i know it's been asked/proposed before over the years, but, why can't we have pictures of ourselves as our avatars?
i know before it was something to do with the official fansite ting, but we ain't an official fansite anymore, so why can't it be allowed?
i can't really see the harm in it, the user would be the one deciding whether to use their photo or not and it wouldn't be mandatory for all users to reveal their identity.
thoughts?

Still official. Though you could get away with murder now.
Habbox isn't official anymore? When did this happen?
Also, your profile picture is allowed to be a picture of yourself.
I don't think it has anything to do with being official, I just don't want to see your face staring at me when I make posts, it's either:
- distracting
- offputting, by some peoples er...

I see what you mean, how many strikes do we get? lol
Are you serious? Do you think Habbo pays attention to fansites anymore?
When was the last time a Habbo Staff said they'd DJ on a Habbo Radio or do a meet & greet?
They've lost contact with their community completely.
The fansite rules are obsolete now. They are not enforced even with Habbo Staff browsing the forums daily (Redtiz). We could sell VIP all year round and probably not get told off.
eg.We have an ENTIRE forum section that breaks that rule.Quote:

Also, koony I'm not sure on some of your "O" and "X" things in your post. Please clarify.
Oh sorry, should have made a legend lol. Below is based upon what I have seen as a new member, open to interpretation.Quote:

O = Pass, as far as I know.
X = Naughty, according to previous Habbo Staff. That we do.
/? = I'm not too sure.
Not really, and obviously not LOL. I couldn't care really unless someone starts haxoring me.Quote:

HabboxForum does not do this. Selling Donator is permitted. As for the current VIP, that is also permitted because all income generated goes to charity :).
* Act as an affiliate for a commercial entity, nor offer merchandise (including Habbo furni) or services for sale. X
That means that people can not buy/sell Habbo for real money. Which is against our forum rules.
* Represent that your site is approved by or affiliated with Sulake Corporation Oy or that any other content on your site is approved by or affiliated with Sulake Corporation Oy. X
I'm sure in the terms and conditions of HabboxForum, it says that we are not approved/affiliated with Sulake Corporation Oy :P.
i believe it was turned down last time because no one wanted to see ugly teenagers everywhere
