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

[karter]

dont get your panties in a twist kromium, some of us do not take habbo seriously and so like to make jokes.

Too bad you're the joke right now

id say grow up, but you are grown up. perhaps if you took a break from habbo and did something else for a bit you might discover a sense of humour.

Habbox does not make a profit; as Jin has ALREADY SAID, the money received in donations go back into buying credits for competitions and the like, rather than paying for hosting (although it would be nice if the amount was enough to help with this too)

ergo Sulake stand to make a loss.

Put it this way, this problem wouldn't be happening if the fansite owners just followed the fansite way. So stop trying to defend the point and just follow the rules like you would any other place.

1.1 Please understand that Habbo vigorously protects the Habbo IP from damaging infringement. However, pursuant to the term of this Policy, Habbo grants all of its Fan Sites the revocable permission to create Fan Sites based on Habbo IP. All Fan Sites must be tasteful (in Habbo’s sole discretion) and have no commercial (monetary) objective. Also, Habbo, in its sole discretion, can terminate and revoke your permission to create and maintain Fan Sites at any time, for any or no reason whatsoever.

If THAT is the justification of this, it's been twisted to suit your own purpose. The only way fansites could agree to that is to provide a full disclosure of income to the fansite and how the profits cover the costs of the site, and is not used for profit. But I'm sure Sulake haven't even thought of that!

its news, so why should it be closed?

[RoyalPacific]

its news, so why should it be closed?

Because it's turned into a whole argument instead of opinions...

[MKR&*42]

Woops sorry better go close down every single charity around as they're robbing me of money I choose to give them.

The changes will be reverted because so many will complain, so don't know why you're all panicking too much.

oh dear what a kerfuffle

you are both massive dweebs @Hidden; @Okeanos;, whatever bs you are spam pming to whichever habbo staff you've managed to latch onto about fansites exploiting their users is not going to have any effect on the (very limited, by the way!) revenue of habboxforum. vip purchasing was removed years ago and donator purchase is well within the guidelines that were set way back when.

id say grow up, but you are grown up. perhaps if you took a break from habbo and did something else for a bit you might discover a sense of humour.

sound advice sam... directed at the wrong person though... honestly get a grip you are a mess!!!!!!!!!!!!! AA

Charities are putting money to helping people get better in their life, not run a habbo forum. stop being so stupid and follow the rules or **** off
