Hobba's Possibly Returning?

[!EOD!]

According to another website that Habbox once linked to (Puhekupla), the Hobba's might be returning but there is no confirmation...Here is a link to the original article:

http://puhekupla.com/News/Read/137 (http://puhekupla.com/News/Read/137)

What do you think about this issue?

Note to the moderators: I am not sure if this is true or not but if the link is unacceptable, then please remove it - I am truly sorry. Thanks

Closed by Laurensh1 (Forum Moderator): as this topic and source proves nothing because the information is in the old externals.

It are the old externals. The flash ones are the ones used now, it's just some outdated stuff in those externals.

Their not coming back.
Or at least, this is not proof for it if you want to keep the option open.

[Xoim]

Was Just about to post this

Would be great if they did return...
But like they were available for habbos and not people who actually work for sulake... "D

[Kardan]

They could be.

I doubt it though, they were scrapped for security reasons. If they've found a way to combat that, then sure, I couldn't see why they wouldn't come back?

[Immenseman]

Interesting, I don't really understand the link. Have these badges just been added or have they been there since there were Hobbas originally? Anyway, I'd personally be very surprised to see Hobbas reinstated. They were discontinued for reasons that are more than valid, well at least the reason Habbo gave as the official reason was valid.

It would cause too many issues and probably isn't worth the hassle, much like it wasn't during the end of their stint last time. I wouldn't have an issue with them returning, I think it'd be beneficial, I'd be surprised, that's all.

[Skajo]

No they are not.

I think, from what I've read, the bit where you hover over the badges, that has been done for the Hobba badges.

So if I hovered over my X badge it would say 'A medal for Xs between 2006-2008' or something similiar. That has been done for those badges.

I could be wrong, but that's what I understood from the article.

[Immenseman]

So someone has specifically added a description of the Hobba badges and it happened recently?

[!EOD!]

Well anything is possible...But I would personally like to see how they have improved the Hobba system (if applicable that is)... :P

[Chippiewill]

The hobbas were removed because they finally had a large team of moderators and auto screening software for scams.

[Frisky]

I hope they do come back. They we're the reason the hotel was in good shape.

Now-a-days, I see my cousins playing and they have to put up with all sorts of people. Infact, I think Habbo(s) taught them certain racist words.

[e5]

Oldie habbos, who were sensible and trustworthy though.

Great if they came back, but would need to be the old Hobbas lol, as I know some of them still play :) Habbo may try contact them all again lol :P

[TonyPulis]

I'm nearly old enough to apply :D I've been dreaming of this day ever since I was 12.

That seriously is worrying.

[TonyPulis]

3months and 7days till I'm 18. I hope this is true. :eusa_danc then I can have my own Hobba Helpers :eusa_danc

[04Jack04]

I'd love it if they did, it would proove all the idiots wrong that keep saying 'Hobbas won't ever come back'. No-one can predict the future.

Cool if they do!

[JACKTARD]

everythings fine staying as it is

[e5]

3months and 7days till I'm 18. I hope this is true. :eusa_danc then I can have my own Hobba Helpers :eusa_danc
Are you actually being serious? :S You're almost 18 fgs.

If they did, they wouldn't make people apply. There's no way i'm having SkaterChu behind the ban button.

Weren't you the one who got bullied for being an addict?

[culturist]

i don't think they will be coming back due to the fact that habbo said they won't be returning because of a change in the internet laws or something like that..?

not sure lol but i doubt very much that they will be returning :(!

You couldn't be more wrong.

[Byron]

Would be good i suppose, thanks for this post ;]

[Pyroka]

I'd apply if they were serious, I've got the qualifications for it I guess, experience and all that. Brag brag etc.

I have to admit I lol'd.

Qualifications to play a game.

I dont think dead-enders who have no certificates to show their achievements will have much chance in getting a job like being a Hobba. Once you're in that sorta company, it's easy to advance up... Sulake is a company who do alot of internal changes.

Soooo yeah (A)

[Kyle]

looks like it's just for habbo canada

There's no way they would bring it back to uk because we have a huge mod team therefore hobbas wouldn't be needed.

[Laurensh1]

It are the old externals. The flash ones are the ones used now, it's just some outdated stuff in those externals.

Their not coming back.
Or at least, this is not proof for it if you want to keep the option open.

[Nxrissa]

Hmm this is interesting wether they do or not

[Sfinx]

Think its doubtfull they come back.. but if they do that would be great!
I'd deffintly apply to be one .. again haha

[Black_Apalachi]

Obviously this would be awesome if it happend. I spent my nooby days just trying to apply to become a Hobba :P.

But thinking about it, I don't see how or why they would ever bring back the system. Firstly, no matter how Habbo try to control it, there will be people who get through the net that are in some way or another not suitable for the job. The biggest fear of course, being idiots who will just abuse their power. I would say this would be more of a problem now than ever before.

Then there's the question of "why?". I mean, they employ a team of moderators to do the same job in a more thorough and professional manner. I don't see the point of taking the gamble of recruiting young volunteers. What would the advantages be?

I also can't imagine it being introduced in just one hotel (CA). Everything (big) that happens in a hotel somewhere, generally repeats itself in all hotels globally. Am I wrong?

However if this somehow does become a reality, I can only imagine the old Xs and obviously any old Hobbas who are still around, being asked to take on the duty. I don't think they will be looking for a huge team either, given that there will still be mods, so this may turn out to be more than enough. They obviously already have trust in these individuals so it goes without saying that they are the ones Habbo will turn to first.

so yo uwere 16/18 in your nooby days?

[Fart]

Hobbas was scraped because of security, alot of them was geting hacked.
If habbo finds a secure way to keep your accounts I dont see why they shouldnt come back.

[Black_Apalachi]

so yo uwere 16/18 in your nooby days?

How did you work that out? :S I was 12.

[Oleh]

It would be nice to get them back, but have more limited powers e.g. Fill a review in to ban somebody and a valid reason/proof to do so - would be more sensible

[Mickword]

I really like them to come back, I shall apply lol!

[Kronics]

Personally I dont think the Hobba's will come back. Their as so many more habbo user's than their has been in the past. And obviously the age for hobba's was 18.. And I wouldn't be suprised most of habbo are 18 or over. And they would get absolutely flooded with applications to become a hobba. BUT... it would be great if they came back :P But they wont :'(

[Black_Apalachi]

So who would process all those reviews? It's far more effective to get somebody to do both those tasks in one go. Queue, moderator. Besides what you described is esentially a Call for Help :P.

Isn't it like 20% of Habbo users are 18 or over? I'm sure I read that recently...

[dekkytsh]

If they come back it should be 18+ or even 20+, I only just turned 14 when I was a Hobba and it was full of abusing my powers. Although I shouldn't have been a Hobba at that age ;)

Exactly!
The only 'evidence' being presented is the fact there's descriptions for the hobba badges in the old externals! I would be frankly surprised if there wasn't a description/name assigned for these badges.

If the Hobba system did come back, it'd be a good thing I think, but I can't possibly imagine it will happen. For one it'd be Sulake doing a U-turn, something they always avoid at all costs.

[dekkytsh]

I don't know how it would be a U-turn if they re-visited the system... Anything is better than a bunch of pre-teens walking around thinking they are special, or just make the new moderators be 18+
