Hmm there are many items hosted on theyre servers. They had an really slow downloading speed, like 300 kb / sec and I can get 2 mb / sec + on other sites, I dont think this is an joke to be honest but I wouldnt care if they shut it down. It was good for streaming PK video's tho
Torrents > * >.>
Well, that really does suck. That was the best site to UL movies and get em pretty much instantly ready for vewing.
Especially since YouTube is copyright blocking all my movies and shuttin the sound off. >.< I will miss FF.
Yeah I read about this, It really surprised me because they put such a short notice. Most companies that go out of business give at least a month - month and a half notice before shutting down.
the most are on youtubeBut half of the KO videos are hosted on filefront. :P[/b]
Yea stage6 was so much better then anything else and will still be for a while. To bad it wasnt that populated at ko4life before it shut down.
Bad News.
AgreeStage 6 (before it shut down) > all. High quality vids ftw![/b]
april joke ftw.
I don't think it is. There is another topic in Off topic that says they are closing down due to the economic crisis.
well so far its up ^^
any big news that you hear around april 1 = april fools joke = fake
Yay! It's staying... btw they said that it wasn't a joke.
yep just saw it myselfYay! It's staying... btw they said that it wasn't a joke.[/b]
FileFront will remain open, the recent news however was NOT an early April Fool's joke, instead the original founders purchased it and FileFront now stand as a independent company again:
"After learning about Ziff Davis Media's 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.
We're 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 Fool's Day), we'd like to make it perfectly clear that:
1) 1) The March 24th announcement about FileFront suspending its operation was NOT an early April Fool's joke.
2) This announcement about the original founders buying back FileFront from Ziff Davis Media is also NOT an April Fool's joke.
3) We're 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 Fool's joke.
5) We are happy to be back!..
.. Welcome home. Game On!"[/b]
