Good morning!

I think it's the first time I've actually done Sunday Updates in the morning so I'm on the ball today, I need to make room for Big Brother to come and shove me out of my place :(

A couple of these updates are controversial and I'd like to ask the tech section not to send out a hunt for my head but y'know, I can't please everybody :(

So what do we have today?


Removal of the 'Forum Designing' forum
Removal of the IT Crowd and Public Pixel Artists Usergroups.

New Forum Specific Rules for the Scams Forum

[Hecktix]

Following a suggestion by HotelUser (who wins a Sunday Updates award and 30 rep points) we decided to look into the 'Forum Designing' subforum within the Designing and Development section.

We realised that this forum has become incredibly quiet therefore have decided to remove it and move all of it's posts into the Designing & Development section.

This should clear up the forum a little!

It's been suggested many times over the past few months that the IT Crowd and Public Pixel Artists usergroups have little point and unless we are going to create more joinable usergroups then we should probably get rid of them. I have always agreed with this and it's time to do it.

Why? You may ask, but we now have Community Groups and this is part of HabboxForum which is being underused due to Management not promoting it right, so this is phase one of my Community Groups promotion.

Both of these groups have been removed and replaced with Community Groups:

IT Crowd:
http://www.habboxforum.com/group.php?groupid=74


PPA:
http://www.habboxforum.com/group.php?groupid=75

I'm sorry to those that will be upset by this news, but I assure you it is what is best for Habbox Forum!

Mr-Trainor has drawn us up a revamped version of the Forum Specific Rules for the 'Scams' section, this is aimed to reduce the number of members getting in trouble for accusing other members of scamming.
