FileFront Reopens Its Doors

Posted by Soulskill on from the flip-flopping-file-foisters dept.

boarder8925 writes "FileFront, who announced on March 24th that they would be shutting down, has been given new life. The original owners of the website bought it back from Ziff Davis Media, who shut down FileFront because it had become financially unviable. 'We're happy to announce to the gaming community that as of today, April 1st, 2009, FileFront is a completely independent company again and is no longer part of Ziff Davis Media. All previously suspended services should be active and working again. We thank Ziff Davis Media for their cooperation and willingness to keep the site and community alive.' They repeatedly state that this is not an April Fool's Day joke, and indeed the site appears to be up and running as usual."

      They were clearly too big to fail.

      Nah, they're obviously morally opposed to shutting down before Duke Nukem Forever is released, meaning they're going to be around until the heat death of the universe.

    The more of you who leave, the less unprofitable they will be.

    There's a strategy in there somewhere.
