FileFront, which is currently in its tenth year of service to the online gaming community, will be closing its doors for good at the end of March.
“We regret to inform you that due to the current economic conditions we are forced to indefinitely suspend the FileFront site operations on March 30, 2009,” said the site in a goodbye statement. “If you have uploaded files, images or posted blogs, or if you would like to download some of your favorite files, please take this opportunity to download them before March 30th when the site will be suspended.”
This is a huge loss for anyone that’s enjoyed the site’s services for either downloading patches, movies, or sharing files of their own. “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,” the statement continued. “Keep gaming alive.”

OMG!
I am so glad I grabbed the titan pack from them today!
Seriously, these guys have been KICK ASS for longer than CounterStrike. I loved that they had reasonable speeds, and moderate adds. It's a shame that a certain mirror who makes you sign up, then hounds you to pay more to not wait in line, while wait times are avg. 20 min.... isn't going under.
R.I.P. FF
RIP
P.S. can I buy a server from you?
O_O

It's 12:03 AM here, March 31, and I can still download the files! Maybe it's a really really bad joke.

If they set up a paypal site, I will send them some help. I've gotten so many rare files from this site. No other site compares to this one. Gay. Just GAY.

I don't even want to think about all the old game patches that are only on FileFront, which will be lost.
Never even heard of it, now

Never even heard of it, now I know why it's going kaput!
How can you not have heard

How can you not have heard of it? The only reasonable excuse would be your being a console gamer, in which case you should probably know that this here's PC turf.
I mean seriously, I've been using this site for over seven years now; literally since I was twelve. You have to have heard of this before.

Are you kidding me? Do you play PC games? Are you really really young, maybe?
