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

[RyRy]

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.

Charities are often declared as NPOs thus they are assessed as not making a profit, and thus wouldn't be affected by this kind of rule (if it were to come into place nationwide haha).

But then it brings up another point, register as a charity and Sulake don't have a leg to stand on.

[lawrawrrr]

but habbox runs an annual charity campaign, these new rules mean that we can't give that money to charities?????

and if it is taken down I will personally send the money I spend on donator to @xxMATTGxx;'s house

I was just trying to make an analogy, not necessarily a perfect one

Please do the last thing Matt and I'll laugh so much.

I said that earlier to Matt, I've actually genuinely been looking into it!

We'd have to prove that we do something or help in some way which I don't think would be that difficult! We'd probably have to ban all the bullies and trolls though

oh dear

[Okeanos]

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.


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

blah blah blah i duno why youre getting angry at me, staff decided to do this not me. i think what you and others are actually angry about is that me (and others) might actually agree with this. sorry but you cant make everyone agree with you.

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

Charities are a type of not-for-profit organizaiton, Habbo fansites don't have to be categorized as charities. For example, the Mozilla Foundation:

The Mozilla Foundation is a non-profit organization that promotes openness, innovation and participation on the Internet. We promote the values of an open Internet to the broader world.Mozilla is best known for the Firefox browser, but we advance our mission through other software projects, grants and engagement and education efforts such as Mozilla Webmaker.
Webmaker is all about building a new generation of digital creators and webmakers, giving people the tools and skills they need to move from using the web to actively making the web.
Other projects, like Mozilla Open Badges, seek to unlock the full educational potential of the web by making it easy for users to get recognition for skills they learn online and offline.
If you're interested in supporting our efforts, please consider getting involved with Mozilla Webmaker or Open Badges, making a donation or getting involvedwith the Mozilla community.

They do a bit of charity work here and there, but then so do Habbox with their Christmas donation programme. Oh snap buddy!

Donating to habbox money that WILL g oto charity is 100% different to donating to the main site, oh snap :/
