Hmmm.
I doubt it very much although you never know.
The domain is actually registered under Sulake LTD and was created in 2004 so hey ho.
Ok..., i was just thinking cuz the Habbo Beta is like a town really.
New news for me
ooh sounds interesting!
good find, possible just to help people find the site, like if I was to make a gaming site I might purchase gaming.com and computergaming.com etc.
Sulake might change there name to that or Habbo hotel might change to habbotown.co.uk or sulake might be called Habbotown.net (main site) and have Habbotown.co.uk Habbotown.com.au etc
yeh, it is an interesting prospect. theres always wierd speculation about things sometimes.
BTW does anyone have the link to that thing where you can get habbo on your ngage or did that shut down? i remember some interesting stuff being on there.
EDIT= www.minifriday.com anyone ever tried it?
No, sulake own alot of domains to do with habbo.
There is not a new BETA. Everyones just wetting themselves over a 2001 screenshot.
If there is a new habbo, it will be "Habbo 2"
It is to stop scamsites.
cool info tho. :D

Tom you're going to get this found by HABBOX NEWBS!!! Ah well.
habbo also buy domain names that bad fansites are using ?? for example habboexpose.com we all know that one sulake purchased that domain name!
SOM is a joke.
How can you call him immature when you're acting like a 5 year old?
Habbo 2 - I doubt it, I doubt they'll make another Habbo. But maybe they will, might not be a hotel, could be like "Habbo Town" or something. I'm sure it'd get popular. But I doubt it, I think they just bought the domain.
Yes, Habbo2 like he said is the current codename, LIKE HE SAID all products have original codenames. DS=NITRO, WII=Nintendo Revolution, GAMECUBE= Project Dolphin =]
This is actually quite exciting to see how it could look, but it wouldn't feel very habboy tbh, I like pixel art.
Sulake buy up a lot of domains for various reasons, they own Snouthill.com and others alike. Habbotown.net could mean anything, they could even be making a town where you can pick out the hotel that you want to go to so that it's all on one server (doubtful, but a theory).
About the BETA Habbo, that was released in 2001 for the BETA testers to use. This will not be returning as Habbo Hotel is at a stable revenue at the moment and returning it to it's BETA stages would be practically going back to stage 1 of Habbo. In result of this Sulake would probably go bankrupt. Regarding Habbo 2, I don't know if this is true or not, but I doubt it. If they do release it they will more than likely release it as a sub-initiative to the normal Habbo, (meaning you can decide which to use). Perhaps Habbo 2 would be a computer game released in shops like The Sims?
Edit: Perhaps even if they did release Habbo 2 in the shops it would be called 'Habbotown' because if you look at some of the Habbo 2 screen shots, you can see the Habbos going to the shop to buy a hat and so on. Again this is just a theory.
I think Habbo 2 would be a good idea, it is time for Sulake to think about it since they are just doing the same things over and over (releasing different coloured furni a lot and releasing so many rares that the word rares has lost its touch). I remember in 2004, Habbo was so much more fun specially whilst trading since there weren't so many rares and having 1 rare was something amazing whilst now, people have hundreds of different rares which just defeats the point of them being "rares".
ha, i remember the day people would say offer and you would get away with saying 2 rares. because they were all similar. now, its "10 dm's, 1 gold icm, with an aqua one etc"
Why are people so excited over a re-direct? Anyone can re-direct a site anywhere... so this could actually mean nothing...
Have you lot ever thought someones posted a url link because they've closed their site lol.
Redirecting a site aint really hard.
Minifriday is fun :-)
I wonder when habbotown.net will become anything..
It's to stop scam sites.
Think about it, somebody created 'Habbo 2' so if they create habbotown.net they can put something like:
"To register your account before the town opens, please enter your old username and password to secure your position!"
Therefore gaining access to your hotel account.
Good find, you never know.
Only the future awaits!
sounds 'citing =D
it would be good to see habbo expand into the xbobx 360/ps2 console markets, with online play, im sure sulake could make something of that
it also mentions on sulake.com that its aquired a social networking site[like myspace] and will plan on releasing it over the world, could this be it?
It does "exist". By exist I mean it's a legitimate video. If it's a currently-existing project is something I don't know. But I do know at one point in time they were working on it.
If its changed to Habbo Town its ruined everything..?
Because Habbo is a hotel.
Interesting find. There is a chance it might be :)
May just be an old site that they registered to stop scam sites, in 04 "Habbotown" may of been a popular 'new' hotel scam.
There's a few other sites sulake own
