I just view it as unfair, infact alot of things have become that way since people like you were given dominion over the forum.

Because you can have a better sig sometimes with images then words:s

Signature is definitely not a place to show all your art etc. That is what threads are for :).

The mind boggles again - Now you are being told that signatures are not really for showing your artwork. Original avatars and signatures are a source of great pride to lots of the members and make the forum a more attractive place. The definition of signature seems to have been re-defined now by somebody who lives on a round planet. Same it isn't the same one most of the members live on.:S:eusa_wall

Yeah it does suck a little bit but on my main I am platinum so it's all good.

But if you owned habbox, wouldnt you want to make money?
Most sites, companies etc are there to make money - even charaties.

Tbh, I dont think signature size should be a VIP thing. As VIP is just about paying for the server. The images are NOT hosted on the server and will cause the server no more cpu load/bandwidth useage whatsoever.

So why not increase the regular user size or have everyone at an equal size? :\

Sorry but I have used many, many forums and most do not even allow images in the signature area because that is simply not what it was intended for ;).

Avatar area, yes that is for showing an image of something you have made or got made for you :). Same goes for profile image.

I don't really care for your sarcasim :$.

Now now ladies.


To seattle: Personally, I fail to see why you feel that paying members do not deserve improved features. Habbox has absolutely mind-boggling server costs, and there are various other expenses on top of that. To keep it running we need to sell VIP, thus we need to make VIP attractive. That is why VIPs get an advantage. And no, 15 pixels is not much of an advantage, originally it was a one-picture advantage, so VIPs could have two images of 150 pixels height each or something equal and non VIPs could have one. And then the rule was changed to say a total of 300 or a total of 150 for all images, depending on your status as VIP or non-VIP.

I bet there are many, many Forums where they don't use their main boards for trading virtual furniture, but we can, right? What makes you think this Forum need follow any others?

Having a signature image is something the vast majority of Habbox's primary users enjoy having, at the current size. I, personally, feel that 150x700 is a great non-VIP size, but I also enjoy my 300x700 size because I pay real money every month to use that additional service.

Why do you think you should get more space, when you can, just by buying VIP?

I think you mean 'Sarcasm' but there you go. Habbox has always had a history of quite talented innovative members who use the avatars and signature to display their personalitys and they are real people behind the keyboards and in fact are paying customers of this forum to a great extent.
In the commercial world companies attract people by giving them what they want and I don't think that saying that most forums do not allow images cuts it quite frankly. This is what has made Habbox unique and popular in the past.
With the present attitude, however I am not sure whether it wil stay that way for long.

Yes you are right NVR :)
