This is a petition to make Chris update Games Explorer.

As far as I can see it has not been updated for quite some time.
Please do so.

Good point there!
The problem seem to be that the persons responsible for this site doesn´t seem to want to develope it's usabuility since it would mean actually working. Personally I think they are lazy but who am I to critizize them (Russ & Co).
Just to give you a hint about the coding needed, I am not a programmer myself so I just write some random Perl-code to give you a hint of what's needed.
sub new {
my $pkg = shift;
$uniq++;
my $prog = (split m!/!, $0)[-1];
my $name = "/tmp/$prog.$$.$uniq";
my $fh = new FileHandle $name, "w+";
die $! unless $fh;
bless { name => $name, fh => $fh }
}

Sorrry for waking up an old thread but:
I really would like this feature and I think it is 'the one thing' this site is reeeeeally missing! An updated gamesexplorer would really make an improvement for this site.
So.
From my own point of view:
This site would really need a games explorer feature.
The present gamesexplorer has not been updated since 2007.
*People are actually paying money to play on this site. *
Therefore I personally think it is a shame this site don't update the gamesexplorer. I also understand there are priorities in what needs to be fixed first but that's a completely different thing.
Any thoughts on this matter?

Originally posted by bikingvikingThat's not true. It's be updated quite a few times.

I think the last update was around the middle of 2009 and was with all the game data up until Dec 2008.
Also, Russ did state at the end of last year that he was looking to implement near live updates to the Games Explorer but was struggling to find the time. I imagine it's still waiting to happen.
