FileFront.com - Back from the dead

[JaoSming]

See last post, but remember, you can still use these alternatives listed.





As previously noted by Benji, who is unable to create awesome global topics, http://www.filefront.com will be closing it's doors on March 30th. This means everything uploaded to their servers will no longer be available to download by both the uploader and the rest of us.

This means that if you have been waiting on something to download from there, you should do it now, and patch makers should go and download their stuff again incase they don't have their original release files.


Alternatives

Since the server and forum change here, we have been able to host files for non-team members.
http://www.nba-live.com/submit_download.php

Feel free to sumbit your patches there, however, we do prefer if the downloads are for the NBA Live Series.


So for your 2k9 needs, or if you want a more direct way of uploading hit up http://www.nbavg.org

Benji has been offering file hosting services for quite some time now and yet no one has seemed to really caught on to it. Since his site change you sign up for a blog and then upload files to the blog, a small tutorial on how to add files can be found here. http://nbavg.org/?p=38

If you have any further questions, feel free to PM me, Andrew, or benji (no you dont need to ask him permission, just sign up and start uploading).

Just kidding guys, looks like filefront was saved at the last second

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 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!

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!

Having said that, our offer of NBA Live patch submissions/hosting still stand and nbavg.org's services remain as yet another option to the patchmaking community as well.
