“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,” reads the site’s farewell letter. “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.”

That really sucks. Lots of modders rely on Filefront for hosting mods etc.

RIP Ziff Davis, seems like theyre not going to survive this depression much longer.

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



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



Were happy to announce to the gaming community that as of today, April 1st, 2009, FileFront is a completely independent company again and is no longer part of Ziff Davis Media. All previously suspended services should be active and working again. We thank Ziff Davis Media for their cooperation and willingness to keep the site and community alive.



Due to the very unfortunate timing of this event and related announcements on March 24th and April 1st (April Fools Day), wed like to make it perfectly clear that:



1) 1) The March 24th announcement about FileFront suspending its operation was NOT an early April Fools joke.



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



3) Were 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 suspend FileFront as an April Fools joke.



5) We are happy to be back!



FileFront has existed in one form or another (originally as FileLeech and Voodoo Extremes downloads) since 1997. In the last 12 years, FileFront has become the gaming communitys most comprehensive and trafficked library hosting millions of files for thousands of games while requiring no registration and providing uncapped download speeds. We look forward to improving FileFront and serving the gaming community for years to come.



Welcome home. Game On!
