As someone who has been running a modding website for so long, I've seen big sites going down. From the RADEN, CNCDEN, Planet CnC, among others.... one of those was Filefront (later renamed to GameFront) and its Command & Conquer subsection. It was a good location to find game patches, mods, some tools... and the good old movies from JohnWE. Those were fun times... and I've never tried to challenge his self-proclaimed title of being "the biggest C&C fan". He was really big in person. Much bigger than I am.

Anyway, GameFront was gone since 2016.... was.... was gone. Not anymore. Because it is back... since march 11th. Regarding JohnWE, I don't know how he is doing anymore. The Command & Conquer games there will certainly be handled by our friend Plokite Wolf, who also happens to be one of the guys behind CNCNZ.com. The whole portal was bought by DBolical, the same group that owns ModDB.com.

And GameFront is now one big site. Go there, find your game and browse its files. It should be a good place to mirror your mod files. Here's their welcome message:

Quote:
We're super excited to welcome everybody back to the new and improved GameFront!    

The new site utilises data which was backed up by the GameFront team, who have restored it to its former glory in an all new custom built website, meaning it will be the definitive place to find all the classic GameFront files, with previously lost author, description, readme and other metadata fully restored. In addition, the site also features fully restored news articles, as well as the original GameFront forums.

But we’re not just about nostalgia, the new website allows creators to upload unlimited gaming files to their accounts quickly and easily, suggest new games and categories and fully customise their profile and download pages with images, videos and more, to make your own unique portal for your creations.    Finally, a shout out to all the volunteers from the original GameFront and newcomers to the team who, over the last number of months have worked very hard and tirelessly to restore GameFront to it’s former glory. You guys are all amazing.

This is truly the GameFront we always imagined, built by the community, for the community.  

- The GameFront Team

Interesting to see such a resurrection. I don't think I used File-/GameFront much myself, but the site looks good and refreshed.

They haven't restored it properly, like there is no YR section, TS - Firestorm section doesn't have any files.
