The Habbo Spotlight?

You know a while ago on the Homepage, Habbo started The Habbo Spotlight where a "random" Habbo is displayed each time you refresh the page? This is what it says:

Quote:

We're taking sneaky photos of random Habbos and making them famous by placing them right here on the Habbo homepage.

Well, people used to criticise it but I found some proof that it is in fact not random at all. Firstly, I tried using the URL of a current one to search my own Habbo name. There isn't an image for it. It is infact one whole image (background and Habbo) which they have obviosuly made.

This was one I saw:

http://images.habbohotel.co.uk/c_ima...t/CrazyCat.gif

But the URL has shortened the name meaning that they aren't even planning to create any more than they already have done (CrazyCat has been used in the URL for this therefore the real "CrazyCat" will not have one).

http://images.habbohotel.co.uk/c_ima...t/CrazyCat.gif
Change the name at the end of this URL to your own Habbo name to see if you have one created :).

Just a little observation ;).

Too much time on your hands?

haha nah im kidding,
Thats kinda true I guess, they probably just make them every so often...
although it does mean that somebodie called CrazyCat would not be able to have one as the .:CrazyCat:. has been given the URL instead...
although they may just call it CrazyCat2 as the .: probably confuses the URL.

My point is that the whole thing is a tad pointless and a waste of time :).

I think he means that if a .:CrazyCat:. has been displayed, CrazyCat will not be displayed? lol

Habbo staff have already commented about this, they randomly pick a Habbo out of the database and create an image for them.

I'm sure that is what I said yes :).

Wouldn't a better way to do this be to have the background set on the page permanently and have a script that inserts a Haboo Home profile name and image (like those sigs people have)?
