View Full Version : [Bobba] Fansite Rumours (NOT Like the Other Thread)

If you have visited http://habbovalley.com (http://habbovalley.com/) lately, you will notice the following piece of news written by the official fansite's owner, Onaedo:
Ever since Lost_Witness became hotel manager, fansites have been "locked out". I've wrote this review to explain to you what fansites are actually still active, and which ones aren't.
Note: The fansite page does say that any site that is down for more than 3 weeks, and has a lack of updates will be removed... doesn't seem that that rule applies to these fansites.
The Habbos (http://www.thehabbos.com/)
After recently being sold, and then scammed back into the hands of Ladders/Crud & Grinning, this fansite has been re-redesigned with the layout which they had before it was sold.
Bobbanet (http://www.bobbanet.co.uk/)
Bobbanet has recently (within 1 or 2 days) been updated. They have just hired new staff members, and lost all of the inactive members. This flash based website is now hoping to come back with a vengence.
Habbo Paper (http://www.habbopaper.co.uk/)
This fansite has just been updated with their newest layout, which doesn't look as if it's finished yet. Not really much to comment on.
Club Habbo (http://www.clubhabbo.net/)
Although this fansite is updated often by it's owner SkaterChu, and his team... I, and many others dislike the fact that the layout is basically ripped from Habbo Hotel.
All Habbo (http://www.allhabbo.com/)
This fansite is another that was sold (as Habbling), and then scammed back in to the hands of it's owner, IceBox12. It was last updated on the 11th July (That's 3 months ago). This fansite should not be official.
V-Habbo (http://www.v-habbo.com/)
V-Habbo has been down for well over a month, and should not be official. I quote from :.Evan.: "I'm surprised V-Habbo is actually still official" - That explains a lot.
Habbo Works (http://www.habbo-works.com/)
Habbo-Works is probably one of the very few official fansites that has truly had a lot of effort put in to it. This fansite is updated daily, and has a very unique user system.
Robsladey (http://www.robsladey.net/)
Apart from the owner being a stuck up idiot, this fansite isn't all bad. The only downsides to this fansite would be the fact that the layout is flat, and the security is poor.
Your Habbo (http://www.yourhabbo.co.uk/)
I'm not a big fan of YourHabbo, but it is a good fansite. It's regularly updated, but their layouts have never been in your face, they are very dull, but other than that it's ok.
Habbo Meadow (http://habbomeadow.com/)
Along with a few of the other fansites, this one hasn't been updated in just over a month - Which is poor, it shouldn't be official.
Habbo Down (http://habbodown.com/)
The Habbo Down team are very inconsiderate to their visitors feelings. They've been known to put people down for no apparent reason by posting very hurtful news posts. Other than that, this fansite is ok.
Hab-World (http://hab-world.com/)
This fansite is another that hasn't been updated in donkeys years. This fansite shouldn't be official.
Habbo Central (http://habbocentral.co.uk/)
I've never really connected with this site due to the lack of updates. At the moment it is closed... not sure whether this is permenant. This site should also be removed from the fansite list.
Habbo Valley (http://habbovalley.com/)
I won't comment much on Habbo Valley, as after all it is my fansite. I love it to pieces, and enjoy updating it constantly. My team are the main reason that Habbo Valley is what it is today.
Habbucks (http://habbucks.com/)
Over the past month or so Mocolate has put a lot of effort in to his coffee/habbo styled fansite. He's currently re-writing his content... so at the moment there isn't much to see.
Habbo Forum (http://www.habboforum.com/)
Habbo Forum was one of the first forums dedicated to Habbo to be released, and is still growing strong... despite many attempts to compromise its status.
Habbos (http://habbos.net/)
Habbos.ca/Habbos.net - Whichever it now is, is also a forum, which hasn't been open very long. It's name came from the formally named 'Habbos.co.uk' owned by pez which then closed. This website isn't as popular as many people make out.
Habbo Hut (http://habbohut.com/)
Habbo Hut has been open for some time, and is one of the most known international Habbo radio stations on the web, however the layout is tacky, and it's rarely online.
Habbo FM (http://habbofm.co.uk/)
This radio is the only one that I actually listen to, the layout is great, however the site could do with more updates.
Habbar (http://habbar.co.uk/)
I have to admit i do love Habbar - The little program that sites in the corner of your screen broadcasting from loads of different Habbo stations.
There we have it, the big review. Don't you think Lost_Witness needs to do something about these fansites? Many of them should be removed, as they are taking credit for the fansites who actually deserve officialness.
This is just my oppinion, but that's a little unfair for an official fansite to post that. They basically dissed every fansite. How do you guys feel about this? I just thought you might like to know, as many of you work on those fansites.

