GameFront / Filefront is CLOSING DOWN

[AZ-Stalker]

The archive team have already backed up the entire filefront remains, but that's a horrid mess to search via wayback machine. So we still need to grab as much as we can to make sure.

If they caught the main GameFront structure, you'll be able to use my list and links based on that to search through it. Some FileFront networks (the old ones) were preserved respectably, too.

 

I also noticed something in C&C files - they mostly logged only 3 downloads in the past 2 weeks each. Guess not many people are even arsed to archive.

I guess you've done a better job than most then. Where will you be reuploading all of that stuff and in what structure/system?

ModDB, once I get to breathe and organize them a bit if needed. It'll look kinda like this: http://www.moddb.com/games/star-trek-starfleet-command-orion-pirates/addons/sfc-op-gamefront-pack

Renegade covered. I discarded the Media part (as with other games, it's less relevant) and things that already exist on ModDB, including RenAlert and Reborn (I suppose W3D Hub should have them anyway - tell me by tomorrow morning if this needs to be downloaded as well, as I'm out for most of the day).

So its not April 30 anywhere in the world anymore right? The site is still up wut? (I didn't expect an immediate shutdown on May 1 but i expected something to change...)

They must consider "shutting down" to mean what GameSpy thought it meant. which is: leave it unmanaged until it implodes.

Anyone going to watch that hostname?
