From the looks of their recent advertising efforts I saw this one coming. Franky I think they finally got bought out by IGN/Gamespy/Evil Empires trying to control our gaming

Recent advertising efforts?


Anyway, it's sad to see that FileFront's finally coming to an end. :(
Where will I host my mods?

The corporate demon has captured yet another innocent soul and taken it to the deeps of Hell. We're next.

Too bad. FileFront was neat, specially the pages dedicated to games, halflife.filefront.com and stuff.

Hm, the STALKER weapon pack in my signature still works.

But the actual download doesn't. It worked a little while ago, which is odd.

Wow. Filefront. Probably one of the greatest best-known filehosting companies I've ever seen (In terms of gaming). It was so easy to use, and was free to everyone.

Hopefully it'll come back at some point, but until then, everyone's going to have to find a new place to host all their stuff...

FileFront has pulled through! :D

Apparently the original owners bought the site from Ziff Davis Media.

Check it out here: http://welcome.filefront.com/.

1) The March 24th announcement about FileFront shutting down was NOT an early April Fool's joke and Ziff Davis Media had every intention of shutting down FileFront by the end of March.

2) This announcement about the original founders buying back FileFront from Ziff Davis Media is also NOT an April Fool's joke.

3) We're making this announcement on April 1st because the deal was completed today and we want to bring all services back online immediately.

4) We would NEVER shut down FileFront as an April Fool's joke.

5) We are happy to be back!

Man, this is great news!

I was happy to see they got bought out.
