FileFront shutting down!

Postby Blah » Wed Mar 25, 2009 11:23 pm

HOLY $h!t! FILE FRONT LIVES!

After learning that Ziff Davis, of Ziff Davis Media, would be shutting down FileFront March 30 of '09, The original Founders of FileFront have bought it back from Ziff Davis media...

What does this mean?

Well, Filefront will be an independent thing, company, whatever again and...

FILEFRONT LIVES! ...AGAIN!

This sucks harder than a $20 whore!

Think of all the custom content people have uploaded over the years! Some probably uploaded stuff years ago and forgot about it.

Now it seems most will be lost forever, fading into nothingness :(

-If you do have anything uploaded to FileFront, i suggest you download it post haste!- (Doors close March 30th!)

This is a real shame, cuz I've used filefront for lots of files. And i know lots of others use it as well to share their files with others. I always wondered how they were able to provide so much bandwidth seemly for free! They have Ads on their site but from my experience with Ads, i know they provide no where near enough to keep dinner on the table. They will be missed, looks like now we will all be once again forced to use fileplanet and rapid-$h!t.
Meaning with out consequences, isn't pointless, and is always avoidable.

I would chop my balls off and sell them on the black market, then shoot myself in the face with the new gun I bought from the sale of my balls.

Yeah this is really surprising, I've also used it for a lot of things back in the day.

Is this final? Is it never coming back?

It probably won't ever come back afterwards... If it does, it will be in an ENTIRE new form...

That is IF it ever shuts down :tongue5:

They said it would shutdown March 30th, and in my timezone it's March 31st :)

I have the odd feeling tomorrow there will be in big red letters "APRIL FOOLS!" on Filefront, even though they said it wasn't a joke.

Omg you're so right! Perfect timing for such a joke, it's never good to do it exactly on April 1. But man I totaly forgot about April, haha, great joke!

...Unless it's not...

Am I the only one that though Filefront was gay in the first place?
