R.I.P. official fansites!

[Kyle]

Should just do what runescape do and have a much longer list of fansites but with colour-coded tiers (e.g. gold silver bronze - like we used to) and have fansites have to submit their fansite to be approved and then it would be automatically added to the list provided it passed various checks and matched up to certain criteria. Having a short list of official fansites is of course not equal but allowing more to enter that list on a frequent basis shouldn't be a problem.

That layout looks so nice but omg can't get over the even uglier info stand. All nice apart from that. Also where is the console :S

That's what I thought when I saw the other 2 designs last night :L - I believe it could be under "Me" or maybe that "=" sign in the bottom right? :S.

And yes, the infostand looks much much worse.

Not a bad idea, but they should do more fansite promoting events.

I would suggest if you are a fansite then bring the matter up with him, the more fansites who do then the better chance we have of changing something in regards of the new plans. I also wasn't aware of his plans not do anything with the group or the current ofifcal fansites/rep badges, I was just taking what he said on twitter about making it fair for all.

I am, I have and I'm trying - he's ignoring me now LOL. even though I'm not the only one raising these points.

What do you mean "We will have to see"? It doesn't support the "equaltreatment for all" idea or the No more official fansites idea. It'd promote
the fact that some fansites are still in fact official, despite your wanted
changes, because they have a badge representing their site when others
cannot. The majority of Habbos would continue to want to access those sites
above those not listed on the Fansite group, and those without the badges.
Especially when the whole of Habbo hasn't been made aware of these changes
yet.

The idea has only just been put into practice you know. If you're so concerned that a badge is going to single out the official fansites then you really should take a look at how many people have limited badges. There are badges for having your room picked by staff - you don't immediately go around claiming it's favouritism and that the badges should be removed? Likewise with ex-eXpert and ex-Hobba badges :rolleyes:

Besides, I'm sure that the official fansites page will be removed in the near future if this new selection process seems to work well. But as I have already said, it takes time and you can't rush these people when they already have enough to deal with at the moment.

The fansite program was quite different to those programs, though. And like I said, Grecian said he has no plans to do anything with the fansite group. And since only fansite-goers know about these changes lol, or those that visit Sulake, then people don't know about these changes and will continue to use the fansite group to find new sites.

I still fail to see why a person would be so interested in a fansite that supports Sulake, yet not in the staff members Twitter feed + Sulake's blog. Besides, on the majority of fansites I expect it would state somewhere about these changes... I mean look at Habbox, there's already a thread on it (this one) so anyone who visits here isn't that likely to be confused unless they are incredibly inactive.

Also explain this;

(the section in bold) - last time I checked, Fansite-goers wouldn't continuously check the official webpage if they already visit Fansites where the changes are most likely already posted.

Jason has just tweeted this:

This is the start of a new and exciting relationship with you guys. We want to satisfy as many sites fairly, with cool unseen content.

I hope your audience find the content exciting (as we do)

Like I said this is the only start and we have more interesting things in the pipeline.

I am off soon and will return to your questions in the morning. I haven't seen the girlfriend for a while and if I tweet through dinner she will throw a fork at me!

Bye for now

Exactly my point. This information is only accessible by fansite goers, and by those who visit the Sulake page or follow the fansite group on Twitter (fansite goers again). The article wasn't posted on Habbo itself, so Habbos that want to visit a new fansite would go to the official Habbo Fansite group, only to find a list of official fansites and stickied official fansite threads.
