The "Freeola Customer Forum" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only.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.
That's what some people seem worried about at this precise moment.
Let me re-assure you, as a customer of Special Reserves, I feel extremely confident that the forums will not be closed down permanently.
As Snuggly said, Security hasn't actually been anything to worry about from SR's side for the way the accounts were stolen was not to do with hacking.
From a business point of view, many MANY non-customers become customers after joining the boards (from seeing the Gameaday competition for the reviews) and the proceed to buy products through the website.
If it wasn't for these forums (and the old GAD competitions) I probably wouldn't have been a continuous member for the 5+ years I've been registered as a paying customer.
Sure, I'd probably buy the odd item, but wouldn't have bothered with membership, nor would I have stuck to UKgames.com to buy stuff to save the price of a pint on a game.
If it does happen, I'd be very suprised. It wouldn't be beneficial to anyone, except to those who want to cause mayhem for a virtual trophy or a claim to ill-fame.

I have.
I haven't played one of them good old point and clicks since me monitor packed in on me old PC.
I'll eventually get a new cheap monitor for it - but in the mean time I'll have to make do with me 3D games.
Point & Clicks I miss:
Full Throttle
Day of the Tentacle
Sam & Max Hit the Road (funnily enough all by Lucasarts)
Star Trek The Next Generation: A Final Unity
Star Trek Deep Space 9: Harbinger
If I could get them to run on XP via some Dos emulation (suprised nothing's come up yet - or if it has, it's well hidden) I would.

I've got that in a double pack with Maniac Mansion II: day of the Tentacle (Which also features the original Maniac Mansion)

Not being funny - but who are you?
Never seen the name Sonorous on here before.
As for the days of the SR forums being numbered. They're still here now aren't they?
Fact.
They're going to disappear anytime soon?
Fiction.
Sure, nothing lasts forever, but these forums are too beneficial to Special Reserve.
