YAY thinkhabbo are gone!!!!

[Mrs.McCall]

Yaa, and I just want to add to what you said: how can you threaten to sue for £150, when the sum is decided by the court, not by an individual?

It seems the facts are being a tad muddled in this thread. :s

A claimant can choose the amount to sue for. He basically chooses the price he feels most likely covers the damages (value of his layout). This is then filed to the courts who then decide if that is a fair amount and, in some cases, can increase it.

[Hurts]

Finally, wont get random people coming in my room saying "Think Habbo" anymore

I got a different impression of the video. Considering both the animals in that video are male (I have watched Fox and The Hound), it is interpreted to me as if the fox and the hound love each other with words like "Hold me close" and the fact they are singing when they are on top of each other...

lol kudos to the guy/gal calling themselves HIYA!!! in the shoutbox on that piczo site.....

Basicly it costs a large sum of money to copytight stuff eg logos slogans , layouts , companies pay thousands and also if they did go to court it would be worthless as the sum of money they need to pay the lawyers will be way greater than they will get and also the lwayers will egt a share of the money.

To be brutally honest - that site is a load of *insert nasty words here*. After reading it a number of times, I think I finally understand what the article was trying to say. (Very unprofessional site, and whoever typed that needs a big fat slap?)

Legal mumbojumbo... try me.

Before we go on about this "amagadz, blah blah iz sueing over layout"... I seriously doubt that ThinkHabbo or Ultimative had copyright on the layout. I could be wrong... but so many fansites display the copyright symbol without actually taking any copyright out - which does cost (hence the reason I doubt a fansite without much financial income would copyright part of their content). (Not to mention court costs - the compensation claimed for the breach of copyright wouldn't be enough to cover the expense... so I would assume both parties would lose out.)

Did ThinkHabbo's forum say it complied with the Data Protection Act (1998)? I think not. Very few sites do. Any reputable company (within the UK) will comply by the DPA, such as "Sulake UK Ltd is registered under and adheres to the Data Protection Act (Registration Number Z5263105)." If you were going to slap the whole DPA thing on ThinkHabbo (if it is indeed applicable), it could have been done months ago, and I daresay many more fansites would be eligible for the same treatment. If you do not trust a site with your personal details; don't give them any - simple as ABC.

As far as I see it: Nigel has to pay a substantial fee due to a security compromise on his part. Methinks he's fed up, had enough, and it is getting too costly for him. Am I glad it's closing? Yes - but in the end, it was his decision.

We do have a more pressing issue though:
What's going to happen to ThinkHabbo's listeners? :rolleyes: Where are they going next?!

Now, if anyone would like to explain exactly how legality is being brought into it - I would urge you to do so. Many people threaten legal action without actually being able to carry any out. :eusa_wall

They layout was not ripped. Ultimative/Greg made the layout for ThinkHabbo and we left his link button on the homepage to show that he made it.

Its shut now and I am sure your all happy, a lot arent happy but im sure you heartless people dont give a damn about other people.

HAHA nobody gives a damn about ngay.

Edit: Nkay.* I really must sort out my typing :rolleyes:

Wth, they are open some dj just told listneres to tune in ;/
