FileFront has been acquired by the original founders of the siteand will NOT be suspended as previously announced. This is NOT an AprilFool's Joke.

After learning about Ziff Davis Media's plan to shut down FileFrontat the end of March, the original founders of FileFront made thedecision 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 againand is no longer part of Ziff Davis Media. All previously suspendedservices should be active and working again. We thank Ziff Davis Mediafor their cooperation and willingness to keep the site and communityalive.

 

Due to the very unfortunate timing of this event and relatedannouncements on March 24th and April 1st (April Fool's Day), we'd liketo make it perfectly clear that:

1) The March 24th announcement about FileFront shutting down was NOTan early April Fool's joke and Ziff Davis Media had every intention ofshutting 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 wascompleted today and we want to bring all services back onlineimmediately.

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 asFileLeech and Voodoo Extreme's downloads) since 1997. In the last 12years, FileFront has become the gaming community's most comprehensiveand trafficked library hosting millions of files for thousands of gameswhile requiring no registration and providing uncapped download speeds.We look forward to improving FileFront and serving the gaming communityfor years to come.

Welcome home. Game On!
