FileFront is shutting down operations for good on March 30. If you have any files uploaded there switch hosting sites now. I know I've downloaded some great mod files from there for various games. :(

As announced March 25, 2009, FileFront site operations will be indefinitely suspended on March 30, 2009.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference">[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FileFront#cite_note-1)</sup><sup id="cite_ref-ffclosing-Snews_2-0" class="reference">[3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FileFront#cite_note-ffclosing-Snews-2)</sup>. However a massive undertaking by a large number of the former FileFront employees and the network staff to backup all the downloads for the network sites (formerly known as the FilesNetwork) was started just before the announcement in the hopes that they can relaunch the network under a new name without the loss of any of the content.

i hope they get a bailout - FileFront is certainly too big to fail.

Do you think this an April Fool's joke? I don't see why a company would do that but the timing is questionable.
