    Received an email from FileFront saying they are closing down due to economy? Can anyone confirm?

    Economic climate.

    Ziff Davis pulled the plug. The filefront staff were unaware until their passwords were locked out and their email addresses ceased to function.

    well the website is still working.. and if the reason behind closing it is economic problem then the best option would be to sell it instead of shutting it down...

    Filefront was sold back to the original owners by Ziff Davis Media. It is back online and functional.

    Announcement - 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.
