Wow, HabbCrazy looks farmiliar....

Oh dear, this has been one active thread.

I must admit they look quite similar, indeed. Firstly the backgrounds are the same. The colours of the two layouts are similar yes but not the exact same. The placing of the sub boxes are the same as well. Notice how Navigation is first, followed by DJ of the week and a radio player. Each website has a photo looking banner at the top too. The main content box starts off by saying, "Welcome to sitename," on both websites, furthermore beside that is a similar box. The title of each page is Sitename >> slogan. The same font size was used, as well as style, on the navigation, which uses the same style of buttons. Each site contains a tick tack toe game (which are the same) and a love calculator under community. The background page under community has the exact same backgrounds. Probably more similar things are here too. Both websites use frame navigation.

On the source code side, they were sliced differently, however both sites start off with this code,
[html]<script type="text/javascript">

var preloaded = new Array();
function preloadImages() {
for (var i = 0; i < arguments.length; i++){
preloaded[i] = document.createElement('img');
preloaded[i].setAttribute('src',arguments[i]);
};
};
preloadImages(
'images/advertisements/newhc.gif',
'images/advertisements/habbcrazyhomes.gif'

);

var links = new Array(
'cutenews/show_news.php?subaction=showfull&id=1205624895&tem plate=updates',
'cutenews/show_news.php?subaction=showfull&id=1205624895&tem plate=updates'

);

var text = new Array(
'Welcome to the New Version of HabbCrazy.NET!',
'HabbCrazy Homes - Coming <b>Monday 17th March</b>!'

);

var curOffset = 1;

window.onload=function() {
document.getElementById('randLink').href = links[0];
document.getElementById('randImage').src = preloaded[0].src;
document.getElementById('randText').innerHTML = text[0];
setInterval(
function() {
document.getElementById('randLink').href = links[curOffset];
document.getElementById('randImage').src = preloaded[curOffset].src;
document.getElementById('randText').innerHTML = text[curOffset];
curOffset = (curOffset >= preloaded.length-1) ? 0 : curOffset + 1;
}, 10000);
};
</script>

The documentation of both website's source is the same sort of stye, it's very organized.

<!-- Example -->

I'm not a fan off any of these websites, in-fact this was the first time I've been on CH's website in a while now, as for HabboCrazy I remember a website called that from 2003, I'm not sure if they're the same. Anyhow, I wouldn't be able to guess who copied who, or if this is just generic information and standards every fan site follows. If Habbo Crazy copied Club Habbo, they did do a better job on the layout, but that doesn't make it right.


On a side-note, Microsoft copied many ideas from other companies, (such as Apple) and with much of the copied material, made improvements. Does it make it right? I don't think so, and the courts will resolve the Microsoft issues in time, though with over 60 legal cases it will take a long time to unravel. I don't know who copied who with Habbo Crazy, but if they did copy Club Habbo it was wrong, but improvements were made to the layout if so.

That's just my $00.02!

Everyone needs to grow the hell up and get over this gay hate for clubhabbo, i couldn't care less about any habbo fansite but it just gets on my nerves how everyone apparently hates them..

[L!nK..]

Hmm...ever since I've joined Habbo and began trading an such I would just go to Habbox.com to get the rare values, then when I got bored of playing Habbo hotel I would go over on Habbox Forum, or listen to Habbox Radio. I have no negitive views on other fansites at all to be totally honest, I've just been using Habbox for 5 years and it's done the job for me. I remember older fansites, Habboom being a big one, but it's gone now, I think they tried to bring it back but I don't believe it worked. Another one people would use was impetuous run by the Hobba Impetuous. I remember HabboGlobe taking it over but then nothing more. Also YourHabbo.co.uk might be the old MyHabbo.co.uk, but I'm not sure. I think Habbox's age is certainly unique. Is there a fansite older than Habbox?

[Chaad]

Nope

i ment it looks more similar to that but not the current, at the end of the day you cant accuse fansites of ripping from others unless its blatently clear!
thats like saying habbo.co.uk ripped from google because they had a logo?
seriously get over it, all images actually belong to sulake and you cannot own shapes made on paint therefore you cant rip layouts unless its 100% clear they did

[MrCraig]

Nice layout jack

[DJ-Cookie]

alot of you are jealous of clubhabbo tbh its a rip

[Daphne,]

LOL. Even the waving hands.
That's border line pathetic, not to mention disrespectful.
Oh well, it's always going to happen I suppose.

[InvisibleMan]

They make it look nicer though...

An edit; i looked at the imitation again- i find it nicer to look at to be completely honest. As similar as they may be, Clubhabbo should give them a taste;p
