How long do you reckon Habboxforum will last?

[ToxicPaddy]

How many years do you think this forum will last? Interesting to see what people think :)

[scott]

Dunno another few years anyway :)

[Middlesbrough]

Not long, nobody will pay for a website with no income.

[PaintYourTarget]

Believe me, HABBOXFORUM would not be worth anything if it were to be confined to THE INTERNET and did not secure the rule of the superior race over HABBO for at least one or two thousand years.

[scott]

Think thats a bit many xo

[Blinger1]

I reckon it'll last about 3 years. Well, as long as the (new) management (that will come in) doesn't **** up to much you'll be right :)

[PaulMacC]

Until habbo ends, maybe a bit longer than that maybe?

[dirrty]

until sierk goes poor

[camera]

until something mjor happens. or till most people GET A LIFE

[5,5]

maybe like 1 more year. idk just a guess

[Yonder]

Imo it wont be long before it turns into a general teen forum (few years) and goes on its own adventure that way it will last many years.

[Heart Break Kid]

dunno if any one has said this as i just clicked quick reply
but not for long
as the main money that they were getting to run it was thru VIP
now they can only rely on donations thru kind people

[Coheed&Cambria]

maybe like 1 more year. idk just a guess

Agreed

[Xarea]

until something mjor happens. or till most people GET A LIFE

That's a bit of a contradiction? :P

Hopefully for a long time to come :).

[Infrontation]

Not long, nobody will pay for a website with no income.

I've been on this website for over 4 1/2 years, VIP brings some income and adverts some more. They even had enough money to dispense small sums in return for the administration and moderation of the forum at some points. I think they'll be fine financially for another few years.

[Twist]

I reckon it'll close in a year or so but all of the forums non-habbo related be taken to a different website so we can keep it alive on there.

[buttons]

meh i wouldn't mind if it turned into just a general teen forum
i dunno, probably 2 year

[today]

rather it did tbh.

vip backkk!

[J0SH]

until something mjor happens. or till most people GET A LIFE

I don't understand the last comment, if most people didn't have a life they'd be dead.

[--ss--]

Without VIP funding I doubt Sierk will actually be bothered to spend hundreds a month of his own money to run it as he barely even goes on Habbo. I say maybe a year or two, but if Sulake hadn't screwed up VIP I would of said HabboxForum would be timeless.

[Immenseman]

if it turned into just a teen forum it'd fail like all forums without a direction do, a vast majority of us found this forum via habbo and habbo is their audience. If it was unrelated to Habbo not as many people would sign up and it'd die pretty soon, a lot of people only use it for the habbo/trading forums.

[jackass]

Hopefully a few more years at least. :)

But with little to no revenue coming in now due to VIP being removed, it's going to be a struggle.

[Immenseman]

we need damiens dad

[jackass]

we need damiens dad

We sure do!

[Immenseman]

he could fund it comfortably for years to come

[--ss--]

we need damiens dad
To do what, turn us all into crooks?

[Immenseman]

shane, you're already a crook bbz

[Mikey]

;o erm 5 years

[efq]

When a 12 year old hacker destroys the military systems and kills the worlds internet for ever.

[Immenseman]

i suppose it depends how long sierk wants to keep it open

[Kardan]

Without VIP, only a year or two - unless somebody else wishes to pay the massive costs of running the forum...

I can see it turning into a general teen forum before it dies though.

[Callum.]

some sections look like they are dying, like runescape and console gaming recently. but others are quite popular, being sports & hobbies and spam etc

[--ss--]

shane, you're already a crook bbz
Your profile bbz xox

[GommeInc]

Quite a long time really. The name may not, but I doubt the forum itself will up and die. Once Habbox have decided Habbo don't deserve them, then the Habbo part of the site will die and a new named forum will take it's place *wishful thinking*

If money does run out, I doubt they will close everything. I can see them dropping the Habbo fansite status and opting for a teen social status. Technically, they could do that with a new name and still allow members to go onto Habbo, because they have no foot hold if there are no images or text from Habbo on the forums. It's like iSketch telling HabboxForum to close down because someone mentioned the word "iSketch" somewhere :P

[Andeeh]

Give it 2 or 3 years

[RyanDOT]

Under 5 years i think..

