HabboxStatus.com

I reckon it's pointless, I mean, if I go on HxF, I'll know if it's down or not... I don't need to go to another website to find out? And if we get updates on how the downtime is going, they are usually on the maintenance page, are they not?

agreed, and I thought twitter/facebook etc was meant to be the main communications hub for habbox, seems silly having a completely different site for people to remember. I doubt it will be used much anyway since the majority of our userbase aren't the kind of people to go to a specific website when habbox is visibly down. We are a habbo community so news would spread fast anyway, it normally is in HxHD for instance. Most people just ask someone "is habbox down" anyway and get an answer straight away. Not sure why twitter wasn't suitable for this? Since Matt is pracitcally always online anyway

I think its concerning if we 'expect' downtime, since it should always be kept to an absolute minimum anyway (especially unexpected downtime), and having a site dedicated to it is kinda celebrating it in a way which shouldnt be the case.

Planned maintanence can make use of the maintanence page anyway, and I don't see what is wrong with twitter/facebook/habbo/word of mouth/downforeveryoneorjustme.com (or w.e its called) isnt suitable enough and a whole new domain had to be made. I guess it will be okay if anyone uses it, but it just seems a bit pointless and a waste of time, when resources should be going full into V7 right now.

Not complaining or anything, and I guess to some people its nice, just not my kind of thing haha.

I don't see why people are complaining, Habbox are told to communicate better time and time again and when we provide more methods you guys complain... just sayin'

I've never complained, I think the threads telling us about it are more than enough notification

The site isn't harming anyone or any money donated to Habbox haven't been used in the purchase of the domain. Don't worry guys, it's free!

I'll let you off then

Knew someone would mention v7. This took literally a few hours of time, time that most probably wouldn't have gone towards V7 anyway.

Also how would you live without knowing what the server cpu usage is?!?!

I think it's far more concerning if we deny the possibility that downtime will happen. There's nothing wrong with being prepared.

Slightly ontopic: it also has no favicon.

Let me just confirm something:

No one who is working on the V7 project worked on HabboxStatus.com.

When I saw it I was confused on why it was made anyway. I thought everyone just checked twitter or facebook or just accepted it was down and waited. Nice idea but I won't be using it.

Whilst on topic of v7, any idea when it's expected to be complete? Couldn't care if its 6 months down the line, just curious.
