FilePlanet was a site that distributed game files and some other software, the site had fallen into disuse with the GameSpy shutdown and was in an archival state until it got sold by IGN to some Slovenian bastards who go by Innova Media...
Now the files are gone and completely replaced by malware, and people who are trying to find old files are getting infected by this piece of shit, plus the articles are all gone.
This whole situation is IGN's fault as they could have just sat on the site instead, and I doubt they will try to make it right as said journalistic outlet is controlled by the regressive left.
Did they sell the site or the domain name to Innova Media directly, or did they simply let the domain lapse, allowing Innova Media to move in only indirectly?
If it's the latter, I'd put the blame on the domain registrar instead, who I think have a moral duty to not resell a lapsed domain in circumstances where that would cause harm to the public.
It looks like they sold the site as it initially resembled the pre sale site but with IM replacing IGN
Yeah, further investigation does suggest this was a direct sale - a whois lookup still has the same 1997 registration date, and a Google search confirms that an Innova Media is claiming to have bought that website.
