Honorbuddy was stuck loading for me. So I did the following and it works fine now. 1. I use Avast antivirus so I when there and added the exclusion for my HB directory. Tried HB again still no dice. 2. I downloaded a fresh copy of HB zip and deleted everything in that directory and then extracted the fresh copy. Bang working again. Perhaps a new update from Avast killed some file(s) in HB. Try this and hopefully it will work for you too!
Oh and if you are using Avast and wondering how to exclude a directory go to the Avast interface by right clicking the ICON in your notification bar. Go to Settings > scroll down to exclusions > then browse to your HB path > then save.
