When Funky Friday had real life prizes...

Back in the day... :rolleyes:

Magic Monday is back in a big way. By entering you'll not only be in with a chance to get your hands on some lovely shiny Habbo Credits, but there will be a star prize up for grabs too. And this week's prize is, quite frankly, amazing.

Those lovely peeps at Orange have given us a Nokia 7650. It's an amazing mobile phone that actually takes photos! And you can send the photos to your mates' mobiles. Cool or what?!

Ten runners up will get 50 Habbo Credits each!

And even cooler still (we're talking sub-zero here) - we are launching a Habbo Camera later this year. There's a sneak preview photo on the left - that was taken with a Habbo Camera (bit cheeky, taking it when I was having a bath).

So, how do you enter? Just ring the Magic Monday Competition Line (remember to ask permission first), type in your Habbo ID number and tell us the answer to this question:

What is the star prize in this week's Magic Monday competition?

1. A photo of ione in the bath
2. A Nokia 7650 camera phone
3. 1 Habbo Credit

To be in with a chance of winning, enter your Habbo name in the box below and click the button to recieve your Habbo's ID number.

Call the Magic Monday competition line now for your chance to win:

0901 500 0000 *(calls will cost no more than 25p)

Good luck!

Yeah, Habbo is more, businessy, if that makes sense. Of course, they were a business in the first place, but now it shows more. We see adverts for Habbo all the time, and they're getting main stream celebs to visit, back in the day it was an unpopular chat room, with staff that could go around during working hours just chatting :)

Indeed. I think the Habbohood Happenings played a big part in knowing what happened, and you nearly always got a few articles which put a smile on your face. The Celeb visits would of been more interesting and fun if Habbo still have the sense of humour it did have. Hmmm, Habbo and Habbox both aren't as fun as they used to be it seems :S

Everything pre-Callie was better. The further back you go the better Habbo seems to be, not just staff-wise but also in terms of the people who play it.

I love how the phone 'actually takes photos', shows how old this is. Plus the fact that it's Ione and 'Magic Monday'.

Pfft, nowadays it's only 5 runners up getting 25 credits each. What cheap-skates. :(

I used to like it when ione was running everything. I seldom get on so I don't know what's going on now.

I see, Habbo wants to save money, after all everything is just pixels they give nowadays.

I wonder who won the phone, and if they actually received it.
i know Habbo have been bad in sending out real life prizes. I know recently theyve done better but i remember in the past they rarely used to send off real prizes, even tho there were lots of comps for them :P
Anyone remember the 7 Wonders of Habbo? Not the Around the World thing, this is pre-v9, and ppl made rooms like great wall of china and things like that, anyway the prize was an iPod shuffle and i believe the winner never got it? :P He was protesting for ages saying that he had spent loads of credits on the room :P

On the topic of real life prizes not being given out and as it is Kardan's thread, have you heard anything about your trip to Iceland yet?

I think Funky Friday's are just ridiculous now, they change half the prizes you send in, you only get 25 credits for being a runner-up compared to the old 50, and when I wrote a Funky Friday once, they only sent half the prize. I entered 2 yellow ambers, 2 red and 2 blue and they advertised it as that as well, but me and the winner only got 1 of each amber lamp, complete farce xD - It probably against the law to advertise the prize as that and not even give it out fully as advertised. They seem to know they can get away with it as we're kids and can't do anything :S

I agree with the HHH being interesting, funny and knowledgeable, you could have a right laugh and learn lots of stuff about Habbo and you got a typewriter if your article was accepted.
