I was just thinking today on my way home from work, so many people go on Special Reserve everyday, and they talk in the chat forums, write a review, write a walkthrough, post cheats, post hints or by games etc.

What if one day (probably will one day), if one day Special Reeserve were out sold by a different new games network, and their profit started to fall and therefore they could no longer throw out there prizes for the best forums, reviews, cheats, hints and walk throughs? as there profit was too low to pay for these free objects?

It is unlikely to happen as Special Reserve is one of the most popualar networks in the world today, but how many people woudln't come back becasue they havn't got there chance of G.A.D anymore?

In the future another company will probably set up something like Gameaday but it will have the opportunity to win 2 games a day or some feeble attempt to remove all SR's loyal helpers.

Basically how may of you would jump boats? and i know some people would if SR went down the pan!

Who really cares if GAD went, becuase it is very generous that SR give away free Game's/DVD's everyday and if that stopped they will still get customers to buy stuff.


Anyway what i am trying to say if GAD dissapeard what would be the point in leaving when you have proof on you stat's that when GAD was here you have proof that you won.

From http://www.pennyclick.co.uk or something:

"Special Reserve is the largest computer games club in the world, and the leading independent retailer for home computing and video games in the UK."

And that's that.

I obviously wouldnt leave, like I havent for the past couple months when I havent been trying to win GAD as I dont need them anymore.
Im not planning or even thinkng about trying to win again either.

So I just come here to have a laugh with some people and see whats happening in the wonderful world of SR.

Then there's times when I feel like arguing so I pull out a fool and start moaning at them or something.

Either way its fun all day.

(That rhymed)

(I think I spelt that wrong)

(Hmmm)

Anyways...

*wonders off*

Planks.
