Ziff Davis Media pulls the Plug on FileFront? - Page 2

He made a lot of progress since then though.

And it's not only the current admins planning like that, there is also a plan regarding Elite Force only. I won't go into detail though until we have a real concept up for this.

A lot of FileFront people are gathering on a place called The Rogue Forums, it is also the place where I originally obtained this information. TRF consists of FileFront staff & members, both old and new.

The forum is going to be a hub of the recovery effort on the behalf of FileFront Staff members and at present, several people there are doing their best to recover Network Sites databases.

A sub-forum has been created to allow Senior Members of the FileFront Staff to maintain a direct line of communication and keep everyone in the loop on what is going on;

This will probably end up in several split networks developing now, seeing I know of at least 3 different projects.

The Tenth Doctor · 03-25-2009, 01:44 PM

I'm not even sure how to use that, and even if I did, I question the legality.

is there a way to download all EFFILES and BCFILES at once?

is someone planning to make a Complete ISO of all EFFILES or BCFILES?

The Community manager (Jeff/n0e) sent out an e-mail earlier today, I would imagine it will result in the staff run projects being reorganised and consolidated.

Fifteen GIGABITES in one go, Rhys? Um... no.

But I encourage you to do your best, because after the 30th, you won't have a chance.

Might work for the website itself (pages, images, scripts), would be a bit difficult for the actual content but as long as we have a backup of just the website, finding the files wouldn't be much of a problem . . .

rhys · 03-25-2009, 02:22 PM

I am downloading all the RPG Maps, Mods, Textures, Skins for elite force

I am then going to download all the ships,mods ect from BC

I will upload them into an ISO.

Not all of these projects are being started by the staff though.

rhys · 03-25-2009, 02:39 PM

iam trying to see what i can do about the website.

John · 03-25-2009, 02:47 PM

I'm not Luke but I can answer the space on the EFR site question.

We don't know how much space we have exactly as we only asked for a small amount of space however once our host is online I can ask him and find out how much space there is

The Tenth Doctor · 03-25-2009, 02:50 PM

Yeah, I mean, at EFR we will be linking to new hosts or whatever but also providing the same sorts of text reviews that Effiles did for each file, so whilst we won't host, you can still find the files and links to them.

I think thats the plan, and of course, this is after all the files have found a new home / third party links.

rhys · 03-25-2009, 03:01 PM

iam planning to download the website and hopefully the files withit.

Pille · 03-25-2009, 03:03 PM

Eh....you are aware that the site is on a completly different server than the files?

rhys · 03-25-2009, 03:03 PM

oh well then i will do the website first and then see if i can get the files at once.

AdmiralHocking · 03-25-2009, 03:05 PM

Sorry, but fail of epic proportions.

Pille · 03-25-2009, 03:11 PM

Here we have one of the rare cases where Hocking and I agree 100 % and more...

I don't see you coming with any alternatives, just some bitching & moaning to someone who actually tries to do something. Regardless of when actually fails, I give him credit for actually trying . . .

Nice to see you taking every chance you get to throw something at me without actually knowing me.

As it happens, I have been downloading files from EFFiles since yesterday.

rhys · 03-25-2009, 03:26 PM

i have currently downloaded a portion of the site there is over 5000 + pages so there is still a bit left

...Just a bit...

AdmiralHocking · 03-25-2009, 03:39 PM

I wouldn't worry about the site itself Rhys, the files are what is actually important.

At present, I have 1.12GB of the 15 total.
