WOOOOOOOOO. Fantastic news! :D
oh yay! :D About time they sorted that out. Hopefully the bans will stop now. :P We're top of the list too! :D
Good news for habbox, HFFM doesn't seem to be official any more? :O
http://www.habbosoup.net/ lol what
I'm sure this is just a list of all/most fansites rather than official ones like the old system?
Just sent a CFH regarding haboosh but if I get a reply it should help explain wt the list is for :P

Getting together in one Hotel also means having a lot more Fansites!
We are so happy to announce that we will be keeping all our beloved Fansites from around the world! We truly believe that the Fansites help bring Habbos together and make our community even better, and we're very proud to have such a wide variety of active and fun Fansites.
Not so interested in the gory details? Then go check out the Fansites by scrolling to the bottom of this article, or head on over to the Fansite Group Page »
FANSITE DETAILS:
First of all, we want to extend our sincerest apologies to the Official Fansite owners that were banned over the past week for promoting their sites on .COM. We are all very sorry. It will not happen again, and all bans have been overturned.
Since we wanted to keep all the Fansites that had official status already, we ended up with quite a long list. Seing as we didn't want to make any cuts to the list, some changes had to be made in other ways:
* Since we are moving away from having a small list of Official Fansites, towards a long list of Fansites, we will no longer be able to endorse Fansites with articles and prizes.
* Fansites listed on the Fansite Group Page, will be able to promote their own sites freely on our website and in the Hotel.
* We aim to grow the list of Fansites within the next month or so, at which point we will post an article on how you can submit a site that is not already on the list.
- Hotel Staff
What is with that site lmao?Quote:

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
It's no longer called 'OFFICIAL' fansites. Just fansites.

I got a reply to my CFH which said they advise against visiting websites other Habbos give out, which does not answer my question. I've asked again and will post here if they answer it!
EDIT
At post above, that's what I thought.
EDIT
A mod said that fansites not on that list can be advertised now as well.
Who the hell is HabCrazy? haha
Good to see they have updated the list ;)
habcrazy is a american fansite, its been around for like agesssss x]
Wait, so there's no 'official' fansites, and fansites aren't allowed to suggest that they are official?

Nice to see that this has been sorted now. Least we can advertise now without getting banned.
I know, I own it!Quote:

HabboSoup.net shouldn't be there lol
So basically, there is no official sites anymore, they are just developing a big list of Habbo fansites.
It does look like that, they haven't really explained it that well in regards of that. They should of added an FAQ to it. :PQuote:

HabboSoup is now www.habbosoup.org apparently
went from .net to .me to .org
lol yayay but hffm isn't :')
Does this mean if Habbo aren't affiliated with fansites then we're not affiliated with Habbo thus we can sell VIP? I doubt it.Quote:

Un-official fansites still have to abide by it as there is the affiliation with Habbo etc but now it seems that they dont want that now.
There are 15 on the official list. I mean seriously? That's not a very long list in my opinion.Quote:

It's a bit confusing although their rules still say we can not sell VIP. It just seems it a list of a fansites at the moment?
Oh yes, that's Grigs site. xDQuote:

They never did anyways.Quote:

It is highly beneficial for Habbox to be at the top of the list. Promote the forum well on top of Habbox.com
Secondly, people fail to realise that selling VIP has nothing to do with being official or being unofficial. You have to follow the fansite rules and in return Habbo let you use their images which are copyrighted.
I noticed that as well, perhaps they realised we're the best (H)Quote:

I think after a while 'Official Fansites' will come back. They will compile this huge list of Fansites and then get us to vote who we think is the best to become the official ones.
this is stupid i think lol. . . they say these sites are official but yet they have made mistakes in them -.- like habbcrazy.net na even hffm arent official. . its weird lol
How much did you pay them to be put at the top of the list?
it's http://www.Habbosoup.org ;)Quote:
