woooooo well done :D
well done im so happy for them and glad powertoo chose the right choice out of the 5!
not sure how much trust can be put into that shortlist, seeing as habbo wiki wasn't listed, but it got 2/3 right so!
Well done.
Habbo Wikia shouldn't be on at all, I've already said they steal and copy off of Habbox. I don't get how a Wiki can be a fansite though?
Meh, fansites are past it. Let's be honest, there have only ever been a few fansites worth visiting and that is more true than ever now.
I don't get why HabboCreation went for official on .com - Aren't they all based in .nl? Meaning essentially they can do nothing on .com except be official. Unless they get matt (Jendro) to do everything for them.
Very poor decisions.
1) HabboKingdom is currently down. No surprise there.
2) HabboKingdom was recently hacked and the passwords were in plain text.
3) Owners (at least the domain owner) of HabboKingdom are regulars on a well known hacking site with a Habbo section.
4) Habbo Wikia copies from Habbox Wiki.
5) Habbo Wikia was not on the short list so no feedback could be given.
6) HabboCreation is not ran by people who actively play .COM
7) New fansites ran by 'influential' users on .COM were overlooked (HabboFest and HabboLicious)
Mine are all based on facts. Unlike Vado et al. Very poor and caved into pressure from others. Which is not what I want nor expect from Powertoo.
honestly, the owners of habbox rarely play .com at all so I don't know how this can really be a point. Habbox is run fine without them playing it, too xPQuote:

Compare this to HabboCreation: http://habbocreation.com/about they have five staff.
On Habbocreation homepage there is a language on their HOME PAGE that isn't even English, sigh.
Aye you don't need to talk to me like I'm ******ed.Quote:

That's without properly looking, I'm mainly picking up on these because most of the information would probably be harder to get hold of unless you were in the campaign.
I know Habbo Wikia has stolen Habbox Rare Values before, which we put a stop to luckily.
It's just a bit odd when we've been accused of copying before.
It'll be nice to see these fansites in action, however, some are getting special treatment :rolleyes:.
I didn't explain any of my points in full detail. I thought most people on here knew a relative amount about fansites. Being a Habbox user yourself (even though relatively new) I thought you'd fully grasp the idea that Habbox has 100+ volunteers that run the site and the owners are pretty much redundant. Clearly I was wrong to expect anyone to be able to put 2 and 2 together.Quote:

Hey there. Just to clear some stuff up, the pages you mentioned in your post were added by a new contributor, he probably didn't understand the way of the wiki at that time. Sorry for any inconvenience. If you find any more copies please feel free to post them. I'll get on changing up those pages a bit.Quote:

Yeah, Proms is internet dating aged 24, the owner of the biggest Blackmarket site on Habbo and yet criticises others for doing what her deeply beloved does.
It shouldn't be visitors jobs to tell you what pages are copied. The site should be moderated before posting stuff that isn't theirs.Quote:

So, only 3 fansites made it?
proms is definitely the biggest hypocrite and immaturity levels for her are on a high.
she thought she'd be funny and snapchat me a pic of the official fansites quoting jealous then block me so i couldn't respond. and people have been quoting her talking about me to everyone.
also she removed two people today because they wouldn't give her the badge for got game
i think she's obsessed with me and i should put like a restraining order on her!
So lame, HabboKingdom's layout was alright, but minus Habbox/Puhekupla/HFFM/HabbCrazy/TH/PotentiallyHFEST+HabboSecretsinthefuture i don't see why anymore fansites bother.
saw this on HKforum..

IMO, HabboKingdom is decent but it's basically what HFFM and ThisHabbo was (more or less the same layout) 2years ago.
The thing is, most regular contributors know what their doing. We do moderate it, just don't have to time to check ALL edits against every Habbo wiki out there. If someone feels like something isn't right, they should step up and get it corrected. That's what the wiki format is all about.Quote:

So basically you all do nothing while people contribute without being moderated? Lol... great job.Quote:

However, you'd think that a little bit of research would have gone in to these sites that were chosen. The fact alone that the wiki site copies Habbox is quite shameful as the owner of that site tried to claim that we copied Hffm. *laughs* at least there was SOME satisfaction today. I truly hope that next time around there is more thought put in to which sites receive official status.Quote:

I mean at Habbox Wiki do they check every contribution against our wiki or HabboHut's wiki? I don't think so :s
No because the people probably do the work themselves instead of slacking and doing nothing. If your moderation was so good they would do a backlog and check everything or updated it for betting information instead of 1 sentence for most of the pages.Quote:

However, I will admit some pages might be better at Habbo Wikia, but not many and yes I do check. Habbo Hut's Wiki I don't believe is that good and has random pages, so I avoid going on it mainly.Quote:

Agreed. I think it's a shame. However, what I think has happened is that Powertoo has bowed to pressure put on her by some of the fansite community and decided not to go with new and smaller communities and let them grow. People would have been angry if you and HabboFest got official just because you're new. What they can't see is that your site and HabboFest are ran by people who are already putting on events for the .COM community. I haven't seen HabboCreation do that at all. Everything on their site seems to mention foreign hotels more than .COM.Quote:

We contribute to our own wiki... It's just that sometimes, other people want to contribute too, and sometimes, these contributions aren't as constructive as we hope they would be. Also Samanfa only mentioned about two pages she found. Two pages copied doesn't automatically mean horrible moderation/slacking off moderators. Of course, if she found A LOT more that happened recently, then it would probably be a problem.Quote:

I was very wrong, it's a battlefield and apparently new sites are looked down upon in the fansite community. Powertoo clearly doesn't seem to realize by handing fansites that do nothing what they want they will proceed to do nothing. Meh!Quote:

How are we going to backlog through over 100k edits, over 25k pages, and check over 12k images :l
Like I said before, it's not that we slack, it's just that it's not really that productive.

Yes but the way she worded it was that we set up something to steal EVERYTHING new added to Habbox.Quote:
