I am posting this topic here since it will have a huge impact on the media section, everybody should save their files and videos to their computer or other sites. Everybody should spread the word because theres less than a week left to this website.

FILEFORNT IS SHUTTING DOWN

[spoiler]Its possible that they are building up an April Fools Joke, but its best to save your files anyways.[/spoiler]

Its better safe than sorry, but I wouldnt be surprised if they opened back up on April the 1st.

seems unlikely but at the same time, i cant see a site like that playing an april fools joke like that... guess we'll see on the 1st

Hi Willy. :lol:

Stage 6 (before it shut down) > all. High quality vids ftw!

[Metalkon]

But half of the KO videos are hosted on filefront. :P

[Perkenso]

would be sad if they close it

Wow I almost forgot about stage 6... Anyways FF isn't going 2 shutdown. No way it would they day before April Fools.

I dont think it's an April Fools thing. Ziff Davis Media has been having alot of troubles financially, they sold 1UP to another company, they stopped production of the Official Playstation Magazine, Electronic Gaming Monthly ( EGM ) had it's last issue printed in january. And now it looks like FileFront will be shutting down as well
The company did file for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy last year, and apparently there 90 Terabytes of Storage in their systems.... that kind of space/bandwidth is nowhere NEAR cheap

woah woah, both PSM AND EGM are gone?

[phantomlink]

EGM has been gone for months, and OPSM was cancelled sometime last year, but just recently another company has picked it back up so it's being published again
