I get a lot of people asking me why someone my age uses Habbo, it's simple really, as a qualified multimedia producer and artist i find sites like Habbohotel to be amazing concepts, especially as i played games that were based on the pixels iso style as a kid and not having the internet back then meant there was no real interactivity with other people, so naturally when i came across the very basic Mobiles Disco in 2001 i was blown away, imagine my reaction when i was shown Habbohotel shortly afterwards! Admittedly i don't normally get so hooked on sites like that but 5 years down the line and i'm actually involved in the site itself in my role as a Supervisor Hobba, alongside many other hobbas and staff, some of whom will be around my age as well.
As for hanging out in some of the forums, the 3 habbo related forums i use are just a few of the other 20+ other non-related forums i'm subscribed to, i like to stick around these places so i can keep up with goings on, show off some artwork and give any advice on topics that i might be able to share my knowledge in, thats what the net is all about after all. :)
I understand the whole paranoia surrounding adults on the internet, but we're not all weirdo's or boring pipe and slipper types....honest. :p
