So GameFront is closing down (http://www.gamefront.com/gamefront-is-closing-down-april-30-2016/) and they urge everyone to download their files since they won't be available any more after April 30.
I don't know how many mods are still hosted on that site but we should try to save any essentials mods in case the original authors are not around any more and the files are not available from other sources.

My work as well as the GWX files are suitably spread across numerous alternative sources.
Shame to see another file haven go down though.

Thanks for the notice, aergistal
I will send an email alert to all the listed Subsim modmen, guys who can upload here.

Just my opinion, but I think FileFront/GameFront died years ago. It just took this long for them to notice. :dead:
Just popped in for the first time in a year or so, most of my stuff has gone but I am not bothered as its all here on Subsims now.

As far as I'm concerned they died in 2010 when they changed hands and issued the if there aren't x number of downloads in a month we flush your files. All my mods, and any I had control of that the author wasn't around any more immediately came to Subsim. All my videos went to You Tube and I never went back to GameFront/FileFront again.

Pretty much the same here but add MediaFire to the list of where I also transferred files to :yep:

That is because they are suspected of containing harmful data.

Hey Blitz, I got

All I know, I won't chance it.
Be sure to upload copies here, of any files you guys get off GameFront. :yep: It's fine to store them on other media banks but it's a matter of time before they go dark too. File storage ain't cheap.

Ding Dong! The Witch is dead.
Which old Witch?
The Wicked Witch!
Ding Dong! The Wicked Witch is dead.
Wake up you sleepy head,
Rub your eyes,
Get out of bed.
Wake up, the Wicked Witch is dead.
She's gone where the goblins go,
Below - below -
Below. Yo-ho,
Let's open up and sing and ring the bells out.
Ding Dong' the merry-oh,
sing it high,
sing it low.
Let them know the Wicked Witch is dead!
Just couldn't resist.:arrgh!:
