Thank you for all the excellent replies to this thread, as well as private messages from some of you.

We've now got, and people can keep adding by all means, a gigantic source of information that we can create pages with and link with one another. I'll do more writing whenever I next have the writing bug/after the three essays + exams that are close approaching. A lot of memories in this thread, good times long gone.

i know nothing about habbo.com but i can fill in some of habbo.no habbo.dk and habbo.se.

Red cross buss: (Im not sure if this was on all hotels, but we had it in norway)
The redcross buss was organized by two habbos working for redcross. These habbos where called redcross and henrydu.
There would be 1 mod wathcing the outside of this buss, and 2 mods on the inside of the buss (henry and red). During these conversations there would also be 1 employee of sulake attending with technical support. Back in my days when i was a huge habbo geek i meet both henrydu and redcross irl and talked with them with some general problems on the buss. There where allot of que sneeking, bullying and scamming while these events where going on. Therefor they made the some changes to the event.
1. They got 1 mod to watch the conversations because of the bullying.
2. They added fences outside the buss and also got a sulake technical support to attend since the fences they added sometimes bugged, and allot of other things kept happening, like you couldnt go inside the buss, and some other minor buggs. The fences also keept users from que sneeking.

The dudeson visits Habbo.no:
The finnish stunt group the dudesons visits habbo.no for a day, where you also would get the chance to win a the dudesons dvd if you where over 16 years old, with their autographs. You would also recieve a badge if you attended the q/a with them.

Norways first official fansite scams upp to 200 habbo's. sol-hjelpesentral.no:
A couple of years ago the very first habbo.no official fansite owned by snip95.
This was one of the biggest fansites in scandinavia for many years until they where accused by sulake for
scamming many users and taking over their account with the passwords they used to register to sol-hjelpesentral. 3 habbos where to be investigated by the police. there where never any arrests, and the hacked users would get a refund, by the fansite owners and 2 co-owners. The fansite was also forced by sulake to close their fansite or be removed as an official habbo fansite.

Habbo.no,dk,se reaches beta:
All three hotels goes into a duo mode for 1-2 months where they get the ability to play on the new version of habbo, or the old one for up too 2 months. Several badges was given to the beta testers during this period.

Habbo scandinavia near going bankrupt:
The current Hotel manager of habbo.no (ladystarlight) gets fired allong with sever other staff members. The norwegian sulake offices located in oslo gets moved to denmark (kopenhagen) the danish hotel manager kimstar takes over the controll of habbo.no.
some of the habbo.se employees gets moved from stocholm to denmark, some of the employees gets fired. I believe kimstar took over this hotel as well.

Habbo medieval eras:

This was a huge scandinavan event, also one of the first big events at the scandinavian hotels. Not much to say other than that, 1 badge where given to all attending habbos.

Habbo.no Hotel changing hotel manager.
MissCayenne’s get's swapped out, ladystarlight becomes the new manager of habbo.no

29.04.2015 All scandinavian hotels shuts down:
the last 2 years the scandinavian hotels have been pretty dead. After many staff changes the hotel's seemed to be doing pretty bad. After going semi bankrupt 1 time, and not recovering that well, it seemd like sulake where done with arranging events on habbo. This lead to the habbo user's got bored of the game and quit one by one.
Ive been a habbo since the hotel opend in 2004 and can say by experience that the hotels have been doing rally bad after some minor staff changes in 2013.
Ive been working at about 15-20 fansites over the years and i have seen a different side of the hotels than many other scandinavian users. And i have to admit, it's a good thing that the scandinavian hotels closes down. It will be a reminder for sulake that they have to do things right to gain activity, you cant just "dont" care and go "idgaf" mode against the users. And sometimes you should just keep it the way it is.

UK had infobus didn't it which was like frank and other habbo partners/staff

Obviously didn't have dudesons as they're a no-one outside of norway

Obviously didn't have some scam site that was official

Every hotel went into Beta and gave out test badges and have old and beta available

Don't believe we ever went near bankrupt, although those staff would have been made redundant not fired.

God knows how many hotel managers we had over the years
