It's happening because Abandonia is pretty much the "other big site." When HOTUD disappeared, casual visitors started finding their way over here in hopes of finding it (and it's not like we don't know anything about the situation).
The problem has nothing to do with HOTUD and everything to do with forum etiquette: people are simply too lazy to search for existing threads which already answer their question. If it was an Abandonia-related issue the same thing would happen, so don't scape-goat HOTUD. Personally, I'd suggest making a sticky and then just deleting any subsequent "Where's HOTUD" threads as they pop up.
