????! why does habbox have a former fansite's url
some of us at chf (rip) were just curious
So that former club habbo members know where to come for the best fansite around!
Due to Matt having a hobby of collecting dead Fansites to redirect to Habboxforum.com
When domain names come available to buy by the general public anyone is allowed to buy it and use that domain name for whatever purpose they have with it. In this case it is being redirected to another website.
The CH Remnant was just curious, no need to be so defensive.
The main thing they've taken offense over is the comic sans script that appears for adblocker users.
I'm not angry, just disappointed Habbox
How are you disappointed? Like Matt said anyone can use the domain if it's not already taken. It's rather playing a game to get new members.Quote:

Hi i'm here what did I miss?
Edited by Bikini (Trialist Forum Moderator): Please avoid useless posting please. Thanks
The Club Habbo URLS are still in my suggested sites. Happens when you visited it so often during its run. Don't visit much sites that start with C anymore, so accidents may happen.Quote:

I've already mentioned your displeasure in the comic sans.Quote:

Could have bought a few freddos with that I mean cmon
I'm 99pcnt sure it's the only ex-fansite URL they own and yeah I'm sure people visiting a dead forum like CH gives Habbox loads of traffic.
God help me anyone on the internet can buy a domain no longer in use? What is this... oh right common sense yeah :)
They seem a lot more defensive over this than we do offended. A lot more.
Ironic considering he just called it sad buying a domain and you started the thread..
Idk in this climate? Maybe a handful of refreshers and some good chunk of drumsticksQuote:

I didn't start the thread I just wanted join the fun and be a part of the best habbo fansite around but ended up here
If it upsets you that much we can always redirect it to a porn site to make sure you get some pleasure.
It is sad, and we were curious for answers.Quote:

Comparing domain names to dead people - That's new.
Any company that has ever purchased a domain and redirected it to their own site is sad then by your logic.Quote:

The difference being that Facebook has already urls like fb.me, which is already related to its name. ClubHabboForum was completely separate to HabboxForum in all accounts.Quote:

ClubHabbo was a fansiteQuote:

What a crime
It wasn't the last time I looked :P. I just come across them when I use WayBack.Quote:

You are all welcome to create and participate within the habbox community if you've been rejected elsewhere :)
Many older members around here have used chf in the past and so it makes some sense to redirect to habbox on the off chance that somebody might want to reconnect with chf members by typing the URL.
