Another Casualty

For those of you who use Filefront to download demos, patches and mods for your PC games, there is some sad news. As of March 30th ( yes, that is this upcoming Monday ) service at Filefront will be suspended indefinitely. Upon accessing Filefront, users are greeted with this message:


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.

You heard 'em, folks. If you have any files up on Filefront that you don't want to lose, make sure you grab 'em before Monday. "Troubled Economic Times?" This wouldn't happen to have anything to do with parent company Ziff Davis' insolvent condition, would it? First, the sale of the 1up network to UGO ( who promptly gutted 1up's corpse and fucked the wound ) and now this. Yet another valuable resource down the toilet.

RIP Filefront. You will be missed.
