is, the Fallout series, the Guilty Gear series, and the Space Rangers series?

P.S. Silly me. Forget it. I know where to get the images.....


My Games

That would explain why the Bohemia interactive ones were working.

I still have some problems with the script but with less games so I must not have been completely correct.
I haven't had time to investigate. Maybe Sunday.

However if a game is borked, the user can just remove the tag for it and then the next time it loads some results it disappears.

You could still make the removed games stand out by editing their images. Adding a border, X, or greying them out should do the trick.

Indeed. I already did something along these lines. See attached image.

Damn, this is amazing. Not sure if genius or mad but I like it!
