Homepages not coming back!

[Michael]

@PaulLaFo @habbo_timywood No problem and also like what timmy said are home pages coming back?

@Habbo_See @habbo_timywood Home pages are not planned for right now.


Shocking news, r.i.p the credits I have wasted on them - which isn't a lot :P

[Samantha]

There will be so many complaints at that I believe, how are we gonna know if someone's banned too. They're trying to make it all client based and its just too much. I know they werent the contributors to sexual things.

[MKR&*42]

No, I like people's homepages they're nice and beautiful. Wow ok.

I understand they're trying to make everything client based, but I liked looking at people's homepages? Feel sorry for people who have spent credits on them lol.

[Red]

A lot of people aren't going to be happy...... I feel sorry for the people who love to design them and spent loads. I have at least spent 50c which isn't a lot compared to some but still.

[Jarkie]

Nooo they can't take the homepages away! :-(

Riot in HALLWAY!!

oh yer.. no hallway :(

[geo]

jesus christ omg no. i really liked home pages, it was kinda a nice way of meating new people and finding new people to talk to. lol well done habbo, making things even crappier..

[Zuth]

Thank god I never customised mine, still a shame to those who spent loads on them though.

[lawrawrrr]

Noooo!!! I love homepages :( Even though mine's really simple... it's so easy to check if your desired account is taken!!

[Michael]

Everyone knew the time was going to come one day.

[sex]

i spent like 300 credits on my banned accounts home page lol
****

[Samantha]

Another thing is that if they dont return you can only contact friends, as via minimail and stuff u need to be friends but now you can't basically. They probably think that's better security lol.

[Lewis]

300+c on my old accounts home. I demand a refund!

[Paige.]

ffs i hope they give us a refund (doubt it) spent loads on mine and my other account.. :l

[Abdicators]

He didn't say they were being removed, he said they're not coming back yet. It's always been said that Habbos are going to be able to have their own space which they can be customized.

[xxMATTGxx]

Well that's messed up verification on a lot of fansites for sure. Oh well, we'll deal with that another time.

[Michael]

'Home pages are not planned for right now.'

They said that about trax, etc and that never came back!

[DPS]

Honestly didnt use mine.. so idc.

But he doesnt say they aint coming back, just said they wont for now...

[Munex]

300+c on my old accounts home. I demand a refund!

This is the exact same for my old account. I really doubt anything will be refunded ... I remember when all the game tickets that I bought went to waste as well - no refund whatsoever.

Also, my old account's homepage won 'Disarno's Ideal Homes' competition. Shame to see that go.

[Jordy]

This isn't confirmation they're not coming back. It just means they're not coming back right away, after all they're hardly a priority unlike the client itself. I think everyone's jumped the gun here and just believed the first post rather than understanding what Paul actually put.

Then again they wouldn't be missed if they did go, always been a bit of a flop.

[kitten]

wow how annoying, i loved peoples homepages and i spent a few credits on mine, i hope they're not gone for good though. :(

[Michael]

The likelyhood of them going though, is very high. There hasn't been an update in stickers been uploaded for about a year, they've abandoned it.

^ This

[Leviaton2]

Ah well, no-one uses them anyway.

[Ellz]

Why are the getting rid of like everything? I don't mind tbh becuase i've never really spent anything on homepages but still, it is nice to look at some

[Kyle]

Well it seems to me that you've misapplied his tweet completely, they're just not a top priority right now and, by the looks of it, won't be given any UPDATES in the near future - that's not to say that they'll be removed completely.

Some of you may not use your homepages but a lot of people do, or at least DID, before 0rca/disarno stopped doing homepage design competitions. Aside from building a massive 900 acre square room laden with about £1,000 worth of furni they're basically one of the only other ways you can actually be creative. also BRING BACK GROUP PAGES. :(

[SackRace]

nooooooo! I have spendt loads of credits on my home page :(

[auffant1]

Not suprised :P. Home pages really aren't used.

[Pigperson]

Didn't use them like at all tbh, I do think it will ruin some people's rooms and communities etc. They really need to keep forums especially.

