View Full Version : Why not an arcade?
Why doesn't Habbox get some arcade games installed? If you wanted you could make it exclusive to VIPs only that way it's another privilege for VIPs and it encourages people to buy VIP.
You could have champions of the arcade and challenges set things like that. It would make Habbox are funnier place and would most probably get more visitors paying for VIP so they can play in the arcade.

I would want one too, but it could cause the old:
"The server is busy - please wait"
god that was annoying, but I am all for this suggestion!
count me in!

Its a plugin so leaves all kinda holes over the place.

Habbox could easily upgrade to a new server, lets face it there not strapped for cash on here.

Well, why do habboxforum.us have an arcade then if there are 'security issues'

Because that is a smaller forum compared to this. This is habbox's heart.

Yeah exactly and loads more sites like HabboPositive have got one and they seem to do fine and we also have some of the brainiest forum techies around so wth? ;s

Habbo-postitve may have less users but atleast they have a community feel to there forum and part of the reason is the arcade.

Yes, lets make it only to V.I.P's
It doesnt cost anything to put an arcade on here.
It only costs £91.00 to run a forum.
How much does Sierk get a month from v.i.p £150.00+

Keeping the site running is about 30 pound so we have about £20 a month left.

The server costs around £60 a month I think.

I think HabboxForum.com isnt getting a arcade as it slows down the forum and every hack creates exploits, thats why sierk doesnt want any hacks installed! Also, thats why they have GameBox Forum (http://www.gameboxforum.com/arcade.php?)
Habbox's Arcade ;)

It would be better if they added it to Habboxs tool bar so everybody could see that Habbox owns it and they could get more players.

See that? It's at the bottom of every forum page. ;)
It's a decent idea, but the amount of users that would use it, it would overwork a majority of servers around.
Plus for safety precaustions, HabboxForum doesn't install "Hacks" onto this forum, so they use less used and less targetted forums suchas GbF and HxFUSA for the more "Daring" situations. ;)

Good idea :]
There'd be more to do.

Yeh I know that now but that little icon right at the bottom of the forum isn't going to be seen by many is it? I'm saying add a hyperlinked bar at the top so it takes you to that forum where you can play games. :)

Agreed, but it is advertised on the forum -.-
Maybe it could have a link added in the Forum games section ?

Said it once about plugin and extentions and ill say it again:
Hi
Yes, Extensions and Plugins can cause security risks. It depends on how they're coded.

Not all Extentions & Plugins can cause risks, I know for a fact that v3Arcade is coded by one of the best at vBulletin.org and another who is a forum moderator and also a master coder.
As for the idea the forum gets enough hits with any additions. Adding something like the arcade is likely to draw peoples attention away from posting. There are many forum's out there with an Arcade with loads of games and features :) (Like mine, See Signature).

How does it only cost 91.00 to run a forum? That is to buy the forum software.
It costs alot more than that to run this forum, we have to have its own dedicated server for it with extra ram and then there is also Habbox and all Habbox other sites to run.
So putting an Arcade on it would lag the forum dramatically.

I agree, but not with the VIP part. I'm not allowed to buy VIP as I dont have a paypal account, nor I can't get 1. So how about for all members?

Yeh but Habbox gets around 160 viewers and Habbo-pos only gets around 30.
I just think they should make that gaming forum more clear and update it with 100+ games so everyone can get some good scores and championships etc.
