A few weeks ago, we reported that FileFront was shutting its doors in this tough economic climate. Thankfully though, last minute negotiations made sure that FileFront actually stayed online.

The original founders of the site were able to buy it back from Ziff Davis, the struggling media house. While this announcement was made on April 1st, leading many to believe it was a hoax, the founders of FileFront reassured everyone that the news was in fact real. Perhaps they should have waited for April 2nd to make the announcement.
