jk3files/jk2files down
PostPosted:Sun Jul 26, 2015 7:32 am
Hello Everyone, thank you for reading this. I have to say a sad news, you might know or didn't know, but that alright. In case, Jk2files/jk3files is down and will not come back. And I am sure we have best memories and have fun with map, modding, and other they has provided. And I understand some of you don't have an access to jk2files/jk3files, that wasn't treated everyone across the international. That is why we have jkhub, without them, we would have not have an international that have an access to jk3files to have their favorite maps and so on to download. We are thankful that jkhub have works so hard to provide everyone on international to be treated, so they can download modding ,map, and so on. I understand that is very frustation, and I can see they works hard to address with code issues they are dealing with for many years. Sorry to say, it will not be back.
So here what the Gamefront just announced.
Jack Mills: Hey all,
While the fact that the Network Sites are now, suddenly, offline may come as a surprise to many, we all knew this day would come.
Of course, the websites were a big part of the history and overall contribution to GameFront for a lengthy period of time. They brought with them a thriving community based around popular titles of the time and files that couldn't be found anywhere else on the internet. (literally) Of course, we had our spats and occasional turbulent times, but in the end we all came together as one big family.
The problem is, the house we lived in wasn't built in a way that could allow those who didn't create it, to fix its issues properly. When you try to fix one thing, several other sections would break down. Of course, when you bring in a team that has never seen the network site code before and ask them to repair the issues, you're going to find that it's as daunting a task as asking a toddler to stop saying "no".
So, because of the difficulty and amount of work it would take to even learn how everything operated before anything could be fixed, it was pushed to the back burner to fix other portions of GameFront.
Now, I would like to say in the defense of our corporate overlords that they did return to the network sites to look into them when they could, but, as I said above about not knowing what made what work, they ended up not doing much of anything to fix the issues. It's not their fault, the way the sites were coded were never really meant to make sense to those who created it as they never expected others to ever look at it.
So here we are, a large portion of GameFront that hasn't been able to be updated in years, mixed with random issues that plague it such as screenshots randomly not loading even when they're physically there or the load balance issue that forced you to refresh the page until you were given a valid link to download a file from. It went from a symbol of gaming quality to a blotch on GameFront that made us look broken.
The sites were taken offline and will not return. Right now, we're working on getting the domains to redirect to their respective GameFront counterparts. But, the network sites as you knew them are gone.
I apologize to those who still used them and throughout the years of their use, I thank the volunteers that participated in making them work. Without your support, they wouldn't have lasted nearly as long as they have.
Thanks,

And in case, if you want to bring back your favorite maps, or whatever from the jk3files, this link below will redirect to you and you can get the maps, and so on.

I don't think the archive will works with a download, but it is a good to get a list of mods and other stuffs.
