Anything that has the name AOL in isn't worth reading, therefore as soon as I saw AOL in bold, I closed the thread! :)

I near crapped myself when it started to meantion "Cryptoo"
I was like :O What did I do??, What are they expecting me to do??

LOL


In regards to where we will be expanding. As you heard yesterday, Habbox World closed (http://www.habboxforum.com/showthread.php?t=472027) due to slow progress and development but also because AOL plans to create a real HABBOX WORLD 3D virtual environment with the help of Cryptoo, who has a fantastic background in development communities for teenagers and young adults in previous projects at AOL. Cryptoo previously managed an AOL project called KidUs who was aimed at young adults who enjoyed to chat and game. This project is in good hands, trust us. I hope you will continue to support Habbox in the months and years to come.

Not too long. I had an idea of what I was going to write and what will make it seem real.

If I put microsoft or facebook or google are going to aquire us, its too obvious. With AOL its slightly different ;). Had to settle with something more subtle :P.

I am glad people enjoyed it though, didn't expect to fool that many to be honest :).

As soon as I logged on and saw you had to click a link before you could view the forums, I knew it was something and I didn't want to click it incase it was something else. And, then I read it and I didn't know whether to believe it or not because I didn't see the spolier until after I read it. :P

When it said my name, Nick., I thought it was a different Nick. because it's easy enough to see. My username is quite common, and so it was easier to see it obviously wasn't me. I thought it would be good for Habbox though, shame it isn't true.
