'the unfair monopoly..'

[Competitive]

'An unfair monopoly..' as someones signature described it.
Habbo has taken action against fansites selling VIP subscriptions,
VIP subscriptions are what fund fansites, and dramatically help the increase of a site.
Forum's, radio's and hosting isn't cheap.
Now, at 6pm tonight, there's rumours of a protest, at the big H, #1.
I'm going, what about you?
Lets fight for our fansites!

... Have you been asleep for the past week?

[Competitive]

Nope, quite awake.
And no-ones done anything about it.

[Jam]

Because no-one can do anything about it. You can protest all you want but Sulake couldn't give a hoot.

[Pyroka]

As I said, HAVE YOU BEEN ASLEEP FOR THE PAST WEEK?

Alot's been done about it, alot more than a ****** pixel protest. You do know staff won't even notice, because it's past office opening hours and they'll all be going home now? Even at 6PM, I doubt the first thing on the to-do list is to check for riots and protests.

Le fail, ensues.

This is quite a obvious Monopoly really, Sulake has all the hotels :(

[irJen]

Sulake ought to blog a statement tbh, I believe it's a little deeper than just protecting profits.

Yep, protecting profits and making all the fansites suffer just for their entertainment. :eusa_clap

[Okeanos]

you're using habbo content on a habbo themed forum, so im amazed Sulake let you charge for premium services for so long

protecting profits? no im sure it has a lot more to do with protecting brand name and image, which is perfectly understandable

if VIP is that important to you, give it away for free!

Just so you could afford it :rolleyes:

[luce]

No staff would see the thing anyway lol they're all at home ;)
I can't see VIP going anywhere tbh though

[Okeanos]

Just so you could afford it :rolleyes:

is this all you can bring to this discussion? go read a book

if i wanted VIP, i would pay for it

[Decode]

Okeanos, the fact is many fansites won't be able to run anymore because of how much hosting costs and vip generated most of there money.

Correct +rep :)

so?...

if a fansite owner cant come up with the funds to run their site, they shouldn't have one

well mind your own bloody business then :l

[Okeanos]

well mind your own bloody business then :l

again, you dont seem to be able to post a coherent sentence let alone anything of any interest

just because i dont have VIP, doesn't mean i cant give an opinion on the topic in hand

[PriceTags]

well mind your own bloody business then :l

As much as I'm not best keen on Okeanos myself, from a Habbox staff, that attitude is appalling and uncalled for. Maybe you should 'go read a book' - or at least the Habbox staff rules...

[AgnesIO]

I think most will agree, you are being ridiculous.

The fact is habbox would die without vip, yet your using it?

'Can't you leave your precious habbox'?

[AMERlCA...]

If this arugment and insults carry on, the thread will be Closed.

using a forum doesn't demand undying loyalty, surely? yes i use habbox but im not bothered if it shuts. is that a banable offence?

[AgnesIO]

Technically the thread shopuld be closec, and you should post a link to the thread where thia has already been posted ;)

EDIT: Sorry thought i was in another thread LOL

P.S. Close it anyway, as i dont want to fight.

Stop posting on the forum, you are wasting database space.

I don't dispute that but like I said earlier, and Okeanos clairified other reasons, I don't think Sulake are doing it as an "unfair monopoly".

I personally think they're just taking the easiest route out of there diminishing rep with parents.
