I think this is up to the mods of the page! I suppose it's based on how long ago the update was published, for example.
- Thread starter DiPeppo
- Start date
On-hold if auther announces break. Abandoned if he just vanishes without a trace or anounces he is done and not gonna finish it.

Incorrect; it's about length of time, 3 months since last post is the cutoff.

Yeah, fair enough; although if there is one inaccuracy there, it's that most games that devs announce that they're done with, tend to get marked 'completed', though only because most devs announce completion when they drop things like a bad habit

To be exact:
3. Prefixes
- On-hold: used for a developer who temporarily stops working on a game for whatever reason and makes a clear public statement about it, if they do not resume work in 6 months the prefix is changed to Abandoned.
- Abandoned: used in the following cases:
- The developer states that the development has been permanently suspended.
- Over 3 months of inactivity from a developer's creator/crowdfunding accounts (Patreon, Subscribestar, etc).
- No game update has been released for an abnormally long period of time (>18 months).
- Game threads that are marked On-hold for over 6 months with no game update.
- Note: This prefix is only removed upon the release of a new update for purchase/download.
- Note: Unique circumstances or scenarios will be resolved on a case-by-case basis by the reviewing staff (no creator accounts, creators developing for free, Patreon accounts under review/ban).
- Complete: when a game is released in its full version as stated by the developer. Note that complete games might still receive patches and post-release content.
