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 went out for Chinese, man, calm down. I'll insult you after, I'm full of Chicken Chow Mein right now.
Ok, enough 'bluff calling' for now. ;)
I want my infantile mocking!!! :D
Stryke's LOTR IQ is ultra high.
'I have no real problem with anyone on this site except you, because you seem to be deluded into thinking you have an IQ of over 50.'
Where's the infantile mocking?
Where's my thread dammit?! :D
I should hope not.
Stryke: bring on the thread. :D

Drop the arguments. It's like reading a transcript of a fight between me and my brother.
You're not....brothers...are you?
