FileFront suspended indefinitely on March 30

Wow, that's a real bummer. I can't believe it. Had a bookmark for the site and everything. :(
 
why are the shutting down anyway, if its b/c of the economy, cant they just sell it to someone else who will keep the site running? or something along those lines?
 
Well even tho the message is up, people are still able to access the site & still download files, because I just started a download & didnt get any message saying "we do apologize, but the site is no longer available" or anything like that. So most likely they will keep up the site for a lil bit longer til they get all the files removed (which will take a freaking long time considering that they have over 48tb of data which is a butt load of data)!!
 
They still update their files and their downloads still work. The main message isnt on their site anymore.
 
I always used FileFront because it's fast and doesn't have all these flashy ads popping up at your like FilePlanet.

R.I.P. FileFront
YOU WILL BE REMEMBERED.
 
FileFront has been acquired by the original founders of the site and will NOT be suspended as previously announced. This is NOT an April Fool's Joke.

After learning about Ziff Davis Media's plan to shut down 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) The March 24th announcement about FileFront shutting down was NOT an early April Fool's joke and Ziff Davis Media had every intention of shutting down FileFront by the end of March.

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 shut down FileFront as an April Fool's joke.

5) We are happy to be back!

FileFront has existed in one form or another (originally as FileLeech and Voodoo Extreme's downloads) since 1997. In the last 12 years, FileFront has become the gaming community's 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!

I don't care if it was intended to be or not, this was totally an April Fools Joke. But I'm still trying to decide who the fool was.
