VIP Membership (New Extra's)

How can you pay for the premium features when they're not advertised? It's like buying a box of cereal, then finding a toy inside. You only bought it for the cereal, it's all the same price and the customer was not aware of what they were buying.

Surely thats a loophole that needs to be tested. I mean you're not paying for the premium features, you're paying to be a donator just to find out you have premium features also. Oh snap.

Right Im off, see ya. Oh and btw... *glares at jake*

Won't work. Habbo has in the past had many hundreds of loopholes, and when they're tried and tested they simply don't care to explain, but just ban or remove on the spot. They're dirty playaz :8 At the end of the day, a company will listen to another company, especially one as big and corporate as Sulake/Habbo. A website host would rather take out action on their own customers than attempt to tackle something bigger, especially when money may get involved

How do you propose to make Habbo images without making them look like Habbo images? Reporting Habbo News on Habbox news would require Habbo News Team members to create, or request, non-Habbo news images that represent news from Habbo. It's too much hassle.

As a side note, I'd love to know what constitutes as "an image owned by Sulake". I know they say anything alterated from a Habbo image, but how far does that go? I mean Habbo images aren't very complex, any isometric doodle on Paint could resemble a part of something on Habbo. If you wanted to, it wouldn't be hard to make images like Sulake's but different. Like Habbos with different proportions to their bodily features etc. As far as I'm concerned, if they haven't got a patent on "isometric images" they can do one.

That's what I was trying to get at, sorry I can't get points accross at 1am The rare values would be a bit more of an issue, maybe just text will do? What I'm saying is we don't have to let them pin us down over the images, we just remove them and improvise a bit and still make it look cartoony like habbo but without using their images.

Tbh I'd love to see what they actually have a claim to in writing, then we can go about deciding whether we can do without it.

It's too much hassle really, why destroy Habbox to better itself. What needs to change is Habbo, not Habbox Anyone wanna go on a mission with me to wipe out whoever is in charge at Sulake? We'll be doing the world some good

Yeah go for it

Thing is we can control what habbox does, not what sulake does

But I still ask, can Habbox and HabboxForum become separated to avoid this issue?

I think we've asked Sulake that before and they say they consider hx and hxf the same entity.

Rename HabboxForum to something else, just add it to a sponsored link site along with other things. Make a seperate Habbox actual forum. Ding dang doo.

All that just so they can spell VIP for a pound? :S

I'll get in trouble if I reproduce the email but to summarize they said if we removed all the Habbo images from HxF skins then we still wouldn't be in the clear because of something about Official Fansites not being able to link to other fansites that broke the fansite way and so we'd have to remove all links to HabboxForum...

Don't look at me. Not my rules. And you all complain about how messed up *our* rules are.

Then it shall be done!
