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

[Rachel]

I personally think that it's the owners and probably general management decides if they want to close a fansite. Donations being given towards Habbox are not being forced to be given. If it comes to the point that Habbo(sulake) wants to stop this then I am not sure what will happen next but I don't think Habbox will ever close for this matter if they take out donations. Well that is how I see it.

Sorry what? I have donated several money to charity. I don't get why you would even say that if you don't even know anything about me lol.

But you have not donated millions of pounds, and others have, why? The answer is, you simply cannot. Just like Habbox cannot operate without donations.

Time to move to geocities

A simple solution if Habbo did take their images away, make HxF seperate to Habbox. Habbox remains official, HxF keeps taking donations. I am sure we can live without a few skins.

good idea! this should be done if it can't get sorted out

[Shorty]

Incoming three adverts per every page on every fansite, followed my Sulake then demanding no adverts on fansites.

There's a difference between giving what you can and not giving at all. If Habbox can't operate without donations then how is that Habbos problem? They stated it in the rules that it's against the fansite policy to accept donations. Just like it's also against the fansite way to accept p2p/p2s in events.

They stated in the fansite policy that fansites shouldn't be getting monetary gain. 20 pages in, and you still haven't established that Habbox are running at a loss and there is no monetary gain.

In no way does it say they're not allowed to accept donations, so if it came to it Habbox could ask people to donate money to keep the site running but not offer any rewards for it. There's no commercialism in that.

Users suffer, but the fansites live on!

Why have you gone to the trouble of deliberately getting sulake to ban donations? There's no reason to unless you're simply trying to cause huge amounts of trouble for fansites.

Habbox and probably most official fansites who use donator don't even gain a profit, and for those who do, if any, who cares. You're just trying to cause trouble or eliminate competition if you are from another fansite :/...

And as ryry just said above, there is no gain for Habbox.

The money we habbos pay to fansites is for like Matt said, credits for the community and half for the bills. In return, the buyers get a special color username and other special features. I dont understand the point in this...
