Why not make a new forum that's created specifically for teenagers and not a habbo community? The reason is because if you do that, all the people who get older won;t leave as the forum then isn't as childish.

I wouldn't say that the forum community is actually that childish. Compared to most other teen forums HabboxForum is really sensable. :)
The name puts off young adults, plus its specifically designed for habbo.Quote:

Like I would still use it if I quited Habbo but I would of never started using it if I had never played Habbo.Quote:

No, because this forum was created for the use of Habbo's, it's already grown into use for other people! It would be stupid to change it. There would be like 200 staff members left to do nothing :P
Half of the forum is non-Habbo :S Feedback, Entertainment, Games, Technology, Discuss Other and VIP forums are all non-Habbo... The name isn't much of a problem (HabboxForum), people still use it regardless of the name. Even though it was suggested ages ago Habbox makes new forum skins and avatars with HxF in places, rather than "Habbox Forum" so the appeal is a bit less Habbo like, but that was put down because of the annoying image which makes Habbox official :P

If you want too, Why don't YOU pay for a forum, and PAY for the hosting, and also PAY for the domain.
And when you've PAID for all that, maybe some people will join.
If I've got this straight... you want a brand new, empty forum, with no community, aimed at teens, instead of joining an established teen forum? I'm really struggling to comprehend the thought process here.

And half the forum is non-Habbo related, there's like 2 sections of the this forum dedicated to Habbo (Habbo & Trading).
Basically, You say it best... When you say nothing at all!!
(Aimed at thread starter there.)
While yes there is a non-Habbo community here, the main draw is the Habbo users. 99% of the users played Habbo at one point. However, they choose to stay on at HabboxForum even after they quit Habbo. A teen-based forum would not have an influx of users and therefore it would eventually die. Plus, Habbox is based around Habbo, though we provide services for you guys we are aimed at providing a place for the Habbo community.
Quit with the PAID, nothing is free in this world. I know it will come at a price.Quote:

Nah. this actually is a habbo forum, with teenage stuff.
Although I'd love for your idea to go ahead, it wouldn't be fair on the people who still use Habbo. I remember in 2005 when I still used Habbo regularly, there was a non-Habbo community on the forum back then. I’d have been gutted if the forum got made a non-Habbo forum back then so, I'm sure the Habbo community that use the forum today would feel the same way. It isn’t fair on them, we've had our time, now let them have there's. :P
I used to feel childish using a Habbo forum but I don’t really care now because, we have things like the non-Habbo dark skin and you can just minimize the Habbo category's (if you want to).