[alexxxxx]

sorry, ive been away! why has VIP been stopped?

[--ss--]

sorry, ive been away! why has VIP been stopped?
Cause Habbo don't like competition.

[alexxxxx]

what the hell that sucks...

is this because habbox is now official or whatever. I haven't played habbo in years so i don't know what's going on.

All I remember the days when habbox didn't want to be official or whatever. And when Impetious (?) was around having a bit of a fight and krewz tk and buddy tk and all that stuff.

Oh i miss the old habbo.

[J0SH]

Should last another few years, looks like that £400 raised we still haven't chosen a charity so it has probably gone to the Habbox Fees Charity.

[Arch]

Id say 2-6 more years

[leah]

FOREVERRRRR.

[jackass]

FOREVERRRRR.

You're optimistic. :P

[brandon]

Until I leave then there will be a mass exodus

[Clowgon]

Until I leave then there will be a mass exodus

Pfft. Keep on dreaming! :P

I think if i ever left. This forum would be like a old folks home. - Old and boring.

I post interesting Threads and that little "Important" flair. ;)

After what I did for you yesterday :'(

[RedStratocas]

itll definitely go before habbo. cause if habbo becomes unpopular, surely a fan site of habbo wont last if no one is using habbo, haha.

[LouisCollins]

To be honest, I Don't think it will ever disapear As such, If you think about it the ammount of people who use this forum?, If Habbox was to close im sure someone would just turn this into a "Normal Fourm" non habbo like,

[partie2]

probs aslong as habbo is popular..

[ToxicPaddy]

I'd say about a year, two at most.

[Jahova]

Until Habbo ends hopefully. Or.. THE END OF THE WORLD. JK

[Rozi]

it might just fizzle out.

[MissAlice]

Until sierk has had enough, and if he decides to sell, then who knows!

[alexxxxx]

I think HxF is in a BIG mess atm.

I can't imagine that the forum can survive on those ads.

[Immenseman]

hxf isnt a mess the forum itself is ran well

[Geraint]

I'll keep it going forever. Don't worry people. I will help you.

[alexxxxx]

its not in a mess i mean like, income wise they could be screwed soon

and sierk will be like, "k im 40 and this is costing me loads, kthxbi'

[Immenseman]

oh right i get ya

[GommeInc]

its not in a mess i mean like, income wise they could be screwed soon

and sierk will be like, "k im 40 and this is costing me loads, kthxbi'
The best course of action if that happens anytime soon would be to shun away from Habbo and possibly minimize any mention of Habbo. Of course discussions could still carry on, but anything like alterations and trades may have to be scrapped, which won't do the forum any favours unless they somehow shrink the useage of these forums so it's barely recognisable as a Habbo fansite forum.

[OMGitsHYPE]

I think Sierk will run it for a few more years then probably close. I don't think he'd sell tbh, unless he has a close thread who he knows and trusts who he can pass it onto.

How old is Sierk anyway?

[alexxxxx]

eh i can't imagine hxf surviving for TOO long without the habbo section.

we have all been on here for years i've nearly been here for 4, you've been here for 4, there are plenty of people who have been here for 3+years,

it's just that without people becoming attracted to the forum, people don't stay on.

When you come on to habbox to start you start on the habbo section and slowly move down... and down...

on another note, i can't remember the password or email to my account 'Saiteko' that i made years ago... >_<

suckss.

[Clowgon]

i suppose it depends how long sierk wants to keep it open


He is going to sell it to me. For £100!


How old is Sierk anyway?[/quote]

89.

Maybe he could go on Dragons Den and sell it to "James Caan" What a name. :P

He could eaisily get about £1000-2000 i don't think it's worth anymore that that.

I would buy. He would have to wait a few years though.

I hope your listening Sierk!

[CJW93]

2-3 More years

[clarissa !!]

sorry, im a bit thick but why isnt there vip anymore?
