Your parents can explain it to you.

In writing, you're supposed to put 'him' if you don't know the sex. At least, that's how it is over here in America....

I dunno, I was burned pretty badly by HOTU's draconian 'no simultaneous downloads' policy, which got me sitebanned on more than one occasion for no apparent reason (Which I think had something to do with having broadband before broadband was widely used). I kinda stopped visiting the site a good 8 or so years ago when it just got too frustrating and I felt there were better alternatives for the services that HOTU rendered in the first place.

Honestly, I think the only reason I even ate up any of their bandwidth in the last however many years was related to RoN. This isn't to say that I think the site deserved to go down, but I definitely approve of some of the ideas that they (I think is the proper asexual term) came up with for a refurbishing of the project regarding wiki-style content, open uploading and what-have-you.

Hopefully the site as a resource will be brought back in some form. A lot of useful information was hosted there, I'm sure, and you can never have too many reviews of games that you're not sure if you want to bother playing or not.

Personally it's the reviews that kept me revisiting HOTU rather than the downloads. Downloads I have no troubles to find, but reviews of games, may they be old or recent, PC or console, professional or indie, as long they were good games and overshadowed by other titles, now that's something you don't see everywhere. I am glad to see all this information will not be lost after all.