He sounds stuck up so dont know why he is complaining about other people been one.
What an idiot ... Ok so some of his points were true in some cases.
I just saw that as a blatant attempt to **** off other fansites ...
For instance
"Habbos
Habbos.ca/Habbos.net - Whichever it now is, is also a forum, which hasn't been open very long. It's name came from the formally named 'Habbos.co.uk' owned by pez which then closed. This website isn't as popular as many people make out."
How can he say its made out to be more popular than it is? I consider any forum that has an average of around 30+ members online popular!
Alot of his allegations were false and to be honest, I wouldn't be too suprised if he got his status removed for that? He's slagging off other fansites in an attempt to make his more successful ... when you read his comments about habbovalley "I enjoy updating it regularly". Last time i checked, habbovalley was a boring as usual, nothing new of any interest, and most pages not even fully updated?
He can't really talk can he ...
Anyway, my points been made, goodnight :)

I agree. Not enough to be removed, but enough to turn some heads. I personally don't have time to write something like that, nor does Sierk. I don't want to insult the guy incase he likes Habbox.
I read somewhere along the lines of fansites that they aimed to work together to improve your habbo experience in different ways?
He obviously is not a believe of that comment. He sounds fairly selfish aswell, as if he thinks every habbo should be visiting his site ...
[Sorry for posting twice pretty closely to the last, I feel strongly about this stuff LOL]

Lmao @ Him dissing ClubHabbo + The Rest.
The layout isnt riped off Habbo, and is SUPPOSED to look similar to the homepage pmsl. Taking a look at Habbovalley, that just looks similar to clubhabbo but recoloured and a few boxes changed.
Also, If his site is so great.. why was he selling it the other week?
.. Selling fansites is against the habbo way ;)
Good point ryan, Im sure habbovalley has changed hands about 3 times within the last few months?
Isn't that an offense on the fansite way list? therefore I think a removal from the official list is in order?
SkaterChu
05-10-2006, 10:58 PM
Although I agree on the comments that some sites need removing from the list because they have shut down, I still think that hes got no right to publicly comment on other peoples fansites, that have earned thier way onto the list just as much as HabboValley.
-Daniel
05-10-2006, 11:01 PM
ROFL, he can talk his fansite was for sale.
He states some don't deserve to be there etc.
Its like its just his opinion, its not like he's taken others opinions into consideration, and a little bit of asking around could of done that. Of course anyone can write a personal comment, for all we know he has a big grudge against someone ... Like in the robsladey comment "Apart from the owner being a stuck up idiot!" That's a personal comment? it shouldn't be on a news section of an official fansite if its a comment?
-Daniel
05-10-2006, 11:04 PM
he should be removed when his site was for sale

Personally, I think Fansites should be removed every 6 months and revoted back on then too. That way only the fansites that continue to gain a public interest and put in the effort only get to go on the Official Fansite lists.
I say this to support sites such as Habbox, as I have said many times (I'm such a parot xD) my site won't ever become official due to Becs therefore I am sure this idea should help benifit the other fansites who deserve to be on there. :)

What that owner said is contradicted on so many levels. His personal judgement is getting in the way of things (hence the Robsladey comment).
Take HabboDown for example ~ It hasn't been updated with Habbo content in a month. While it was great in its era, I think the owners have moved on...
Also LOL@his comment on my site.

I agree with the people who said it's a publicity stunt to get a few more visitors. He was breaking the fansite way not long ago, so he is a rich one to talk.
OH AND ALSO! HE IS ONE TO TALK AGAIN. MOST OF HIS STUFF IS STOLEN FROM HABBOREMIX.NET - LIKE THE CATALOGUE IDEA >:(

This seem's to be an opinion more than a rumour doesnt it :s anyways i ain't bothed if they remove the lot, only fansites i use are Habbox of corse and Habbos.net. 1 - Becasue thier always updated, 2 - Very popular sites and 3 - They don't keep flooding my room telling me to visit. Habbo should remove most of them fansites and add a few more. rant over :)

Lol yea I agree, no wonder Ed2k is a member of his ever so pleasant staff team. What a pathetic attempt to slate fansites when really he's covering his own up when no doubt its one of the most unpopularist.
As he didn't include his very own review on his own site, I think I'll have the honours, The owner thinks so much of himself and HabboValley is nowhere so it coudln't be "where it is today" its been passed from owner to owner so how the hell can he comment on how fansites sell sites. Most of his ideas like Andy said are ripped, Just like the Catalogue system and the help tool and the console - and the credits system. Other than that, His site is just like any other, Nothing unique about it.
I personally recomend him before slating other peoples sites who have put hard work into them, and commenting on popular sites over his site which have been round for ages. Look at Habbos.net - Like Andy said, It's not been around that long and he constantly has users online.. Yet his site has been around for quite some time and the most he can get is one thousand of how many members, Which no doubt 200 of them are noobs cloning accounts for the credits scheme and staff the rest. I hardly think there will be any active members on the site but staff. Maybe he needs to start thinking of his own ideas and writing his own content rather than copying guides which are copied from Habbo Hotel FAQ's too!
In future, He needs to take a look at his own site like I said before slating other peoples hard work.
On a final note on this review of the crap HabboValley, The owner is also up himself. :D

