- I seriously think habbo should be closed down! -

[Pulchritudinous]

Reasons for it being closed down...

-Children become tired, I heard about some people staying up 'till midnight to see a roller!

-Children become overweight due to being on the PC for long periods of time.

-Children waste their money on credits.

-Some become so addicted they are heartbroken when scammed/hacked/scripted.

-Children stop concentrating at school, they miss out on homework to use habbo. (I have hard about this happening).

Reasons against it being closed down...

-People who have few friends can socialise via habbo hotel.

-For depressed children they can find it comforting, and get advice from internet pals.

-It is fun?

[Barwy]

I half agree with your post.

People do get addicted. I know i was a while ago - its not nice :)

I think it should be kept open because after all, Its just a game...

[Dudeitsme]

Its just a game why close it down people spent to much money on the game to close it down so many people would sue

[Capri-Sun]

i agree i used to always go out and play footie now im a wee bit over weight i need to get my life back on track on the 31 of october im quiting habbo for good :eusa_pray :@ :@


:@ Ruin my life i will stop playing:@

[CursedHeart]

yeah but people stay up til midnight for the realease of harry potter or to watch scary films

habbo hotel isnt the cause of these things. Habbo Hotels just a business. Its just a chat room like any other, some people will choose to spend their lives on it, and others wont

[LesbianGhost]

You can't sue them, read the terms and conditions. I half agree with what you've said, the asking children to stay up untill midnight was pathetic, I wouldn't be suprised if parents complain. Not that they'll pay any attention to it.

[Dopiefreak]

If people have problems with getting addicted to a online games its not habbos problem its a health problem. Im on this game a hell of a lot but im not fat, addicted, heartbroken when ive lost furni (ive lost 300t now) and i have a lot of things going for me in rl like girlfriends and the rpospect of turning pro golfer next year

[Actar]

lol i play habbo and im 1-2 stone underweight what i should be :o.
Definetly ruins my sleep bahaha. Honestly i never think about habbo when im at school, nothing really TO think about. I jus go on there wander round, play some wobble squable maybe trade but thats it. I dont ever spend money on creds, i trade for creds :D

[Dan2nd]

If habbo shut down would they have to refund everyones money ???

or is there something in the small print of the terms and conditions

[cinnamoncrust]

They wouldn't close it down. Alot of people have already spent money on it. Habbo would be sued.

i agree.
And was it last night when the staff was like "stay up till midnight to see a surprise" now kmon its a skwl night fgs lol, its not good to be going to bed after 12 oclock. they shouldn incouriage this at all:@

[Pulchritudinous]

I know habbo hotel isn't the main cause of this, but it's very popular, and most of the users go on there an awful lot, it's not healthy, I highly doubt habbo would close themselves down anyway.
Maybe someone who had the power to do so would for the benefit of childrens health.

Again, read the terms and conditions. The only refund anyone would get is if you had credits in your purse.

[Dopiefreak]

The terms and conditions are old now. And people have actually had furni refunded which they say they wont do.

[LesbianGhost]

The terms and conditions are old now. And people have actually had furni refunded which they say they wont do.

That was only because of the HK hackings. It wasn't the players fault, meaning they where entitled to a refund. Also, do you honestly think they would not keep the terms and conditions up to date?

[Dopiefreak]

It wasnt the players fault ? And it would be the players fault if they shut. To be honest i dont think theyde keep the terms and conditions up to date

[LesbianGhost]

It wasnt the players fault ? And it would be the players fault if they shut. To be honest i dont think theyde keep the terms and conditions up to date

How can they help it if someones gone into HK and got their account details? - They can't. If Habbo ever closed it's totally different, as I've said read the terms and conditions.

[Dopiefreak]

Lmao you dont think they could of prevented the hk hackings ? Complete bs

[LesbianGhost]

Habbo could have, not players? Stop trying to act high and mighty - it's failing.

Seriously, it is their problem if they become addicted you don't need to be addicted you can easily become un-addicted. If people says "omg, I'm addicted to Habbo" it's their fault for staying on it for too long, and btw, if they stay up 'til midnight it's their problem they wanted to see it, I mean it's not a bad thing be addicted either and it's certainly not a problem staying up 'til midnight either, if you didn't then it's not your fault it's just that um, yeahh. I think it's 'cause they wanted to buy it. (Sorry if this made no sense but I was typing it quickly)

[Steven]

If it said jump of a bridge would you do it?
It's the same thing just a bit more drastic, so yeah if they say something will be released at 12 then you can stay up or not stay up, it's YOUR choice.
Only because habbo says do this, doesn't mean you do it.

