Sounds like a total waste of time. They're trying to teach grandmother to suck eggs with this but I suppose they have to show they have fansites (despite the fact they really do not care about them or their community).

Habbox got the email and will be attending. So give me a wave if anyone else goes

You're so negative - Only wastes time of the staff but hey ho they are getting paid for it. The people who are attending from fansites would most likely be on Habbo at that time anyway.

Proof is in the pudding, their track record these past 4 years is evidence enough They're dictating what you should do with your fansite(s), which to me seems highly offensive They do not appear to want to listen to the concerns of fansites, so don't expect to ask many questions (and if they ask for some they will no doubt ignore them). If it was a way for fansites to voice their concerns to Habbo then all well and good, but to "pool some killer ideas" from the company that things paedophilia and a lack of security is a great idea? I'd be concerned

I'm not saying anything will change but anything is better than nothing. No point not going altogether - If one of us is on at that time then we may as well attend to see what's cracking. I'll most likely post up a summary in this thread or even record it to if people want to see what's been said.

In terms of the "pool some killer ideas" - Isn't that just a saying? I think the ideas is coming from fansites and not Habbo themselves.

If it's coming from fansites then what's the purpose of the event when you're bringing these ideas to it? It would be like bringing cakes to a Cake Bakers' Summit. Everyone there knows what a cake looks like. This just seems like one of those waste-of-time Habbo PR stunts that look good, but do sod all in the long-term

So you don't like Habbo telling us how we should run our fansites and nor do you like fansites telling Habbo what they should do to help us. Maybe I should bring you to the summit, they'll love you for sure.

Love the grammar that Habbo types out.
They've given a date and a time. But where exactly do we have to go?
I'll probably go, just to check it out. No doubt it'll be damn laggy there.

Yes to the former (it's insulting), no to the latter (feedback is good) - there's no evidence that they're there to listen to fansites, just to get them sat together (hence a summit). Besides, when have Habbo ever listened? The entire franchise has been sinking in a cesspit of their own creation because of their closed ears for years now (C4, dropping numbers of users etc). You could, but I've not signed in since 2009 and do not intend to do so

If you own a fansite then you would have an email in your inbox containing details.

Yes and I'm aware of Habbo saying this that and the other and not actually doing it. But not going altogether would be stupid for Habbox - Even if we just go there and not say one single word.
