Habplus (retro) shut down!

[Chrisbud1]

Seems like the retro has closed down because habbo sent them a letter to do so or else legal action will be taken. It was a huge retro with many users online daily. Take a look here: twitter.com/habplus

I actually saw some people talking about this in a casino the other day, glad to see habbo are finally winning the battle over retros

[Lewis]

Good. Retros are stupid --- the only good thing about them is that most of them are old-school habbo. And some had battle ball.

(So I've heard of different people...)

[MKR&*42]

Oh wow that one used to be quite popular. Seems all the big retros have started vanished lately

[lemons]

lmao and so many habbo tributes used that site as well

[iBlueBox]

Good as well.

[Scotland]

Good. - Another one bites the dust...

[.P1x13-Dust.]

O_O I remember that one being rather popular. I never played retros myself (big no no, obviously), but sometimes I do catch myself reminiscing over screenshots of the Old Habbo. I miss those days.

[David]

e5; far too strict mate lol use your common sense it's not even a retro anymore.

[lemons]

why was it moved from news and rumours i think it qualifies for it

[Lewis]

I agree Zitrone; and it's not a retro now, apparently...

Promoting anything that is/was illegal is against Habbo terms and conditions and therefore against Habbox's. We even have our own rule for it. It could be back etc. we are an official fansite and don't want retros/ex-retros mentioned on this forum as it is a form of advertising.

It's not official fansite or official Habbo relate. Infact it's quite the opposite - illegal and not allowed to be advertised as said in the above quote. Therefore doesn't qualifiy for Habbo UK news.

Please stay on topic now.

[karter]

why are you removing the name...whats the point it's shut anyways

i think u need to chill out mods

I have a question, why do all mods still say habbo UK news and rumours, I thought all hotels merged lol. Noticed that a while ago, unless UK stands for something else?

on topic:

I'm glad it's shut down. And wow, a million registered on a retro. Wouldn't surprise me if it had more online than habbo.com currently...

[edible]

Very poor moderating in here that I've come to expect from the poor moderation team.

[Pezza]

Never really got the point of retros to be honest.

[Drunq]

Good. Retros are not good. Keep it real Habbo

Force of habit lol, sorry.

Personally don't think I've ever heard of this retro before, but glad another one is shut down. I had no use for them and it's only killing the real game they're trying to re create

Free, basically. And they can bring out any furni etc. won't say too much lol

[Michael]

Thank bloody god, that site had 1000 users and I knew someone who was thinking about leaving Habbo to go there. Good riddance.

[steamyxo]

only used 2 go on it to build rooms if i aint got enough creds to do so on habbo.

[sexpot]

i don't get why some people here put down habbo for making pointless updates/wishing old habbo would come back but then put down places where you can experience old school habbo. it's very confusing

[Daltron]

Good to see it shut down.

[Ekelektra]

Good. Closing down retros will be good for Habbo. I'm kinda surprised though that they've only closed down this one which is so huge now, it's been around for ages and I'm sure they haven't just recently learnt about its existence. But it is good they're cracking down on them.

[orientalframe?]

it's good that they're finally doing something to crack down on them :)

I suppose it's probably a lot more complicated than that behind the scenes. I'm not actually sure if Habbo would live up to their threat and take legal action or not if Habplus didn't back down. I have a feeling they were banking on the retro panicking and shutting ASAP.

I don't think I've even ever heard of this particular retro but good riddance I get. If it had a million(ish) people signed up hopefully we'll have a few more people coming back to Habbo now.

[steamyxo]

*REMOVED* i do it for fun mostly, and being rich on habbo doesnt mean you are the best or the greatest.

ot: why is habbo only taking action now, couldnt it of closed down retors ages ago?

[AaidenX]

[Chrisbud1]

only like the one's with the old public rooms :(

[steamyxo]

some of these -reputation points are extremly pathetic.. naming a retro site... im pretty sure others did

[LiquidLuck.]

Good thing they are taking action on retros..

[JerseySafety]

I'm not for retros or anything but my friend used to own this and tbh it hasn't hurt him one bit. He's got a new retro and has majority of the user base from old closed retro to that new retro. Habbo still aren't doing enough to combat retros imo.

[Rachel]

Habbo will close down majority of retros and the retro founder will always find a way to make another one everytime.

[Grimmauld]

the crazy thing is that the habplus retro owner has surely made thousands and now he has a simple reason to just pack up and run.

[e5]

The money owed etc and stuff that Habbo try get is enough to put them off making another one lol

Yeah I suppose so or probably try and make another one in a few years time lol

I usually don't agree to all of you , You see im a member of habplus and seen it very quite polite. Also why'd habbo wanted it to shut down , I mean they did not do anything wrong? Why so .. You did not even need to buy for VIP it had free coins.

They stole content that wasn't theirs, drawing business away from Sulake. Sounds pretty wrong to me.

[ToyTruck]

Glad to see that Habbo are shutting down retros. *REMOVED*

I am weak at the little kids so angry over it closing. LOOOOOOOOOOOOL.

I'm just glad they give up their free time to help this forum out if I'm honest. :)

That argument is largely redundant though because there are a plethora of people who would like the role and be able to apply common sense.

Regarding this thread: I was right anyway and glad the decision was overturned.
