   What happened to the game give away on the home page?

   How long is this "vacation" going to last?

   I'm going to take a guess.. I think the vacation will last all the way to the end.

   [sarcasm]
   Imagine... taking a vacation. Boy, we're getting the short end of the stick by not getting a free game everyday too.

   Sheesh... It's only been a month, hasn't it?
   Let them enjoy the beach. Are you jealous you don't get as much time off?

   No, not jealous at all as I've not worked outside my home for the last five years (otherwise known as retirement) but I do miss the games. Why are you so aggressive? Why does it upset you that someone asks a question?

   I think people are getting sick of the same question being asked each day. I must admit it does start to sound like a whinging child in the back seat, asking every 5 minutes, "are we there yet?" :/

   Other's have asked this question? I looked and couldn't find anything about the game link being gone. The vacation thing was more of an aside though (didn't check to see if that had been asked).

   Besides the comments on the main page, and the forums.. you can also view the admins blogs. Look for the link on the main page. That'll usually give you info from the site admins themselves without wading through the garbage here in the forum and the lame comments about the software.

    I just checked the blog and there's nothing there (that I could find) about the games link being removed from the home page, so I'm still in the dark.

    Sorry to have been rude, ashara5, but it's as BuBBy says: It gets annoying when people keep asking when GotD will be back. (Read those first six or so results and you'll not only get an idea of what I'm talking about, but you'll also get your answer in one of those threads ;>)

    Apology accepted, but I was much more interested in why the link to the games had been removed. Have the games been moved to another location or are the games going to be limited to just one on weekends? I haven't been able to find anything that addresses that concern.

    are the games going to be limited to just one on weekends?

    While I don't know how many programs or games are "waiting" for their "day to be given away" (I assume GOTD doesn't have a backlog of thousands of games and programs) - If they giveaway 6 programs and 1 game each week instead of 5 programs and 2 games - it might be because they can only give away what they have "available". Maybe they are having a quiet period and running short of available games.

    Again, I don't know why - and I don't think any user can "guess" with any certainty.

    I found a website for games that may fill in for thoes who just have to have a new game every day. It is mostfun.com. The games are not timed. You can play as much , as long, and as often as you like. It is supported by sponsers so you will see a brief ad before and after each session. The one before you have to watch but the one after you can skip.Some of the ads are intertaining in themselves, [hope you see the one with the german coast guard.] You must download the mostfun player and choose games from their list which will be loaded into the player. Nothing is put on your desk top except the mostfun icon. You must click the icon to choose and play. I have had it for three weeks now and I have had no problems with it except Super Granny will only allow the small screen version without paying. The games are first quality, some of them featured on giveaway but not given except Ingenious which was given last week or two. Glyph, Luxor, Zenerichi, cake mania......there are many to choose from. It is my new fav until Gamegiveaway returns. There are not forums or comments associated with mostfun, which is one of the things I like and find most fun about giveaway of the Day. Have a good day and ....Just be nice.

    I have had the most fun games for a few months and I love it. Play any and all the games for as long as you want and never have to pay. They add new games about once a week and they offer something for everyone.

    I tried to install this and my anti-spyware progams all went crazy. They completely blocked the program. Said it is full of Adware and Adware Downloaders. Sorry, I'm not installing that! :O

    Hey, that never occurred to me! Good point. It's possible that this "vacation" is actually just GotD running out of companies to contact. There have been, after all, several reruns and repeat companies... :<
    The software suggestion forum looks pretty bare once you strip away all the freeware threads. Unfortunately, I don't have anything to suggest at the moment since most of my tools I'm happy with.

    Said it is full of Adware and Adware Downloaders

    I dunno about adware downloads, but the site is fairly frank about you having to see ads when running certain games - this is called adware. Their privacy statement seems fairly rigid, though I did spot a potential loophole (I say potential because I'm no lawyer ;>).
