The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
There's only one way for an account to be deleted. And that's if Tony or webmaster deletes it.
Well I've just had to re-register as my username and password were not registered on here already!
I entered all the details the same (Including username) and it let me register without saying that someone is already using that username!
Unless Tony's got a good reason why my account was deleted, then Special Reserve, or atleast UKdiscussions has been hacked and is NOT SAFE!
Tony please reply, and check my details if you don't believe me! They are all the same!
NOTE - this was due to an error, not a hack.

FIRSTLY: WE HAVE NOT BEEN HACKED.
We take security very seriously and all of our servers are well protected. In this case Edgy's registration was inadvertently made inactive by an overnight script which cleans up our registration database. The registration still existed but was not usable which is why the system allowed a new one to be created.
I have modified all of your posts on the new registration to be back on the old one and I have corrected the error in the overnight script which caused this problem.
Edgy, I would also urge you to be more careful in wording your threads/posts in future. Stating that Special Reserve has been hacked could be very harmful to our reputation ESPECIALLY when this is not the truth. If you really do believe there to be a problem then you should contact me directly ([email protected]) or post your message under a less harmful heading.
