VIP Membership (New Extra's)

[Alkaz]

Habboxforum is still a Habbo fansite so it must abide by the official rules set out by Habbo.
But ye, what your saying would be offering a premium service again which has been said already and isnt aloud no more. Encouraging people to buy Donator or w.e because of the benefits over not having it.

I actually laughed at this thread.

So basically, the forum removed buying VIP due to Habbo not allowing it, and replaced it with Donator, which comes with minimal features, as they are allowed. But what you're saying is, you want to add all the VIP features (and more?!) to the current donator, even though Habbo doesn't allow it in the first place?

I can see your logic here buddy!

No merchandiceing rule killed my original thought.

Is there an expanded version of exactly whats meant be premium features at all within the discussion forums on there? i dont appear to have access to view em.

If you mean the 'fansite way'

On a personal note I wonder what benefits a site has being official these days.

Zilch. None. Zero. Nill. Geen. (and just translate 'none' into however many languages there are and you have my point).

Being official is nothing, just a word - a label. Habbo was better when they allowed fansites to be regular fansites AND got them involved in events. I don't see why Habbox even bothered fighting to be official, tis aload of bull frog if you ask me.

Pointing out exploits and loop-holes in Habbos rules doesn't do anything, they'll get a fansite closed down for any old reason. They're anti-competitive and don't play by the book If there was a way to sell VIP and not advertise it per say, they'll still get in contact getting all huffy and stupid, as with the current Sulake/Habbo management

Erm basically in their email to us it said people should donate just to donate and not get anything back. They expressly permitted colored usernames usertitles and avatars as these were "display items" that "recognized the donator".

I know, the logic is shaky and based on that logic we could allow so much more. But pointing that out to Sulake would result in:

1) Us being ignored or
2) Them not allowing the currently allowed items

Exactly! And there's no chance of VIPs just dropping their 2 cents into random departments whenever they feel like it. And you can keep them away from our nice clean Habbox.com front news page thanks .

They claim that all the furni we "buy" still belongs to them, as do all alterations we make etc. So you could say the same; anything they say you are "giving" to a VIP member actually belongs to Habbox so they are in fact gaining nothing .

But I agree with your quit while you're behind approach with them .

Logic is lost on Habbo. Seriously, you say that to them and they will reply "We're the ones holding the leesh, what we say, whether it is written down, common sense and any bit rashional, we'll ban you and get you closed down.!

Seriously, why does no-one attack the Sulake HQ building in Finland, kill the buggars :/

*Kill as in, slap

[Mr.OSH]

Yeah as aggravating as it is the worry is if we push the boundaries (although hazy) things could just get worse for us if it was decided to get even more strict on this system. It's really unfair personally from my perspective that they should be able to force rules like that on fansites when really VIP was one way of getting in enough resources to support the site. However I guess nothing can really be dont about it sadly.

theres no point
we get most of the vip things you suggested anyway
and plus we WIN vip as a prize therefore arnt you already getting enough? O.o?

[Chippiewill]

It's all because habbo wants more money because they thought they were losing it to fansite VIP purchases....Even though most of the VIP purchases at habbox were made by the older members who don't play habbo...
