This year's Christmas VIP has received four nominations that I'm appealing to you, our community, and the wider Habbo population!

Vote in the poll above, which will be combined with votes on our Twitter poll, which will be posted momentarily! Poll open until 3rd December.

Onto the nominations:

Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is an international, independent, medical humanitarian organisation that delivers emergency aid to people affected by armed conflict, epidemics, natural disasters and exclusion from healthcare. MSF offers assistance to people based on need, irrespective of race, religion, gender or political affiliation.

The organization actively provides health care and medical training to populations in about 70 countries and frequently insists on political responsibility in conflict zones such as Chechnya and Kosovo. Only once in its history, during the 1994 genocide in Rwanda, has the organization called for military intervention. In order to be able to speak and act freely, MSF remains independent of any political, religious or economic powers.

The Samaritans is a registered charity aimed at providing emotional support to anyone in emotional distress, struggling to cope, or at risk of suicide throughout the United Kingdom and Ireland, often through their telephone helpline.

The Samaritans' Vision is that fewer people die by suicide. They work to achieve this vision by helping to alleviate emotional distress and reduce the incidence of suicide feelings and suicidal behaviour, using their 24 hour a day hotlines to provide emotional support for people who are struggling to cope, including those who have had thoughts of suicide.

ShelterBox is an international disaster relief charity that provides temporary shelter and life saving supplies to displaced families.


Each ShelterBox typically contains a tent designed to withstand extreme weather conditions, water purification kit, blankets, tools, and other necessities to help a family survive after a disaster. The contents of a ShelterBox are tailored to the nature and location of the disaster. ShelterBox Response Teams distribute boxes on the ground, working closely with local organisations, international aid agencies and Rotary clubs worldwide.

ind is a mental health charity in England and Wales. Founded in 1946 as the National Association for Mental Health (NAMH), it celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2006.


Mind offers information and advice to people with mental health problems and lobbies government and local authorities on their behalf. It also works to raise public awareness and understanding of issues relating to mental health.[2] Since 1982, it has awarded an annual prize for "Book of the Year" having to do with mental health, in addition to three other prizes


Over 180 local Mind associations (independent, affiliated charities) provide services such as supported housing, floating support schemes, care homes, drop-in centres and self-help support groups. Local Mind associations are often very different in size, make up and character—it is a common misconception that they all work to the same policy and procedural framework. Mind is a national brand but all local associations are unique, although they do all sign up to certain shared aims and ethical guidelines.

Where's the HabboxForum Skin Charity? Didn't it receive the most votes

- - - Updated - - -

I just had a quick check

Doctors without borders - $335 million income for 2015
Samaritans - £13.2 million income for 2015
Mind - £37.1 million income for 2015
Shelter Box - £12.7 million income for 2015

So I'd vote for either Shelterbox or Samaritans if we can't vote for HabboxForum Skin Fund

I opted for Samaritans given it's spent on British people in need.

Yeah, I asked about the thermometer before when the VIP was first brought out but I was told it was going to be done soon but it never happened so I don't think we'll have one this year it was a fun feature but always next year :D

The tracker can be enabled, the code for it is still there. It's just depressing to look at.

That's not so bad! :O Is there anyway to like change the limit on the thermometer so it goes up to a lower amount or something?

I think having it there might encourage more people to donate/act as a reminder/announcement that we're doing it xD I'll be donating Friday too!

It is if you compare it to previous years and there is only like 11 days left of the month. I mean sure £60 is £60 and with the amount of active members we now have then it makes sense. But with the current tracker and it has a goal of like £500/£600 then it looks bad.

It could be changed but someone who knows how to code would have to look at that. So scottish; or whoever we have thesedays.

AFAIK the thermometer was being dodgy last year so was removed I think!


and yeee like Martin said I did announce the charity! I realised I hadn't uploaded the award though so I'll do that now!

Looking at recent payments, about £66 so far btw!

It's on Chris; if he wants to enable it though.
