Farewell page on Filefront

Really, really sucks. I love using filefront. It was easily the best site for downloading game files/videos. Easy-to-use interface, search features, and high download speeds.



edit: UPDATE FileFront lives on!

this does suck. It was the best site for downloading UT3 maps. Straight forward and easy. But I can't see that much money in providing a free bandwidth sink. Seems to happen to all sites like this eventually, just like all those old free online storage sites I can't even remember the name of anymore

lol seriously... I played UT3 for a few hours, then just was like... well.. this sucks!

I love UT2K4 still though. My favorite multi-player FPS game of all time. The matches are so intense with the amount of dodging and aiming while moving around that goes on! Man... I haven't watched some of the high-level play in that game in a long time...

rofl at the UT3 derail.

Gonna miss filefront though, so much more legit and convenient than rapidshare for downloaders.

:/ I liked filefront the most for getting patches and stuff, was always a good reliable place to go looking for files. Most of Stylish's FPVods are still on Filefront as well. I guess it's time to transfer them over to Youtube.

From what I know, blackboard is pretty expensive, that's why our school is switching from it to the open source, free, Moodle, although it really can't compare with blackboard in terms of organization and usefulness.
This statement is a lie.

??? Moodle actually works better than Blackboard for me... but then again, we don't use it for much besides forums and posting files.

I remember there was a thread about "has the economic downturn affected you". Now I can definitely say yes.
No I'm never serious.

I just don't get it why your university isn't using it's own servers for such things... My university isn't the biggest around and every faculty has it's own server + it's distributing bandwidth over the whole city for some companies and stuff...
Wouldn't storing .pdf files and other material on your own machine be better/cheaper for the university?

How did these sites ever make money anyway, even with the ads

people play ut3?

A little bit more now that the Titan Pack is out and Steam did the free weekends. But in general, no. I don't either. I just like to look at original maps and see what people have created. I play UT99 a lot, but not really UT3

This is almost as bad as Divx stage 6 going under.


And that was pretty terrible.
