With the new hotel merges, official fansites will no longer exist :(
How can you be sure immenseman? :O
naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa jake they will, theyll just be like... god itll be warfare.
I think all the cool UK fansites should merge together to make a super fansite!
get on the dog and bone to skaterchu to see what he thinks of thatQuote:

I don't think fansites will cease to exist, it will be a challenge for all though, especially with regards to rare values.
But for events etc, I see this as a new adventure for fansites.
no ben dont be silly lol
im sure they could still be fansites lol just not offical if habbo wont want any
check habbo in general i posted yday, don't believe me if you don't wna!
fansites won't close... just won't be official fansites
I'm sure they'll still have official sites in some way.
i hate the fact you called it so well LOLQuote:

I guarantee 100% they won't but ok lol.
Maybe not initially you're right about thatQuote:

LOL true, its just gonna be like... Habbox trying to sell itself to other countries. I think if anything, fansites will benefit alot (and some wont since theyll be so crap) cuz theyll get more users from diff countries.Quote:

Yeah I think it could be beneficial for events, the help desk, competitions & the forum.
It's rare values who are gonna have to start from scratch though and try to win over 3/4 of a hotel they don't cater for.
they will have no official fansites but that doesn't mean they won't exist. sulake don't care, the client will have 50,000 people on and is always going to be busy... they've proven time and time again they don't care for fansites.
jake please stay on hxf i actually miss your company xDQuote:

Okay so I'll be the first to admit it's not ideal for us as a fansite. Nevertheless I think, if played correctly, this could be hugely beneficial. It's a challenge that Habbox should and will embrace. When you think about it we already have a dedicated fanbase and with a merger of such major hotels we could be looking at a massive influx of new members not only to the forum but to all of our fansites. Whether or not the chances of official status remains, we will continue to operate as a dedicated fansite not only for Habbo UK but for this new super-Habbo, or whatever you want to call it.
I think if we do a good job we can continue to be an immensely strong fansite that will continue to do well. If we go about it the right way, this could even extend Habbox's, and all the other fansites', shelf life! Sulake have obviously realised they need to change with the times and we will need to do so too.
The users of Habbox helped make Extremehabbo official so I guess what ever happens they will stick with us through all of this.
If Habbox can work really hard at doing millions of events, giveaways, more official popular rooms etc then this could be an amazing chance for Habbox. It could become a HUGE site.
Best way to do it would be to go around really popular rooms, like casino etc and get them to have Habbox in their room name or description and in return but a Banner on the Habbox site to help them get popular too. You can then branch out to popular USA rooms and so on and so forth, get Habbox more coverage, it'll need loads to survive.
Exactly my thoughts, no need to panic - just embrace it and work through the problemsQuote:

They will prob just take the 2 gold fansites from each country like what Ben said. If they do this Habbox should be fine *fingers crossed*. :)
I think, on the whole, it'd have more advantages to Habbox rather than disadvantages as long as we get through the awkward first stages of the change. :)
A word of advice I think would be to try and get connection with 'foreign' hotels NOW. Like casinos and stuff show off habbox and try and get them to start advertising us now. Then it won't be as bigger shock for international users.
mmmmmm new users which means some of them might be hot
lets hope clubhabbo doesnt get them :@
why aren't you on your own forum immenseman?
oh wait.
Link me? I'll have a go at replicating.Quote:

when u hover its so cool
and their website is a nice and tidy design
^^ Why would you replicate the Habbo USA rare values. Everything is still fuzzy in terms of whether furniture will be connected through the hotel or the values. But yeh all in all it could actually serve us quite well at the end of the day.
Talking about the design and use.Quote:

I think the Rare Values Department will need to be on standby to start changing the rare values according to how they change in the merger. It will need to be done promptly and Habbox will need to have a massive advertising drive to assert itself as the best resource for rare values on the new Hotel. Of course I am sure the RVD will start planning for it anyway :)
I don't think they'll scrap habbo fansites, most of the habbo users only use habbo because of a fansite - and if they did get rid of fansites I think they'd soon bring them back, also imo they'll just look habbo staff will just not mention fansites as much in news such as fansite fortnight will probably be stopped if it happened and stuff like that would be stopped, not the whole fansite idea and plus they won't close them, they can't think of the cost of the sites the owners won't just stop.
haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaQuote:
