Hi,
I joined habbo in late 2004, I think my main habbo years were 2005-2007, although I think I may have had a small return, I can remember things like mood lighting, habbo X's ending and habbo club getting a longer cycle if anyone can date that - maybe it's in that time frame. Ever since then I've been periodically popping back for a good dose of nostalgia. I've been trying to find out if my estimate of those years is right by dating them against memorable events, I'm wondering if anyone who remembers can help indulge my nostalgia with anything I might have forgotten :D
I remember hobbas and wanting to be one, then Habbo X's and wanting to be one, sadly neither happened :(
One of the big stand out events in my mind I think was Christmas 2005 with the whole elves vs reindeer thing which I really enjoyed. I also have memories of big brother like events such as the Always campaign and a foggy memory of some big brother like game in a public room, an island maybe? Also a valentine event where heart badges were given out by people who would either kiss or kick you once you got into a room, I got in a few times but always for a kick :P
A strange memory was new public rooms like an outdoorsy asian room which had a pier that people thought a boat would arrive at, leading to many false predictions of it's imminent arrival :D
Controversies I remember were the green pillow that was mysteriously released for only a few hours and one of I think several hacking scares but this one was about dutch hackers? It was always quite funny to see people pretending to be hackers "Oh I can see all your stuff, what nice furni you have".
What is everyone else's memories of that time?
