lol, no it's UT3 - Demoguy in a Doom map (with shotgun) :D

I was asking because I couldn't recognize the weapon. It looks similar to the shotgun used in Judge Dredd.

Brizz, it's hard to believe that BU mirror wouldn't generate at least 1 download a month. The FAQ says that files stay if at least one download a month is generated by *any* of your hosted files. If I understand this correctly, then if you have ~100 files, at least one of the hundred will generate a download thus all other will stay.

Yes and TYVM. I could download my files on time. Yes, I am lame, always lazy until I face the last second. :p

the last second. :p
It's a pretty damn long second then. Filefront is still up, march 31st. April fools then isn't it? Don't know why they've done it, it's not like saying the site is closing is going to draw traffic to you (logically).

ED: second thought: maybe it will because everyone will be busy downloading their files... Hmmm...

Can't be. They announced that they were closing way before April 1st.

Yeah again I doubt it's a joke. But if it is one, they're some ****s ****ed up in the A who needs a shower. I'm sure there was a decent source somewhere on why it has to close down, and it wasn't looking like they've made it all up.

Most ***hole joke simply.

March 31st, 3:24PM GMT-5. Upload "Down for maintenance" but download still up. For something not economically viable, they sure are taking their time closing down.

Ziff Davis going bankrupt probably has nothing to do with it.

Yep, site error. my guess is that they let time for their users to download everything. Or they said March 30TH when it was April 1st. Just so people DON'T THINK IT'S A APRIL JOKE.
