That's terrible! Where oh where will I download my Dawn of War mods now?! I can't help but wonder why they're "forced" to shut down, everything seemed fine and dandy.
EDIT: Oh, and the link you posted doesn't load for some reason. (now it loads...)
EDIT2: According to http://games.slashdot.org/article.pl.../03/26/0443239 it's due to the turn in the economy. This is how bad it's gotten I guess.

It's just a terrible MMO. I wouldn't bother touching it if I were you, if I recall it has gore, but the gameplay is generic and dull.
EDIT: I suppose I shouldn't be so harsh, but the game is pretty much built FOR grinding. Really high level cap, and no quests if I recall. However, I will give it the fact that the spell effects and animations are INCREDIBLE. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVKSKstoqKM for an example.
Done derailing.

Ziff Davis, the media concern which used to own FileFront has not given an "official" reason, but economic downfall is a very good bet. ZD has filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy quite a while ago. After this they sold the 1Up network and discontinued the "Gaming Today" news service, all due to financial troubles.
Ex employees from Filefront are working on setting up a new network, which would be privately owned. They have managed to salvage most, if not all of the mods previously hosted on the network websites. "Official" news from these ex-employees will be posted in this forum, whilst more information about the closing is available here. Information supplied on that forum comes from high-ranking volunteers on Filefronts' forum and network, and the previously stated paid (ex-)employees.

After learning about Ziff Davis Media's plan to shut down FileFront at the end of March, the original founders of FileFront made the decision to buy it back from Ziff Davis Media.
We're happy to announce to the gaming community that as of today, April 1st, 2009, FileFront is a completely independent company again and is no longer part of Ziff Davis Media. All previously suspended services should be active and working again. We thank Ziff Davis Media for their cooperation and willingness to keep the site and community alive.
Due to the very unfortunate timing of this event and related announcements on March 24th and April 1st (April Fool's Day), we'd like to make it perfectly clear that:
1) The March 24th announcement about FileFront shutting down was NOT an early April Fool's joke and Ziff Davis Media had every intention of shutting down FileFront by the end of March.
2) This announcement about the original founders buying back FileFront from Ziff Davis Media is also NOT an April Fool's joke.
3) We're making this announcement on April 1st because the deal was completed today and we want to bring all services back online immediately.
4) We would NEVER shut down FileFront as an April Fool's joke.
5) We are happy to be back!
FileFront has existed in one form or another (originally as FileLeech and Voodoo Extreme's downloads) since 1997. In the last 12 years, FileFront has become the gaming community's most comprehensive and trafficked library hosting millions of files for thousands of games while requiring no registration and providing uncapped download speeds. We look forward to improving FileFront and serving the gaming community for years to come.
Welcome home. Game On! Mod needs to change the name of the thread.
