What they changed?

[Geraint]

Uh oh. VIP.

[Immenseman]

VIP has been there for ages although I have a feeling (just a feeling) they are going to begin to enforce it soon.

[Restack]

seems like clubhabboforum and habboxforum will have to stop the vip system

[jackass]

This VIP thing seems a bit of a pickle...

[TopManTim]

Habboxforum is fine, it can keep on charging as habbox is official and they have now removed all links from the site to the forum. Making the forum seperate.

But for forum fansites like habbos.net it's bad mnews and lead to their closure (well was a factor I do believe).

[OhLiam]

Tim it says for official and un-official habbo fansites though?

[toxic]

^But Habbox Forum isn't an official or un-official fansite, it's a habbo related forum .

As long as it's not related to The Habbox Website then i don't see why it should matter anyway.. there are alot worse forums/websites out there.
