FileFront Slams Shut Today, Deleting 48 TB of User Gaming Data

| 1 Comment
Ziff-Davis is abruptly shuttering FileFront, a site for gaming patches, user-generated levels, and related content: With five days' warning, ZD is already dismantling this massive, high-traffic collection of gaming content. It's a very strange move, guaranteed to piss off gamers for all eternity. An effort has been underway since the announcement to download and migrate content. One user reports 48 terabytes (TB) of data were stored at FileFront. [link via Bruno. Thanks!]

It looks like it will survive. The original founders bought the site back from Ziff-Davis.