[Re-Call]

Well all i can say is it's not habbo's fault.

Users are responcable for there actions and if they havn't got any will power to get off the computer and explore the outside world then thats THEIR fault

It's down to yourselfs to rip yourself off.

Sure! habbo's addictive but everyone has will power in them. They just need to use it and stick to it, If they fail well there will power isn't strong

Reasons for it being closed down...

-Children become tired, I heard about some people staying up 'till midnight to see a roller! - User's didn't HAVE to stay up there for: OWN ACTIONS, Not habbo's

-Children become overweight due to being on the PC for long periods of time. - Well OWN ACTIONS there again

-Children waste their money on credits. - OWN ACTIONS, They don't have to buy credits. OWN ACTIONS, It's not VITAL like other virtual hangouts.

-Some become so addicted they are heartbroken when scammed/hacked/scripted. - OWN ACTIONS, YOU! are responceable for you're own furni & account

-Children stop concentrating at school, they miss out on homework to use habbo. (I have hard about this happening). - OWN ACTIONS, If they start using their will power they wouldn't be in that state.

Habbo used to be my number 1 priority it really did. Over college work, playing sport and everything else. It used to be more than a game which was just stupid. I took a break a while ago and although i still play a fair bit i treat it as a game now and i only play it when i have nothing beter to do. People MUST remember it is just a GAME and it should be your last priority over things that happen in real life. Basically unless you have nothing better to do THEN go on it with your spare hours but DO NOT go on it when you should be doing other things e.g. getting a good sleep, playing sport, doing homework or whatever. Thank you and good night ;']

I'm not dumb, I know it's your choice, but what's to stop them from going on habbo, most people who have had an addiction might admit they didn't realise they were spending too much time on it at the time, I didn't.
You could say it is habbo hotels fault for creating it. :D

I'm joking, but anyway if you think about it habbo hotel don't give a flying pig about their users addictions to the site, they don't make any effort to advise people to spend a limited time on it, they don't stop users from spending 12 hours or more each day on it, they just want the money and popularity at the end of the day.

[-sFusion-]

Yea, it is their choice after all. So no it shouldnt get closed down because some people have issues. Its not the hotel's fault. And its perfectly understandable why they dont stop people from spending all their time on it and buying alot of creds. They obviously want the money and they thrive on people who cant control themselves, so why say "No, control yourself." They lose money. They lose people. They lose period.

Bottom line- They're not gonna stop you from it and they're not gonna close down because they are "too successful," so either you stop yourself, or waste away.

How people try to control and become rich in this game is pretty stupid too.

Well I Agree With You Because Firstly It Is Kinda Bad For You And Second I Think the Hotel Should Be Closed Like atleast from 10pm etc. its a bit stupid keeping it open all day 24/7 because People would bassicly just play till they blind themselfs

[Exorcize]

i agree with all of ur statements but i still think habbo is good:p

[Rachi]

You think it shud be closed down.
Stick 2 that thought and you might get a lolly pop for trying

Don't try and act remotely intelligent or funny 'Miny', it doesn't suit you.

[Roboevil]

Rrrright, and it's Habbos' fault and responsibility if children get addicted or become overweight? Apparently in the terms and conditions of World of Warcraft, it says you can't sue the company if you become too addicted and bad things happen ;S.

It shoulden't REALLY be closed down down-

All the kids have to just limit their time on computer. Habbo maybe is raising money. And people have fun with it, Its true that they become so heartbroken and stuff, Well I think habbo should be like cokemusic.

Like they have a time it opens. So they can limit their time.

And their parents would be upset that their wasting money, So why can't habbo make up games like each time you win, you get 2 Credits/3 xl

And when we get scammed, Like we can just be - careful. Theres alot of non-trusting people in the hotels, So try not to give out your furni.

That is all..

[GoldenBiscuit]

I got addicted, but then feel out of it quite soon after. Somedays I don't even go on now, not much to offer me I suppose.
