Forums - PC - FileFront shuts down

http://kotaku.com/5184106/say-goodbye-to-filefront

"A popular online destination for the latest computer game demos, patches, and mods, FileFront has announced that come March 30th it will be no more.

Visitors to FileFront today are being directed to a farewell message, explaining that the current economic environment has forced the website to close its doors indefinitely. Members of the site are cautioned to save any blog posts or stored files before Monday, March 30th, or risk losing them forever.

We would like to give a warm thank you to all of you who have been part of the FileFront communities we have built together. Your support has had a meaningful impact for all of us here at FileFront. Again, we want to give you a sincere "thank you" for your support over the years and wish you all the very best.

FileFront owner Ziff Davis held on to the PC games site during the sale of the 1UP Network to UGO early this year, but alas, it wasn't meant to be.

Farewell, FileFront! You had a great run, and your 90 terabytes of storage space shall be sorely missed."

"The current economic environment."

Doesn't that translate into: "We never figured out how to get an actual revenue stream going so we've just been burning investor capital instead. Now that people are no longer investing like morons, we can't survive."

Takes me back to the 'ole dot com days.

I think they have a Wolf3D mod I made there. I better get it before it's lost.
