Breaking News: is this the end of fansites, goodbye Habbox?

saw powertoo speaking about this ages ago..
she said fansites can accept donations but the fansites cant ask for them.

Also, Usul why do you moan/are grumpy sooooo much?

I didn't exactly tell them to remove it, I just questioned it then I said there was no legit proof from every single year/month/day that the money would not be used for personal gain and there is some sites that do use it for that. Then I was asked to send a list so I did, and here we are. It is against the rules either way because sulake won't check every fansite every single day and have no legit proof as things can easily be edited and it would take them a lot of effort, work and time that they don't have.

I don't get why people are moaning at me, I'm not staff I didn't take the final decision - they did :)

So you're saying that because there's no proof that these sites are breaking the rules, they must be

Nobody is moaning at you for the decision made, they're moaning at you for your lack of knowledge into what actually counts as a rule break and how a kind of decision like this is detrimental to ALL fansites. Every fansite gets into financial difficulties (sooner or later) and they need to ask users to help. You seem to think that every fansite uses the money for their own gain, and that's what people dislike as that is not the case at all.

As for the final decision though, I can see that getting reversed once Sulake realize what they've actually caused haha.

Habbox and probably most official fansites who use donator don't even gain a profit, and for those who do, if any, who cares. You're just trying to cause trouble or eliminate competition if you are from another fansite :/...

And as ryry just said above, there is no gain for Habbox.

Yeah :S. The fansite he's at probably gets no donations so he doesn't want any to be getting them? That's the only way I can see him benefiting from this.

Erm, maybe because of your first post in this thread. In case you've forgotten, it began with

'Basically this happened because of me..'

Hahahaha oh god that pretty much sums up this Hidden guy, says one thing then backtracks when it's getting fiesty. Denies anything with actual relevance to be true, and anything he disagrees with is, in his words, "incorrect".

Where's the rule that fansite cannot accept donations? As before, it's been stated that fansites cannot have a "monetary objective". Accepting donations for the upkeep of the site is not having a monetary objective.

Habbox Owners doesn't twist ANYONE'S arm to donate. Getting color name and stuff is like a thank you for donating but they don't have to donate.

Habbox isn't the only fansite who has been pointed this rule, so when you have proof that EVERY fansite doesn't with LEGIT facts and proof then complain but the fact is... you all don't. You have their 'word' which means nothing. I honestly couldn't care less if they revoked it or not. bye

Yeah, we're aware it's not the only site pointed out by the rule, we've been in this thread too. When you have proof that this would be beneficial to the entire fansite community, then let us know. Otherwise, bye.