[Fifty-Six]

I think this tweet was taken out of context. Pretty sure the person who tweeted him was referring to the re-opening/"unmute" of homepages...

[PiippBB]

Paul's tweet could be taken to mean anything to be honest. Everything else he's posted this past weekend has turned out to be so misleading it could be looked at as a lie, so I'll reserve judgement on this until we actually hear something from the staff themselves.

[Xedia]

Doesn't really affect me but it's a shame never the less.

[Plebings]

not really bothered if they do go, only i can't show off my kwl badges

[Seikou]

i never really done much to mine but i spent a few creds on my old account, wonder if they'll refund them.. i did like looking at others pages though :~(

[Tom]

I'm quite glad I didn't spend any credits on them then :P

[Jordan]

As people have said they haven't actually said they are not coming back. Maybe they will re-design it?

[LiquidLuck.]

My homepage was freaking amazing! D:

[Cornelius]

;l

I kinda figured this was going to happen.
doubtful there will be some compensation too...

[Floxed]

I think you're all exaggerating. Paul said that it's not on the planning right now. Habbo is bringing everything back step by step. Maybe it'll come back in the future.

And if they're planning to close them for good, I'm sure Habbo wil give us a refund for stickers and backgrounds (like they did with the cameras and photos).

Can't wait for the badge or trophy they give us as compensation!

[PiippBB]

As others have said it's really not their priority right now. I would imagine the most important features they want to restore right now are the client and IM chat. That's where they make the money. I'm sure home pages will return in time, but if they don't, is anyone really that bothered?

[October]

omfg. i've spent about 2k credits on habbo homes wtfff

[iFlame]

This is a really bad choice, not a fan now.

[dunke]

paul is dumber than channel4

[Sloths]

Never customised mine apart from the free stuff, sucks for people who spent creds on them :(

[Chris]

Hmm a bit of a shame really, I know a lot of people put a lot of time and money into creating their page. Very much doubt anyone will be reimbursed. :(

[Futz]

Only reason I went on homepages was to see if names were taken, bwahhhh.

[LiquidLuck.]

I spent ages decorating my homepage.. It sucks that no one will ever look at it anymore. :/

[Rottentroll]

They'll be back.

[ickles]

Well... I spent a lot of credits on some of my older homepages, and my old group homepage, what a shame :blue_sad

[ROT]

Has the link for habbo homes changed? have they gone? the website is worthless if they have removed them..

look!≈ http://habbo.com/home/e@@

Thread merged by Chris (Forum Moderator): As there is already a thread discussing this.

[Absently]

they're gone forever now, shame for all the people who spent tonnes on them.

[Red]

I don't think its been confirmed if they are not coming back? They have been removed for the time being anyway.

[ROT]

they're gone forever now, shame for all the people who spent tonnes on them.

are they literally trying their best to ******* destroy the website?
they should ******* respect that its not all 9 year old twits
how else is anyone supposed to have a conversation now?

absolutely ridiculous

[Toilet]

It hasn't been confirmed that they are not coming back at all, just not right now. I would take it with a grain of salt though, who knows what will happen or if they will make a return at all.

[JustinNewcastle]

Is there some way to change our tags?

[Toilet]

Is there some way to change our tags?
I think you can only add tags at this point. As far as I know there's no way to remove them but I suppose you could try customer support.

[JustinNewcastle]

Thanks for the reply. How do I go about adding tags then, without the homepage?

[Fifty-Six]

Thanks for the reply. How do I go about adding tags then, without the homepage?

Don't believe you can. The my profile widget was the only place where they could be changed. Have to wait until homepages are relaunched before we can change them.

[Eric]

habbo has become a ****** and boring website now, removing old stuffs and adding ****** new stuffs. why dont they just delete habbo and make a new one instead

[Toilet]

Thanks for the reply. How do I go about adding tags then, without the homepage?
Just visit http://www.habbo.com/tag and then search the tag that you want to add and click on the button where it says "tag yourself with:".

[Jarkie]

Habbo homes will be back :) They are just hidden due to the mute, give it a few weeks!

[JustinNewcastle]

Just visit http://www.habbo.com/tag and then search the tag that you want to add and click on the button where it says "tag yourself with:".

Thank you for the help! I never knew about that feature.

[Empired]

Ohh I loved homepages! I can't believe they're getting rid of them. It's not like they were doing any damage?? I never spent any credits on them, but I sure feel sorry for the people who did!

[JustinNewcastle]

It seems they are just removed for the mute. Perhaps they just removed any way for people to chat, like talking through homepages or group forums, mottos, tags, event names, etc. Room names and descriptions, plus writing on sticky notes, still works though. I had a conversation on habbo in a group area with stickies yesterday.

[Zak]

I used to like writing on people's guestbooks tbh

[Michael]

Habbo could have just blocked habbo homepages instead of the full page.. seems strange.

[notahabbo]

Wow! These people are running habbo to the ground. I am glad I quit back in 2009 just when things were getting a bit ******. Unfortunately I just came back and a piece of my childhood just died.

I miss the good ol' days when each week or so there will be a campaign with a cheesy story line, competitions and quests/quizzes. At the end a rare would be released for 25 coins which would be a good investment and was written into the story of the campaign. Now it is like: here is a rare, go buy it for 1000 credits, and then in one week time you can only trade it for 10 credits. They are so much more money orientated than before. It used to be the perfect balance but now it is just money money money with them- at the detriment of the community and the future of the habbo brand.

They muted everyone so that people couldn't witness the sexual chat themselves after checking the site out when seeing the news about it. Why not just mute the new users. Duh.

btw who remembers when they released all that crappy IRL furni and which one of you losers bought it? :-)

Habbo guestbooks*

[Memorilla]

brb, reporting them to channel 4 for scamming little children!!!

[Danilynn]

It makes sense if they wouldn't bring them back right away, they can't monitor every home page. I think they're going to wait and see and then bring things back in strides. If they brought everything back in one clump it would defeat the purpose of the mute.

[Fifty-Six]

Ohh I loved homepages! I can't believe they're getting rid of them. It's not like they were doing any damage?? I never spent any credits on them, but I sure feel sorry for the people who did!

People could still communicate through the guestbook widget, so I guess they removed them for the same reason they blocked the forums now.

[Danilynn]

For a finalized answer to all of you worried
Paul LaFontaine ‏@PaulLaFo
We are looking at the home pages, don't know final answer.
This is Paul's response on twitter!

[lHazze]

But...but I loved the home pages...they let me see what badges I had if the hotel was down or who my 'friends' were if I forgot and I added some cool like 1c stuff...

R.I.P. Habbo

I will commence the shame basking.

[Eric]

good news.

[Ardemax]

Bit pointless them removing the homepages imo. Removing the guestbooks would have been fine... but this is sulake guys!! (which I didn't know was pronounced su-lah-key, lol)

I wonder what they mean by 'technical changes' inside the habbo home? :S

[lHazze]

Who knows, maybe they might be re-coding it to work a bit better. or they might be adding stuff to fix the new coming style?

[Plod]

Is there any more news on this? Since the Mute is over, the homepages aren't back yet. If they're coming back?

[Showder]

I assure you, it's only probably for a few weeks? (Or months.)

[karter]

@PaulLaFo (https://twitter.com/PaulLaFo) Please don't remove the homepages! I have designed them over years and they are a PART of habbo! I will be heartbroken ! :(


@Kromium1 (https://twitter.com/Kromium1) I don't want you heartbroken Kromium! More news on homepages soon though

whatever it means lol

[Explorator]

I've spent about 30c on my homepage and it's kind of annoying to see it go, i also feel sorry for the people who spent hundreds of credits on theres. They're not ready to go..

Not yet anyway

[Lxme]

Paul did say homepages are not planned.. for right now.
Ding ding ding, he did not say homepages are no longer on Habbo. ;)

You think thats bad? Most of us on here have spent like 50c+ on them lmao.
