3DFiles and TweakFiles close down: We have been informed today that 3DFILES. COM will be closed down. The current ad situation combined with the very expensive FTP costs makes it impossible for us to survive any longer.

We have been informed today that 3DFILES.COM will be closed down. The current ad situation combined with the very expensive FTP costs makes it impossible for us to survive any longer. ZDNet has been kind enough to give us time to say good bye and even choose the day that we will close, September 14, our 4 Year Anniversary. Its been a hell of a ride since we started out doing this as just a hobby page and have grown to about 800,000 visitors per day. Those of you using the free email service, it should stay online for quite some time so don´t fear.

TweakFiles was started around 9/99 by Tim and I, (Jim), came on board around 12/99. Since then we have grown to around 500,000 ad views per day. The problem is ad views aren´t worth what they used to be and the ftp service to host the files has grown dramatically. We found out yesterday that C|Net and GameSpot have decided to close TweakFiles down. Our final day will be 9/14/01.
