Bye to fansites

[tm]

You'd have to check with the current fansite's managers but in my experience a very small amount of referring takes place directly from the official fansite pages anyway. Don't think it'd be any big loss to any of the current (large) official fansites if the whole scheme was dropped.

nah not claim i have wiiiiiiiiicked uk names hehe

I thought you already had the name claim, Jake.

Official fansites will be no more, as soon as ---MAD--- returns as Habbox management

No more official = VIP can be sold again? Its about time somebody stood up to Habbo and their rules/threats.

Unfortunately it applies to both official and unofficial

I cant see them getting far with legal action though so would love to seee it tested Habbox is non profit making and also makes considerable donations to charity imagine the negative press sulake would get from a court case. It must make Sierk very proud to know that all the years of helping promote a game free of charge that they turn out to be a bunch of bullies who try/tried their best to make the bigger fansites collapse through lack of finances as they must have thought they were getting to powerful.

They can shove their fansite way. We should have challenged them when they seriously broke the Data Protection Act and lost every habbo account from day ones details / passwords / phone number (if that account bought creds) / Financial info / Emails and much more. I am pretty disgusted how they behave towards the people who have done way more to promote them than they ever have themselves and all for FREE grrrrrrrrrrr

[hah]

when did they lose everyones details lol?

[-:Undertaker:-]

I think the Rare Values Department will need to be on standby to start changing the rare values according to how they change in the merger. It will need to be done promptly and Habbox will need to have a massive advertising drive to assert itself as the best resource for rare values on the new Hotel. Of course I am sure the RVD will start planning for it anyway

We are onto it and have worked out a plan, as soon as new hotel is launched (and when we have information regarding the US/CA merge) then we will start work. I don't really want to say much though because I know other fansites who provide values are on the lookout on what to do next, although if it all goes according to what we think it will turn out like at the moment then we should have a pretty strong start and will be ahead of the game.

Habbox in general needs a massive overhaul, a new site with a lot of work put into it. The other sites outshine Habbox, sadly, by a mile in terms of their features and interaction.

I would recommend ... actually I will PM you it so other fansites dont copy it. But habbox should start collecting rooms and rooms full of donations for 1 whole week of giveaway. Yes 1 whole week of giveaway.

Well I couldn't believe it either. How do they expect fansites to exist? I mean it's hardly that any fansite is going to profit greatly from it. Nvr did a good job when he was here though getting it relaxed. At first all donators were allowed was a coloured name. @ Blob - I like it but I would rather Habbo changed their name and we keep Habbox!
