Erm, if you follow you're link again now it says that they've bought it back

On the 1st April as well... bad day to broker a deal and try to convince the public of it.

Anyway, 4th now and it's still there so presumably it really wasn't a joke.

Quote:

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) 1) The March 24th announcement about FileFront suspending its operation was NOT an early April Fool's joke.

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 suspend FileFront as an April Fool's joke.

5) We are happy to be back!

Sweet.

Publicity stunt?

Maybe Dave. Sometimes the Corporate world is dumber than dog squeeze. They need to get feedback from folks to see what they need to do.
