That's from 2010. BOTH of those are from 2010.
It's 2015. I hope it's still 2015, I don't want to deal with the past 5 years all over again. -
damn you right.
I was just linking from the wiki article after reading this:
On June 10, 2015, an announcement was made known via the Xfire client with the following notification:
System Broadcast:
Dear Xfire users - It is with sadness that we must announce that the Xfire Social services will be shutdown on Friday (June 12th). Please visit social.xfire.com to download your video/screenshot data. We apologize for the short notice - Xfire Community Team
Wed Jun 10 10:00:10 2015Also on June 10, 2015, on the Xfire websites social.xfire.com, classic.xfire.com, and export.xfire.com, the following message replaced all previous content:
XFIRE
In 2003, Xfire released the Xfire Client, the first product to bring the outside world into your games. Since its humble beginnings as a simple chat client it has steadily grown to enable users to take screenshots, videos, and live broadcasts and share them on the Xfire Social Website. Attracting over 24 million users into a healthy and vibrant community, it set the standard for the socialization of PC Games.
Twelve years bring a lot of change to an industry. This is especially true in the fast paced world of gaming and the dynamics of the industry have changed significantly in this time. Since Xfire was first released, we've seen 3 console generations, the advent of mobile gaming, the transition from packaged games to digital distribution, and the rise of Free To Play games.
We've also seen esports grow from small LAN Parties into a maturing industry. Esports has the potential to grow as large as its real world counterpart, and at Xfire, we want to be a part of that. For this reason, we have decided to sunset the Xfire Client and the social site so we can focus our efforts on The Xfire Tournament Platform. This hasn’t been an easy decision. We have a lot of loyal users and we know many of you will be disappointed by the loss of the client and community. But we feel that we are well positioned to make a significant impact in bringing the exhilaration of esports from the pros to the masses, and we can’t do that effectively while also maintaining the client and social website.
We’d like to thank our loyal fans and users who have stuck with us over the years and we hope that you’ll join us on the next chapter of Xfire either as a tournament organizer, a team owner, a participant, or a spectator.
We understand that a lot of our users are attached to the screenshots and videos that were uploaded to your profiles and we want to make sure you don’t lose them. If you'd like to recover them, you can do so using the form below.
Thanks again for using Xfire, and we look forward to see you in a tournament in the near future.
Enter your username to download your screenshots and videosOn July 1, 2015, Xfire has also subsequently stopped there support to download screenshots and videos as stated in the message on the websites between June 10, 2015, till July 1, 2015.
