Future Publishing closes popular games forum

Future Publishing has announced plans to close one of the most popular gaming forums in the UK.

GamesRadar, Future's predominant videogames website, will be closing its UK forum on September 4th to shift focus to the publisher's US equivalent, RadarNation. The forum, which has been active since 2002, is home to almost 20,000 registered members, many of whom encourage "lively, outspoken, funny, controversial and downright notorious game discussion" a Future representative stated.

It's a great UK forum that has built up a strong community and it's a shame it will be closed by the globalisation of Future.

Gamesradar UK, you will be missed.

EDIT: from its ashes a new forum has been made that a lot of users have already migrated to. http://www.grcade.com/

killzone 2 probably will get a 6/10

there's always some flops-haze and probably too human come to mind for right now-but killzone 2...an expensive flop

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
