Old FH forums will be taken down
« on: 06-10-2013, 04:10:50 »
As the forum software of the Gamingforums is about 20 versions old, hacked and has a massive database (posts from 1999), they've decided to do a fresh start and integrate new forums with the main Gamefront site. This means all old stuff will be terminated.

Good riddance some may say, though it's not like the old forums are nothing but an archive now. When these forums were created, some members refused to move on and the two camps started hating each other, but I don't think anyone feels so strongly about it anymore as no one has actively posted there in years.

I guess they have some historical value, as for example every FH news update since 2003 has a discussion there. If you need to grab anything from there, do it now:
http://forums.filefront.com/battlefield-mod-forgotten-hope-479/

They've also decided to wind down the community sites. This means Battlefield 1942 Files will be most likely shut down. It probably has some nice old BF1942 mod files, so if you have anything to archive see:
http://battlefield1942.filefront.com/

Registered on 2007.., I know some people have even more time in these forums, back then everything was so different.., now I'm 20, back then I was 13, holy crap.


Can't see these forums without thinking "What happened to this guy...".

Yeah, whoever wrote that could have put it a bit more gently. I suppose it's not important now that the old forums are going down.

I was never that active on the FileFront forums, but I'll certainly miss the community sites. It's a shame they never worked properly after the brief shutdown.

Thanks for the heads up though. I had a bunch of stuff uploaded to DoWfiles and it's nice to be able to back it all up.
