AmonRa wrote:Yes.. you read that correctly. The huge worldwide game network FileFront, will be shut down. This comes after a rough year, last year the company Ziff Davis (who own FileFront and several other sites and magazines) filed for bankruptcy protection.http://www.jksource.com is underconstruction
Earlier this year they sold one of their other major sites in an effort to gain revenue, and at the same time fired around 30 of their high positioned employees. It seems this hasn't help in the long run, especially with the current economic downfall around the globe, and as of today, information has leaked that the company has actually gone bankrupt.. however no official announcement has been made.
Being a member of the FileFront Network Staff myself, I was able to speak to several site admins, and forum administrators who confirmed the rumours to be true, and as you will see for yourself, the forum has been completely deleted:
http://forums.filefront.com
What you cant see, is the fact that not only the forum is removed, but access to the staff control panel for every game site on the network has been blocked also. It is a sad day for the network consisting of thousands of members. Some people remain hopeful that this is some 'april fools' prank, however the evidence speaks to the contrary, as much as I wish that were true. My sources have revealed that all the game sites are expected to permanently go offline at the end of this month, which as you know.. is not far away at all.
In light of these events, I put together a small team consisting of several other filefront staff who are downloading and archiving all files we can from the Jedi Knight Network Site (JK2 and JK3). Our plan is to have a replacement site online not long after the current ones go offline. Authors for files will of course be asked for permission before uploading to the new site, which means that no doubt, many files will be lost forever.
Some of the other game communities are also working on similiar projects to avoid severe losses, and to stop this from ending the game communities. With Jedi Academy already slowing dying, losing such a large community site will no doubt be the final blow to this game community.. unless we can do something about it.
This is where the new site comes into play, we are hoping to get the word spread amongst the JK community as fast as possible, to enable a smooth transition to the new site, and you can all help with this, the new site will be known as Jedi Knight Source... advertise the site everywhere, tell everyone you know, tell everyone you dont know.. its up to us to keep this game.. this communitiy.. alive.
