I was wondering, under cool rooms theres a retro rooms section, isn't that technically breaking the habbo way, i'm pretty sure fansites aren't allowed to do this are they? I mean, sulake lose proffit because people go on habbo retros, I doubt sulake want people posting there retro rooms on an official fansite? I was just wondering,
please post back and explain :o

You should have put this in feedback for a better response :D
at first, when it said retro rooms I thought it ment like original old rooms, but then I saw loads of retro rooms with custom furni pictures, which is against the sulake rules lol
no... since they don't name the retro website/links so in no way are we physically breaking the habbo way or telling people how to use or go on retros. we also are not encouraging the use of retros and tbh face it even if we deleted that thread it doesn't stop retro users
idk why im even replying at you made a big mistake posting this is spam
but i'd still class that as breaking the fansite way letting other users post there things in fake retros habbos.Quote:

If they are only posting images of a room then it's not really a problem. They aren't advertising the retros and they are also not telling people to go on them either.
Hmm, I don't know... but I think if sulake company came on this, and saw the retro room section, do you think they'd like that at all? lol

Ohwell, doesn't really matter just thought i'd say :o
Well redtiz has viewed this forum many a time and surely she'd have said something otherwise? ;)Quote:

hmm, ok. I just think sulake are quite strict, (not with reports, but stuff like this XD) and I thought they wouldn't exactly agree with this, that's all.
Clearly you are not aware of the amount of staff members who have viewed this forum :LQuote:

An update to this:
These threads are no longer permitted on HabboxForum due to them breaking the Habbo way.
What the ****?Quote:

Yeah the thread has been there since 2007 but we have been requested to take down the thread and also make sure such threads are not allowed to be posted on the forum. Even though it wasn't advertising the retros, it made it aware to the users that there is retros and they could go on them.Quote:

How is that breaking the Habbo way? They're not mentioning any retro names, just posting rooms with furniture. But of course, Sulake only like them to buy their furniture because they're money grabbing *******s.
Did Habbo tell you to remove the thread Matt?
Habbo emailed Habbox telling us to remove the thread ASAP.Quote:

Oh dear, thats really a shame having to remove the thread, is what calvin said allowed?
So they either saw this thread - or the forums biggest **** reported us?Quote:

Shame the thread had to be removed, it had some really unique creations in there!
Any chance of someone making a piczo website or something and adding the pictures to that? :LQuote:

Is the thread available (closed) or hidden away?
Threads are never deleted, I am sure it's just hidden for members. I see no problem though with just renaming the thread really.Quote:

It doesn't, but Sulake do love to make rules up on the spot and cause mischief. It's what they do ;) Hopefully the whole Sulake Empire will crash and burn soon, they're irritating as an organisation.Quote:

Are they allowed to post retro rooms there, considering you can't tell? :)Quote:
