Breaking News: is this the end of fansites, goodbye Habbox?

[RyRy]

victory lol. if it makes you feel better by thinking this is somehow all down to me and that habbo staff don't really want to do this then by all means go ahead. of course you will argue against it and i daresay sulake may back down, they have before after all. i hope they dont though.
15 mins of fame? hun i was already famous. +**+*

I'd take you serously if you came on here to inform us of the changes, but instead you've come on with a "rub-it-in-your-faces" attitude that these types of changes are going to be made, and that you're happy for it because you dislike fansites. From when you first posted this thread, you've automatically come in and thought of it as a positive for all fansites.

You're allowed your opinions, comparing you to Anders Breivik is ******* sick and those people who have compared you to that are bonkers. I'm not disagreeing that Habbo Staff have decided to do this, but I'm disagreeing that they thought of it off their own back.

wow, if this is actually happening I hope powertoo takes the time to talk to official fansite owners to find out why they need those donation and how none of us are even asked to fund the sites. We donate mainly to help keep a fansite community going, and happen to get a few perks as a thankyou.

Also, you can't really compare it to clubhabbo (you're probably just saying habbox will close, but clubhabbo was completely free to run by the end of it).

Clubhabbo closed because Ryan lost interest in it, he got the hosting for free the entire time and thus didn't depend on donations. The donations that were given to him went directly into his coffers... SITE MANAGER 2K11

that's true. Went on his dominos I swear :p

but yeh, so ****.

I highly doubt Habbox will stop earning income in SOME form, whether it be sponsors, ads or VIP purchases. I'm sure this will all blow over once people realize how ridiculous it is. Habbox does not TAKE money from people, they simply ASK for it. It's up to members to choose whether they want to donate or not.

hahahahahaha

i dont care if you take me seriously or not. i thought it was a funny bit of news so i thought id make a funny post about it. this isnt the BBC, we dont have to be impartial.

Loving how you seem to be *thrilled* and *excited* about this lovely change. Did you really expect to come on here practically showing off about how you've got this change and expect none of us to fight back?

It's quite silly imo

i dont think i did get/cause this change, i have already said the original post was a joke (if you took it seriously then thats your problem). i dont know if my talking to staff about fansites receiving money from their users caused this, i suspect not.

What's funny about donations being taken away? People who want to run these types of sites have to pay out of their own pockets (even further than what they probably were already doing).

Comical, in stitches. NOPE.
