As the topic says, FileFront will be shutting down it's site indefinitely on March 30th 2009.

Here's what it says on the site:

This is sad news to many and at such a short notice too. Wonder what other sites will be affected by the current economic situation.

I'm guessing its because the revenue from ads have dropped alot in the last few months, companies are cutting back and advertising is an easy one to cut out. Since there running costs would be high because of bandwidth, they really need the ad money, and so can't really adapt.

I would not be surprised if other "file" sites go down, and since alot of homebrew is hosted on "file" sites that could be bad news for the homebrew scene.....

R.I.P. FileFront :( This is the end of all things good as we know it. The 21st century f*ck*ng sucks!

I hope they will replace it with a website that looks and does the same.
Such a shame. :(

Or this is a April fools day joke :P

This isnt good at all,ima be downloading everything off that site,brb.
