The main website doesn't seem to exist any more and whenever I try to go on the forum the website is stuck on a infinite loading loop

You googled gearhead, clicked the first link, said "Site is up!" and ignored the content? :V

I noticed it wasn't anything to do with a game, and that there were no games at all in the first page of results (for me anyways), so I visited wikipedia, which said there were no games named "Gearhead," but were some very old games named Gearheads and Gearhead Garage. I checked the Gearhead Garage website, it was up.

Since the OP didn't include a link to the site he said was down... or anything about what it was...

I presume he is talking about the Gearhead roguelike, which is an AWESOME mech based roguelike in two parts, 1 and 2.

The answer appears to be yes, the site is gone. It used to be at gearheadrpg .com, at least fairly sure of that, not letting it hyperlink due to not positive. Now when you search gearhead rpg, the site comes up at the bottom of the results. I know the creator has done almost no work on it in forever, so it is likely the site went down and he just stopped updating it. The wiki reset a while ago, and never got updated again, so pretty sure its dead. Unless, we use our bay12 powers to revive it and reclaim it as our own.

They're both still on Sourceforge:

GearHead 1
GearHead 2

...and here's the last archived snapshot of the old dev blog site.

This seems to be his twitter: https://twitter.com/pyrrho12 so fortunately he appears to be OK, probably just forgot to renew the domain (EDIT: or the hosting, it looks like the domain doesn't expire til April 22).

I was real bummed to see the wiki reset.  Lots of cool formulas that are good to know, like how many companions a character can have in GH1 with X charisma and Y leadership.  Or all those robotics creation formulas.

EDIT: The GHwiki is available via wayback machine, but most of the content seems to inaccessible.  Need to fiddle with it a bit more.
