    Default When are notifications going to be checked for grammar?

    My grammar isn't great, but even I can see obvious flaws with this one. Also there's no need for two line breaks between the paragraphs.

    Well look at you Mr. Recursion, Head of English It is a bit odd that there is a distinct lack of grammar. Did HotelUser write it in a hurry? I assume it was him as he's the one heavily supporting the petition. It does make the forum look a bit untidy too. I would be happy with bigger writing, and a bold link to the petition page as that draws in viewers. Writing a life story of Habbo is just going to put people off to be honest Short and sweet.

    May I also question why Habbox is having an official petition for such a thing?

    It's nothing major, but I'm sure this will be corrected soon. I think David did the notice last night.

    I think the petition is mainly because quite a few people care about the cause, and its something topical which has caused a bit of uproar on Habbo.

    Personally I don't think it's going to do much, since I think Habbo won't be changing it anytime soon, however I guess it's good to see how much support the content team and David can gather on this- the advertising has certainly been good etc.

    I just think people need to get used to it.

    The new font (Ariel, is it?) is far more modern in appearance, which is obviously Habbo's aim.

    Perhaps the lack of Volter font has effected HotelUser in such a way that it has rendered him useless to correct grammar



    There's another shooting today, and this one was bad
    I'm glad that we all hope and pray, but it takes more than that
    We've been trying, we've been crying
    Hoping that they will do more than keep lying
    I need to believe that people can change
    Or else this life has all been in vain
    What's the point of fighting if we're fighting for a lie?

    Yeah I think that's mainly it, although I heard somewhere it was to do with technical reasons too and that it had to be removed for future updates or something, but idk. I think it's just nostalgia for a lot of people since that font was a part of them for so long.

    I don't think questioning why we're having the petition is too much of an issue - afterall a lot of people seem to dislike this so, why not? If anything it will show us the sort of "power" Habbox has still, not if can get anything done but the number of signatures we get in the amount of time will be a clear indicator of who listens to/supports Habbox.

    I apologise for the crap quality of this notice, it was quite frankly appalling and met no conventions were met in regards to our standard method of setting up notices. The Forum Manager has removed the notice and will more than likely re-make it later properly.

    It isn't an issue, it just seems a bit strange - isn't Habbos ideology that all Official Fansites should agree with absolutely everything they think :L (Only kidding).. Also on that argument, I think we would need a petition for absolutely everything - GET RID OF MARKETPLACE!!!

    It isn't an issue though, and could turn out to be good marketing on Habboxs' behalf.
