Filefront to be suspended indefinitely on March 30

The financial crisis hasn't been very nice to Filefront it seems, the site will be suspended indefinitely on March 30 ... If there is anything you want to save from this site, now might be the right time to do it.

 

We regret to inform you that due to the current economic conditions we are forced to indefinitely suspend the FileFront site operations on March 30, 2009. If you have uploaded files, images or posted blogs, or if you would like to download some of your favorite files, please take this opportunity to download them before March 30th when the site will be suspended.

 

We would like to give a warm thank you to all of you who have been part of the FileFront communities we have built together. Your support has had a meaningful impact for all of us here at FileFront. Again, we want to give you a sincere “thank you” for your support over the years and wish you all the very best.

 

Keep gaming alive,

 

FileFront Management and Team.

 

Hurry get all your Stricnyne / Shad videos!

It's funny, this makes me kinda sad...

 

Filefront was one of the original gamer up/download sites; I remember grabbing MW2 files from that place when the only '3D games' were in DOS mode.

 

All the the great mods that have literally changed gaming were hosted there: Anyone remember when Counterstrike and Team Fortress were Quake mods? That's right, Quake mods, before they became legendary mods for HalfLife, when valve was a bunch of moders in their basements.

 

And where could you snag those great mods? Yup, filefront.

Is there any hosting space on this domain to host those videos?

It does. I had d/l'd stric's videos at one point with the intention of hosting them on fp.com, but never got around to it, like a lot of other things...

 

I'll see what I have. I might have deleted them, though.

I'm pretty sure I still have all the videos Chris and Jon made on one of my computers. I might have to bring it down in a couple of weeks to see if Kimball can salvage them.

We should have the space. I have all of Chris' videos on my home computer along with mine. I don't know about setting up something to stream them on the site, I don't think our bandwidth is that amazing, but we could at least set up some kind of storage repository.

FileFront has been acquired by the original founders of the site and will NOT be suspended as previously announced. This is NOT an April Fool's Joke.

 

After learning about Ziff Davis Media's plan to shut down FileFront at the end of March, the original founders of FileFront made the decision to buy it back from Ziff Davis Media.
