Habbo are partly to blame for the lack of involvement, because they seem to be happy with the idea that fansites need not exist.

I never did understand the way they got rid of the fansite page, sure its a group now, but its harder to find ;l

And rarely updated, if memory serves :/ Infact, can you even browse the Habbo website without being logged in/registered?

EDIT: I don't see Habbox mentioned? Is it not official?

His last visit before today was October :P

Those four fansites were the ones who got back in contact. There was well over week's notice given to official fansites, which is more than enough time for active fansites to get organised. Heck, two or three of the fansites involved this week have had other problems to contend with too.

Do I think sierk is happy? Yes, because Habbox is still around. But that doesn't disguise the fact it's become steadily more bureaucratic, conservative, overstaffed and compartmentalised.

I think sierk would say something along the lines of this;

I think Jin is doing a great job by introducing lots of new features, and making improvements everywhere. And he still has a lot of plans for the future!
I can't comment on how we do on Habbo, as I don't visit that anymore either. But the most important seems to me that we have a large group of users who enjoy visiting Habbox and that seems to be the case more than ever :)

lol :P I don't have any person experience of sierk and what his hopes and ideas for Habbox were exactly but I think the fact that despite everything, Habbox is still going strong and is still the main player within the Habbo fansite community, is impressive enough. While everyone criticises and complains about it, it is still going as strong as ever - well, maybe not as ever, but still very strong :8
