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

[Inseriousity.]

I don't see how asking for donations means fansites have a monetary objective. The objective of a fansite is to serve the Habbo community. If they were infringing on Habbo's copyright by selling Habbo mugs and t-shirts to make a profit then it'd be a different story but the money donated to them (not taken from them) goes to fulfil the service objective.

lmao

can I ask why you don't think fansites should take donations?

you too @Hidden;

Theres no legit proof that they are using it towards the site every week/month and it's against their set rules.

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.

Apparently calling themselves famous and putting words in asterisks suggests a lovely sense of humour of a person

Sorry to break it to you but I am not the one who spends hours on a game each day, sucking upto staff and discussing my online achievements. This is concerning, you probably need to concentrate more on the online course of yours (unless the course is playing Habbo all day)

i have already said why. there is the possibility that the site owner can make a profit (dont bother telling me this doesn't happen, that's not the point - it COULD happen). if a fansite wants to be official and enjoy whatever privileges that come with that it can not imo be seen to be making money for itself. evidently sulake agree.

by the way the idea that habbox or any habbo forum becoming a registered charity is complete nonsense. who would you be helping? you would need an income of over £5k a year to be registered anyway and thats not gonna happen.

Just did a bit of searching, can't find any proof to say an NPO would have to generate over £5k a year.

Sure you're not referring to a limited company, or an actual charity which is slightly different with stricter rules, than an NPO?

Well Habbox's running costs have been posted in this thread along with what it earns from donator....... its clear they have to use it towards the site. The money just doesn't come from thin air lol

@Hidden;

Care to justify why I'm incorrect, or are you just going to leave a -rep?

Habbo doesn't NEED fansites which is why they are optional. Habbo fansites need HABBO or they wouldn't exist. So put that logic into this and pretty much says Sulake have the final say.

Considering the amount of people who regularly come back to habbo/stay on habbo because of fansites and fansites HOST EVENTS in client which mean the lazy staff dont have to do that many i would say yes, they do need them.

why would habbo not want fansites?
