Yay! I don't use filefront often, but it is a huge repository of downloads and I'm glad to see it will still be there...

oh and first!

 

[mightymax]

Well this is good news indeed! Don't want fileplanet to take over the whole gaming download industry and force more of their subscription fees through "open" betas and such...

 

[dravis12]

Excellent! Filefront has a lot of hard to find content such as compatibility patches for old games etc. Glad to hear they are still afloat.

 

[RiotSniperX]

Great! Filefront is an awesome game download place.

 

[Grims]

Bet there is some ticked off people at FilePlanet who were already deciding how to spend their new bonuses.

 

[megamanx00]

yay

This is certainly unexpected good news. Whenever I use FileFront more than any other similar site so this certainly makes me happy.

 

[gwolfman]

Ditto to everyone's comments above!

I'm glad they are staying open i have used FileFront for many game downloads and patches over the years.

This is soo awsome! I'm still waiting for "Black Mesa" (HalfLife) mod to be released. Big thanks to the original Founders! Woo Hoo!!!

 

[nukem950]

I am so glad they are sticking around! That has been MY place to get all sorts of stuff for all of my games.

I only use FileFront, you never have to wait to download. It's always a competitor with Fileplanet. FileFront's download system is far superior by the mere fact you'll be downloading in less than 10 seconds, instead of FilePlanet's 1-30 minute wait time crap.

phew!

Very nice!

 

[idisarmu]

Thank God they are still up.

I really like filefront. I always downloaded FC2 maps from them.

TY TY TY TY. I love filefront.

 

[ravenware]

What a way to give Ziff Davis Media the middle finger.


Kick ass.

 

[neiroatopelcc]

Great news!

 

[koss64]

Absolutly Fantastic

I hope that "The Founders" got it for 1$
Now that would be a good business deal, sell it when it's good for large $$$ and than buy it back for 1$ And the circle begins anew

FileFront is my primary download site for game related stuff like maps. I really didn't want it to go down. Sites like FilePlanet annoy me. So this is really good news