What he did is simply uncalled for and nasty. Let me talk about some fansites, who do not deserve to be trashed.
I hate how he dissed most of the good fansites including ClubHabbo and Habbos, and the rest. It's not very fair, considering his fansite is not the greatest (and clearly he knows so judging by him writing that news article!)
ClubHabbo did not "copy" Habbo's homepage. Most fansites these days borrow ideas from the homepage, so it is more Habbo-related. And, Habbo's site is really cool, so why not celebrate it and borrow some ideas? You can never come up with an original design, and let's just leave it at that. You'll always have inspiration from an outside source. I do not believe ClubHabbo copied it at all, and their site is so much better than HabboValley, and clearly Onaedo knows it.
"I, and many others dislike the fact that the layout is basically ripped from Habbo Hotel."
Claiming others agree with you is...unbelievable. The majority of the "others" I bet, are your clones.
The Habbo Down team are very inconsiderate to their visitors feelings. They've been known to put people down for no apparent reason by posting very hurtful news posts. Other than that, this fansite is ok.
How is the news HabboValley posted, not hurtful? Many fansites are upset about this issue, and it should definitely be taken care of.
Also, about Habbos.net, being less popular than it is made out to be... What other fansite is official on three Hotels? What other fansite has users from UK, CA, USA and SG posting on their forums? That's all.
In conclusion, acts like this are totally inappropriate. What gives someone the right to bash other Habbos and fansites, for no apparent reason? What gives someone the right to personally attack someone they do not really know?
This is simply... uncalled for, and a very dumb move on the fansite's move if I say so. Official status should be taken from this fansite, for sure, and ASAP as well.
From the Fansite Way
Fansites should not publish any material which may be offensive to other users.HabboValley has been very offensive to many. This is not a great way to run a fansite!
Also, I'm very sorry to any fansite owners who have been hurt by this. This guy obviously is not that great at being kind, so just don't take it to heart. All of the fansites (except for the one's closed or not updated), deserve to be on the list because they have done well.

I don't know about all this "scamming" stuff, but I like TheHabbos the way it is now. If fansites sell to each other, they should lose officiality. But, if they just get a new domain and keep their staff and content, they shouldn't.
I too have reported this.
Pyroka
06-10-2006, 02:54 PM
Ok heres my input on all of this. Some of the comments, i agree with from the News reporter who made this "Official Fansite" article... But some i do not.
I wont list ALL the ones i disagree with, but most fansites DO put effort into their sites, and sometimes they cant update it every 24 hours unlike other sites, who have all the time in the world to. Its a matter of how much time you have really, and some people are working people, others are people who like to have a life but always have time to update their beloved site.
I think this is kinda rich coming from a Habbovalley reporter, the amount of owners that site has had is UNBELIEVEEEABLE! The amout of times its been sold off to others, is ridiculous. Hab-world is also a bad site, since its never been much after Nick and Jon left for Speedhosting, but everyone makes their decisions even though it was a bad one for Hab-World.
Some sites have just had better days...

Also, he's removed the article from his site. Good thing we have already reported it, and that it's still on this thread.

06-10-2006, 03:17 PM
I agree :) lols.
Except I already emailed someone else.
Basically a a little phrase comes to mind: if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all. ;)
He can have an opinion, like every one can, but make them in the slightest bit constructive and don't degrade people while making them.
While some fansites may not be too popular, or greatly designed, each one that's active and online still contribute to the Habbo experience and their own small communities.

HabboValley.com has only ever had 2 owners. Whom both founded it, 1 left as he went to Uni, and the other stayed on.
So in all honesty, your quote is "UNBELIEVEEEABLE!"

Besides, does Habbox really want to be official? You can get away with more stuff, and your viewers are viewers who freely come to the site, rather than advertised on Habbo itself :P

Yup whether |habbox is official or not it will always remain popular. The only reason people would want an official fansite is so that they get the influx if hit and popularity, if your fansite already has that, whats the need of being official? :P

To get more popular.
Well at one time the habbo fansites actually got exclusive press confrences, special news, advertised events with the help of habbo etc... But this isn't happening atm, yet there is supposed to be a new fansite month coming up when new fansites are added and there shall be the usual month of events.

I wouldn't want Habbox to become Offical because Becs is right up your Back end if your Offical although only good thing that would come out of it would be HabboxLive getting Tune In Messages from MODS so then HabboxLive would cripple ThinkHabbo's Radio :)
After going through some of the newer websites I think the overall standard of the website designs are improving and are very good. The only problem with some of the smaller ones is that the a couple people keep the site running but once they get bored the site closes. Fortunately habbox and other long lasting websites (Habbo Paper and HabboHut) manage to keep going, and its good to see some fansites that started as far back as 2002.

Only noticed this...
Well i'm not going to bother argueing as I remember he removed me from his friends list because I wouldn't "code" his layout, so he went down a few notches in my book. After reading what you wrote about me, all I can is laugh LOL!
Know-one knows the truth about Habbling to AllHabbo except me and James (who may I add still works there in the background), so please shut up with your "scammed back" comments, when you have got your little FOMO layout so far up your backside .... its actually got to the point where I feel sorry for you.
Fairplay a few of us Official Fansite Owners have not been THAT active, and we all have reasons. However, if we are removed... we are removed due to the reasons Habbo set forth. If you don't like a fansite don't visit it?!
No more to be said, as I pity his stupidity :]
