What would you be doing now if you didn't join Habbo(x)?

I'm glad I joined both Habbo and Habbox. I've stayed active on the forum especially for absolutely ages and have poured a lot of time into it but I don't regret it. Nor do I regret my time on Habbo. I've been able to meet some fantastic people through both and when I joined Habbo I was really new to the internet and when I joined Habbox I was still a noob, so it has been a great learning experience.

I don't think it has helped me personally in any way. I'm the kind of person who just goes about their business, keeps myself to myself and it's the same on the forum. I don't think I have ever created a thread asking for any personal help or advice or anything like that and the internet as a whole has improved my knowledge and such, I wouldn't put that down to Habbox and I don't think I have discovered anything particular *just* through the forum or Habbo, so for me they've both just been a fun way to pass some extra time. I can't say what life would be like if I didn't join. It's just as Gomme said... still alive, breathing and doing something else to waste my time.

Mostly I am glad I joined just because of the people and it's probably the only reason I am still here today.

It was destiny for us to meet, Chris.

I'm still blaming you for staying up late :(

I really don't know. Having joined habbox at the age of 13 it helped me, when I was younger i found it hard to speak to people, and obviously began speaking to people online(those who I still keep in touch with).

Without Habbox, I would have never started Graphic Design(not just habbo alts), so that's another thing I'm thankful for.

My only regret was leaving in late 07/start of 08, I should have remained active - just 'outside' of the habbo section.

I haven't a clue really. Certainly wouldn't be talking to the awesome people I've known for five years, or longer. Some great times and memories had on both Habbo and Habbox.

Bit late in replying to this really but it's an excellent topic and certainly interesting to read.

I became too involved in Habbox when I found myself running it that I stopped enjoying it and even on occasion prioritising it over more important things (like studying!). In the end it got too much and as most of you will recall I just walked away, I didn't step foot back on this forum or habbo for 2 months.

What did I do without habbox? I went out more, I saw my friends more and I saw my family more. After 2 months of doing this you find that you've exhausted your options and exhausted your funds for the summer therefore each day you're left with a few hours wondering 'what can I do? I'm bored'.

That's what's brought me back, to fill that spare time, I remembered that before I took habbox too seriously it was so much fun and there were a lot of great people here. I had such fun using this site casually but running it definitely wasn't for me.

In terms of what Habbox has taught me, it's taught me how to be confident in myself and that I can be successful. Those of you who know me will know in 2006 I was banned, do not hire listed and fired from here. I came back 2 years on to get a job and work my way up to the very top. Not exactly one of my top ten proudest achievements but it reminded me if you work hard you will succeed, something which probably helped me get a place at a top ten institution for my degree course. It's something that will spur me on in taking on the competitive field of clinical psychology.

Also, before working in the mod department here I was crap at teamwork, now I'm a little better and I can thank Catzsy for this one :)

Habbo changed my whole life. lol.

I can't even speak proper english until i joined Habbo and became a DJ after a few months ( that was like 3 years ago and yes english isn't my first language )

I just joined Habbox a few months ago , so i dont think there's any big changes. Just the same as i joined Habbo so yeahhhhhh.

urm my life hasan't been changed by habbox so i'd be doing the same

Id be on a different forum site.

Well I'd probably be showing more interest at work instead of browsing and posting on here

I think that's rather significant, many people say Habbo is stupid for small kids but it's not like Oli said it gave him confidence and made him believe he can be successful.

Also, I believe me being an (Assistant) Manager gives me a bit of experience in real life as I only did work experience for two weeks and that was at a school but they put me in the nursery. However, I would probably play habbo still but I wouldn't be involved with many people I would have nothing to my name but I wouldn't care about it as much.
