The "Freeola Customer Forum" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only.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.

If they close the forums they'll lose a lot of loyal customers.

I said a long while back that the forums may be closing down and what has happened, yes the initial scare. I can't believe nobody has listened to me and listen to this the days of the SR forums are indeed numbered. FACT.

Your the one who wants a Sceptre in both ends not me...
Ah, you want me to be King of your queen-world. The answer's still no.
Leave it up your ass, where it belongs, Stryke. :D
Just because you want some tongue as well.
Strikes full of food let's leave him be. :D
Just because you want some action. But I told you, I don't swing that way. Well, not right now.
Stryke, are you still being aggressive?
