Sulake cracking down on VIP

[Favourtism]

Release all the different VIPs out from now until december 1st with options to purchase up to 2 years. People might pay lots as it's the last chance to get it?

[kk.]

What i don't understand is how they have it in their intentiont that they can close unofficial sites aswell! Under what grounds can they do that? Do they feel like fansites are getting all their money or something?

they will no doubt be using habbo images so they could contact the host saying they are using copyrighted material. as they breached the terms of use

That is actually a great idea lol, but I doubt Habbo would allow us to show who donated by "publishing" their name on the forum in different colours.

They would have to change their wording and rules if you did it this way thouggh maybe they donate to habbox.com and you will list them on there and also highlight their name to a colour of their choice from a list on hxf. I wouldnt go asking for clarification from habbo i would just do whats not against their rules and then make them amend them again and again.

I would consider running the forum as a seperate teen site as suggested and just keep habbox.com as habbo related. you could link to a teen site forum if u wished im sure? if not that do it using the banner for advertising as habbo says thats ok.

Personally I would resign as official and go back to posting strong stories even if negative to sulake they never managed to close hx when it was going on back in the good old days lol they are to big for their boots and need exposing for what they really are.

I am so glad you are going to get legal advice they are not dealing with pushovers when it comes to hx I also like the idea of servers in countries where they have no powers at all and then you could even taunt them a little.

I've read up to page 20 and I will continue to read the rest of the pages in a moment.

I just wanted to say a couple of things... firstly, HabboxForum can't exploit loopholes. If one is found, Sulake will say that it's not allowed. The donation ideas, etc. are out of the window.

Secondly, I wanted to point something out. The scripting forums/sites contain many Habbo images (in posts, avatars, signatures and site banners), and I imagine that Sulake try to close them down a lot (as they're totally breaking the Habbo Way and ToS), however they haven't had legal action bought upon them, nor have they been closed.

HxF needs the money from V.I.P. to stay up - sure there's money atm, but in 6 months or so it'll become pretty hard to keep it up without a decent source of income, because advertisements aren't a great source. Also, I imagine that quite a few members will miss the V.I.P. features, I know I will. Sure, we can buy loads now to last us a lifetime, but I might not want to buy any for two months because I'll be away...

Just my thoughts on the subject; not much can be done. The only proper way to get it sorted would be to convince Sulake to change it's mind on the matter, which will be hard. The standing up to Sulake wont get very far, but good idea anyway.

I think if sulakes name morals and business practice were called into question in the media it will cause them alot more damage and they will lose alot more money than worrying over a few fansites taking 0.0000001% of their revenue. There are a few people currently digging out and dusting down a few of the big things from the past that will help discredit such a big organisation so dont think its all over just yet

I am very touched to see so many people complaining and supporting us

I think we first need to find out what the reason is behind this sudden change in policy, and wether it is Habbo UK or sulake headquarters behind it. Then we also know who we have to address about it.

Of course it is good to organise protests against it, but don't do anything illegal as they might blame Habbox for it.

I will get some legal advice to find out what exactly our position is in all this. But in any case if we can't work it out with Sulake in a friendly way we might lose our official status which would be a shame, considering how long it took us to get it lol.

Btw perhaps somebody can come up with a good way for us to make some (or a lot ) of extra money, then it doesn't matter if we sell vip or give it for free.

I know this might be off subject (hint hint) but some people buy thrones on Habbo and sell them again for more than they payed for making a profit. Obviously I am not suggesting that Habbox do this. :eusa_whis
