I like most aspects of habbox. I don't like its popularity, mainly because I work/have worked on sites that have never been as popular as habbox. This is out of jealousy yes. Lol.
Also I don't like all the V.I.P stuff. I know it is probbaly to cover the cost of the vBulletin forum. For those of you don't know how much they are, they cost £130 and that is a bit much for webhosting and on a non-proffitable site.

The VIP is an "extra". Yes, it does cover the cost of the forum but also funds the service that habbox provides. This includes the hosting space, bandwidth and domain name.
But anyway, I've got no problem with your opinion, everyone is entitled to theirs

A forum take no effort at all to program. You upload images Create New Catagories and Forums. You can create Permission amrks which shrink the permission for a load of different users permissions.
Why would I waste my money on VIP when you dont really get anything?
Do I look like the sort that wants a frilly name? No, although pink does look good on me *looks around to see if anyone is looking*
A Sub-Forum is worth 0.00p in real life, the board is what costs the money.
10MB Storage is a bit pointless with my 1000MB with G-Mail which is strangely easier to get now-a-days.
I dont have 1 IP, it changes quite alot so I cant really get VIP access to the radio.
My life is boring, why would I want details about myself to bore the whole Habbox Viewers to death?!?
I dont go to boring shows as they bore me to death, so I dont need VIP access to them.
A Help Desk I hope is technical but isnt on Habbox, it is on Habbo. And that isnt really much of a help desk, most the time you have people just go in there to dance and chat which ruins the whole point of Help Desk and annoys people going to the help desk as they can't find their help, they go off to Think Help which kicks people if they cause alot of flood.
I am all for Help Desk staff working there you know whats off and DJ-3000 takes all the credit. When I am in [HxHD] I see Angy and Spectate and aload of other people helping people like mad and Dj-3000 is no where to be seen! And takes all the credit in Ultimate Helper and Habbo 2004. I didn't even know he was a help desk person, i thought he owned the room! Why does Callie always ask DJ-3000 for help? What does he do with her that we aren't told? And how comes i don't see him in HxHD when I am in there quite alot, ask Starshine and Multiple me etc. I chat with them and so on.
The News Team I have a grudge against, they post useless news that people can find if they go on Habbo! Winners of the Talent Show is up on the Habbo Today! Sheesh. Half the time the news isn't interesting and it makes me wonder why Callie always goes to Habbox for News!?!
Getting warnings on Habbox Forum like BlackGardens says is annoying, having bold red writing on the forum and half the time you visit a topic once and only once and you cant see if you have been warned, a PM will be far more better.
If I was anti Habbox, why am I still here? Well, good question, I am planing to leave due to Habbox only wants member to boost their popularity and they dont care about as Jamie4K kindly shown. I am here for tyhe friendly side of it aka Competitions, interesting yet weird people.
What sierk said 'Habbox is at the top of the fansites list for a reason' is snobbish as he is showing self satified superiority which he clearly was, go ask any normal HF Member who was around in that arguement, the fact I stood up for Habbox makes me have second thoughts now.
The radio is quite poor quality, but I guess that is what you would expect with 32kbps and 25kbps sometimes. Some DJ's don't speaking into the mic, you just here them yattering away in the background. Although a Majority of DJ's is extremely well.
Yes it is painful on here, I get stabbed... But I dont find it annoying being here eve if the forum is the route of it all, behind its evil exterior is a Fire Breathing Butterfly that I call a friendly community, helping people is ok on this forum, some are a little bit to mental but it doesn't matter.
And lastly, are you upset that your names aren't up in the list?
Bite him back, I would!Woodeh.
I think Habbox is a bit overated & I don't like the way I have to write in red on a post. Just don't call me a snob!
Sorry Gomme, I have to write it in red or jrh will eat me!Last edited by GommeInc; 08-02-2005 at 09:54 PM.

[sarcasm] Deeply upset my name isn't on the list
It hurts so much [/sarcasm]
You have avoiding many of my points, such as the radio thing. It costs money to run a radio, and unfortunatly for us, jrh isn't a millionaire, and if he is, BUY ME A ROOM OF PETAL PATCHES! *ahem*
It costs money to run THREE different domains/sites, so Habbox Radio can't have the best quality, or else it gets banned (simply).
No one is forcing you to listen, to visit HxHD, post on the forum, buy VIP, anything. Opinions are wanted on the forum, but if your posting the same opinion over and over and over it gets boring.People who deserve a mention:
Janeh JackHB Properclone Spectate Jrh2002
I would add more, but I'm lazy.

Yeah, I did figure it was forum policy not the decision of the mods, and it was the policy that I thought seemed snobbish, not the mods Originally Posted by Woodeh.
