My friend sent me a link to the old hobba applications, step 1 is so simple, they also used to ask for your password???
How things changed, back then was it normal? lol

I remember i faked my age when i applied to be a hobba, think i only literally just registered so not surprised it got declined straight away
What do you mean application password? It's asking for your account one lol
i thought you had to be over 18!
same :(Quote:

Not when the scheme first started, you could literally be any age as there was no official check; could pretend to be your brother!Quote:

It was 16, but raised to 18 at a later date. I remember a slightly later Hobba application, where it didn't ask you for your password and it asked for your address in the first stage, that was also the very first Habbo eXpert application form :)
What did the first eXpert application process look like?Quote:

When this was around I was to young to see this going on. Wish I paid more attention now tbh :/
The hobba age limit was 16+ until a Habbo-addicted hobba (Forget her name) failed here exams due to spending all her time moderating the hotel...
After this happened Habbo raised the age to 18+
- Alex (Shenk).
Since Habbo started in 2001Quote:
