Downtime..

[Stephen]

Don't take the piss when lives are at stake :S

Agreed and well said, Chippiewill. Jin has to do something about this. It has been happening a lot of times and it really does affect the way the people think of Habbox. Plus, thinking that Jin might die is a bit too over the top.

[Grig]

There is still Sierk who can show up and has power if Jin dies. I don't think he's out of contact completely and would know if something like this would happen.

[Rozi]

thank GOD

I'd be horrified to think that there wasn't a backup to Jin's death

habbox must be prepared for every single thing that may happen

... and it was down just now for at least half an hour. Nice.

It does seem to have a problem between 1 and 2pm for some reason. I am sure everyone is aware of it though.

1:20am onwards isn't very good either

Yeah it seems to happen at about 1PM and AM and normally lasts for about 20-30 minutes.

An odd post for you Considering it was an easily avoidable situation, where by just letting e-mails and notifications reach whoever receives them could of solved the problem, especially when it appears to of been going on for two months - so goodness knows why someone has managed to hide these important notifications for so long. Additionally to that, many members here seem to know what is going on. Yes, Jin is good for paying out of pocket to keep Habbox afloat, but he could do himself so many favours if he fixed these server issues which cripple and ruin the Habbox community on a constant basis. Trust and respect are one thing, but they don't keep problems at bay.

Besides, no one seems to challenge Habbo over these disgusting work practices they have in place. Has anyone pushed them for an answer over VIP again? If I was you I would just do it, Habbo get a lot out of Habbox and their arguments for closing websites just seems like fighting talk that won't go anywhere. You clearly state they own the Habbo name and images, and you're not making money out of Habbo as it goes straight back to them - you do Habbo related events and competitions which go straight back towards Habbo and their evil organisation. You're doing them a service, not the other way round I'd push for some answers at least, and set the record straight as Habbo clearly have a lot of seriously imbred individuals working for them - the key is to talk slowly and down to them, judging by the way you have to talk to their moderators and staff

In regards of the VIP rule:

When we last contacted Habbo over the matter they said they will look into any fansite rules and see if any need to be changed within so many months. They also told me why the rule was put in place because of other fansites in the Habbo World used their status to sell unofficial Habbo goods and services that they couldn't vouch for. So they banned all types of premium servers across each hotel as the result. I did explain that VIP wasn't like that and was similar to donator but they don't seem to like that either way. If VIP was ever allowed and did return, it would mean VIP as a prize would be pretty much pointless and may cause some problems for some departments. Then again, I don't actually see Sulake/Habbo changing this rule any time soon.

omg can people not read or something? This recent problem was nothing to do with the ongoing server problems we have, and having someone else get full admin rights to everything wouldn't have fixed it unless that person was willing to support Hx through their own finances like Jin does. This was essentially just a filing mistake, and one that I'm sure won't happen again even come 2013

I'm just going to point something out

We are sorry for the downtime, it for once wasn't related to the server having technical issues but Habbox having financial issues in the form that one of the credit cards used to finance Habbox had expired so we have missed £673.98 of payments in the last 2 months causing several providers to cut us off which caused what appeared to be downtime.

It went completely unnoticed as all of our invoices are filed away automatically and in doing so the final demand notices were also filed away. Sierk is on holiday and I was trapped in an internet-less area of of rural Ireland which meant neither of us could do anything about it immediately.

Our server uses several licensed products and when the license expires it caused pages to not connect as you may have noticed until either the license is renewed or the product uninstalled.

Anyway we have had a look at all our cards and can ensure this won't happen again till 2013.

Shouldn't it be Jins job to check to credit cards?
