The "Freeola Customer Forum" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only.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 don't like the idea of games at all or selling them.
Thats true, then we get the occasional sad loser coming and spoiling it for everyone!

I prefer to buy things for less elsewhere, but let's not get into THAT again.

The forums get people to see the ads and offers without having to come on with the specific aim of looking at what games are out.
The forums draw people back to the site.
The forums put across a more human and less clinical approach to online ordering.
Need I go on?

So they would lose money. SR is a business, losing money is BAD. Do you see?
They wont close down the forums! Even if they did they would open back up!!
