My grammar isn't great, but even I can see obvious flaws with this one. Also there's no need for two line breaks between the paragraphs.

Well look at you Mr. Recursion, Head of English :P It is a bit odd that there is a distinct lack of grammar. Did HotelUser write it in a hurry? I assume it was him as he's the one heavily supporting the petition. It does make the forum look a bit untidy too. I would be happy with bigger writing, and a bold link to the petition page as that draws in viewers. Writing a life story of Habbo is just going to put people off to be honest :P Short and sweet.Quote:

It's nothing major, but I'm sure this will be corrected soon. I think David did the notice last night.
I think the petition is mainly because quite a few people care about the cause, and its something topical which has caused a bit of uproar on Habbo.
Personally I don't think it's going to do much, since I think Habbo won't be changing it anytime soon, however I guess it's good to see how much support the content team and David can gather on this- the advertising has certainly been good etc.
My thoughts exactly :PQuote:

Perhaps the lack of Volter font has effected HotelUser in such a way that it has rendered him useless to correct grammar :)
Yeah I think that's mainly it, although I heard somewhere it was to do with technical reasons too and that it had to be removed for future updates or something, but idk. I think it's just nostalgia for a lot of people since that font was a part of them for so long.Quote:

I apologise for the crap quality of this notice, it was quite frankly appalling and met no conventions were met in regards to our standard method of setting up notices. The Forum Manager has removed the notice and will more than likely re-make it later properly.
It isn't an issue, it just seems a bit strange - isn't Habbos ideology that all Official Fansites should agree with absolutely everything they think :L (Only kidding).. Also on that argument, I think we would need a petition for absolutely everything - GET RID OF MARKETPLACE!!! :PQuote:

I did notice, but it didn't really change my life so I chose to ignore it.
A couple of grammar mistakes, but seriously its not something thats going to effect anyone by much?
Would it please you Tom to know that I wrote all this on Windows? I blame all these problems on Windows!Quote:

Possibly!Quote:

I originally made a poll in the Habbo General section to see how people thought about Volter out of interest. I thought about doing the petition the other night and I set out coding it (all in one late night/early morning sitting actually so I best check the Volter petition page for English problems too in a moment). If you like the new font better then by all means don't sign the petition. But a lot of people do prefer Volter over the Ubuntu font and they are more than welcome to sign.Quote:

How well is it doing?
It gets the community involved and for once sulake can hear our thoughts, to staff the change isn't going to be significant but to those who have been playing since 2001, they're the ones who will feel the change. For me, ever since the update I haven't really logged in as much, it sounds stupid but to me it's a huge change and I feel they're trying to fix something that isn't broke. I actually think its great that habbox aren't just sitting back and nodding their head. It's nice to see a popular fansite disagree in a habbo update now and then, it shows sulake that all their decisions aren't great and they need to slow down, relax and think things through.Quote:

So in my opinion, props to David.
Well no, but Habbox staff want to look professional, which they won't do with silly mistakes like this :PQuote:

There has already been a 'petition' about the font changing by Puhekupla, and they received an official answer from Sulake explaining exactly the reason for the change;

That is a very good article/reply to it.Quote:
