Dec MMXV, everything somewhat started with HabboQuests but it didn't take longer than 0.32 days until Habbox found me via, I believe, quite a Greek-y Help Desk on which the words of that time's staffers sold me the beauty of this fansite and we're here until the present day, occasionally touring at our friend HabboBites as they're fab likewise
main: Habbox + HHGS
brief: thinkhabbo, clubhabbo and hffm
I started at a lovely little fansite called Habio.co.uk - the guy was a brilliant PHP coder and coded his entire user system and you could earn points. It seemed pretty revolutionary back then.
Then, guess my next milestone was working for Puhekupla which was fun. I was a failed community manager as my building skills fucking sucked (I'm sure some of you would've said the same when you came to our official badge events) but I did a few bits there. I'm also technically still at Habborator (the Habbo museum, when I was asked to join the crew to help on some areas of the site, now it just serves as a Fansite frozen in time, you should check it out if you don't know what it is!).
I then had a brief stint at HabboQuests as a Site Manager, but really didn't like it and wasn't given any freedom to try anything. I assume this has something to do with how the fansite team has now completely split off from the old owner.
And now I'm here! I love Habbox and I remember how proud I was, in the beginning, of working at the biggest and oldest Habbo fansite. I felt it was quite an achievement. I still do and I'm proud of the things I've done here and hopefully will do in the future.
Habborator is probably my favorite fan site! One of the sporadic situations we can really feel that the people behind a habbo-related is really enjoying what they are doing and everything about it is a tutorial of how a Habbo fansite should look like/talk aboutQuote:

Yes, lovely to hear and I agree, an absolute goldmine of stuff. Perfect for fansites.Quote:

Habbo Paradise as in the Aussie one a good 13 years ago?Quote:

Yes but I don't remember ever being involved or going on it, I just know that I had a forum account so must have checked it out a few times.Quote:
