March 2009

What made you join?
I came second in HxEE and part of my prize was VIP.

Tell us a bit about what Habbox was like when you first became a member
When I first joined they were very strict with rules, for example you'd get told off for just saying 'omfg' due to the f in it. It was more active, but I stuck to more of the Habbo parts of the forum and Spam was a scary place .

Are you glad you joined or do you think you'd have been better off if you'd stayed away?
I'm definitely glad I stayed, I have met some amazing people and even without Habbox I think we'd keep in touch.

Who do you miss from when you first joined?
Jhazmine18, she was the 3rd place in HxEE that year and that's how we bonded from there. I also miss -TGIFriday aka Lauren as she was a lovely person to talk to too.

What's the most memorable event for you during your time at Habbox?
The HxEE when I started, it was a lovely atmosphere and it was when fansites didn't have to have events every hour, 3 a day was enough and players could try and go to them all and still have a life.

What, if anything, would you change to improve Habbox?
A push on V7 definitely, it would be great to see a new version as it's been close plenty of times, but it hasn't happened yet.
Also a push on joining on the forum, make sure staff are going on the client if they're community staff and see if they advertise etc.

When did you first join Habbox? 2006

What made you join? I liked reading what other habbos had to say about habbo news and was getting into pixel art, and habbox had the most active graphics section of all uk fansites at the time.( 06-09)

Tell us a bit about what Habbox was like when you first became a member A community that contained other smaller communities. I didn't really discover the new posts feature (did it exist in earlier vb?) before I had my own forum so I would stick almost exclusively in graphics and habbo news and be one of those annoying people who bumped every thread for 2 pages. The staff only really spoke to established members and all mods were hated. The helpdesk was really active even though almost nobody used it for actual help and lots used it to troll

Are you glad you joined or do you think you'd have been better off if you'd stayed away?
Guess so. Had lots of good discussions and discovered some interesting people. Don't think I'd be any better off without it.

Who do you miss from when you first joined?
All my friends from habbo graphics: Cheep., .-.extra.-., Boonzeet, Blissa, Liam. R@8 my friend and favourite mod, immenseman, fifteen, kaotix12, MJJ, visa. Loads lmao.

What's the most memorable event for you during your time at Habbox?
I have lots of these too. All those times Jase faked his death and him resurfacing a few years ago. Me trashing blissa's room on habbo and being mean about her fake dead parents and causing a ruckus on the forum. buttons thinking I was australian. Hacking pabble and laughing at the weird pics he had in his emails. Exposing catzsy for the old granny she is after she told ludus i was not to be trusted. rockyhorror copying shockwave's onesie. girlnexdoor16. Habbox olympics with team Flamania where me and richie spoke our own language and we recruited laura as an honorary fourth member cos her team was crap. all the memes and paige rigging for mcdonalds with the red pod of doom. putting a chair down in hxss while red was typing and her blocking me lmfao. dragga's wonderful threads about atheism and fluoride and his collection of screenshots that shook the world. Bullying e5 for being a habbo addict. Ok I'll stop

What, if anything, would you change to improve Habbox?
I don't care enough to answer.

When did you first join Habbox?
I signed up to the forum in January 2011 on this account however I'd visit Habbox rooms every few weeks in 2009.


What made you join?
I used to stalk the forum in 2009 to look in the graphics section because I always admired the work people would in there or read threads in the relationships forum. My best Habbo friend at the time orientalframe? had joined the rare values team and whenever I stalked her on Habbo she was ALWAYS dancing in the Help Desk with Alex3213 and I felt like I missing out so I decided to join the forum and applied to be an events organiser, checked back a few days later and I'd received a trial so I stuck around.


Tell us a bit about what Habbox was like when you first became a member.
Only 3 events were hosted per day and that was the norm and having more than 3 events per day was looked highly upon. I remember how I'd always wanted to be part of Habbox since 2009 so every single time I came to a Habbox room or posted in a thread I was always really nervous about it because I felt intimidated by everyone cos I thought they were really cool for being part of Habbox and I felt like a Habbox noobie but everyone was really kind to me for the most part and within the first few weeks I'd made tons of friends.


Are you glad you joined or do you think you'd have been better of if you'd stayed away?
I'm really glad I joined because I've made some really good friends who I'll keep for life. For example, Lerdulo doesn't play Habbo or use Habbox anymore but we speak every single day and go to concerts with eachother every few months.


Who do you miss from when you first joined?
So many people, wikidchaz (even though she was so annoying), garriet, chloeebaldwin, lacey1231, mcdonalds, toribbz, laurenbbz, samlouise., :cerys and all of my little crew who would tinychat every night in the summer of 2011.


What's the most memorable event for you during your time at Habbox?
I remember getting extremely happy when Mathew asked me if I wanted a weekly event at Habbox, getting my first promotion as Senior Events Organiser, having a competition with :Cerys to see who could host the most events in one month. :Cerys being told she couldn't host Chain Game in HxSS because of p2k so she rage quit and then came back and said she came came back for her pods -.-, getting about 5 warnings in my first 2 weeks of being staff. AND MOST OF ALL MY FAVOURITE MEMORY: Back in 2011, some girl called PurpleeMist/Khey faked her death and posted an thread in the events organisers forum talking about how she owed a "big guy" lots of money and he was coming to get her, she sent worrying messages to Jazz and Paige on Skype about the situation and then disappeared. A week or so later there was a new DJ at HabboxLive and we were all in a Skype call with this DJ and I messaged Jazz saying that it sounded like PurpleeMist and we confronted the DJ about it and it was the same person and then they said to Jazz that their cousin forced them to fake their death and that they were pregnant whilst they were gone and gave birth and named their baby after Jazz. @lesbon;


What, if anything, would you change now to improve Habbox?
To improve Habbox I think there needs to be more presence of Habbox on the Habbo client to attract new users and bring back the buzz that there used to be around Habbox.

When did you first join Habbox?

November 2005

What made you join?

Rare values I think lol, it was either that or looking at news posts.

Tell us a bit about what Habbox was like when you first became a member

Habbo News & Rumours was like the most popular forum, constantly people posting stuff which was really cool. It was a very active Habbo community, constant radio stuff and HxHD was always brimming.

Are you glad you joined or do you think you'd have been better off if you'd stayed away?

I'd probably have been better off, but it's too late for that now haha.

Who do you miss from when you first joined?

Zahrina, Jackbuddy, Garion, Oli (yes lol) and Adzeh.

What's the most memorable event for you during your time at Habbox?

HxSS, when I went so damn hard on it everyday and won a lot of stuff and pretty much carried the red team to victory. None have been able to beat my record AFAIK, many have tried but many have failed. It did help that there was always events on 24/7 so I just stayed on nonstop and gained points like a madman. That and I was friends with one of the DJs so she'd sometimes organize a competition which she knew I was good at, slight favouritism but she wasn't on the same team GG.

What, if anything, would you change to improve Habbox?

It can't be improved from this point on now, it's fell out of touch with what Habbo is about and but then Habbo has lost touch with what it used to be about anyway so that's not a huge deal. I think just going on the way we are now is fine, nothing needs to change, it's as good as it can be for this point in time.

When did you first join Habbox?

- I knew about habbox for years, but i joined for the first time in March

What made you join?

- To be honest, i love fansites. I started playing habbo in 2004 and in 2008 i joined my first fansite. I later moved on to owning the biggest communities in Norway, and as a fansite owner you always drop by other fansites to see how they are doing and from what i had seen habbox was the coolest community over seas. When Habbo.no closed i decided to move my hotel location to .com and apply

Are you glad you joined or do you think you'd have been better of if you'd stayed away?

- I'm glad i joined, Habbox is a nice community

What's the most memorable event for you during your time at Habbox?

- Draw my movie!

What, if anything, would you change now to improve Habbox?

- There is allways things that can be done to improve everything. In this case i don't know what i would improve, but to get more activity in certaint forum sections would be one of the things i would try to improve!

Are you glad you joined or do you think you'd have been better off if you'd stayed away?

When did you first join Habbox? During HxEE in 2011. I remember going to Samantha and Rosie's events and I ended up being in the top 10 in HxEE that year so I won some Club Sofas from Martin (Bolt660). I joined the forum during that because you could enter comps to win more points. I disappeared for a year then returned when I got offered an Events trial by Alex (Smurfed-)

What made you join?
I applied for events countless times in 2011 but I was ignored then when Alex was promoted he offered me a trial so I had to choose to accept my trial at Habbox or ThisHabbo and here I am.

Are you glad you joined or do you think you'd have been better off if you'd stayed away?
I've learned so much here. I had no idea what pixel art was before I was encouraged to join Graphics by Drew last year and I've managed to learn the skill and improve so much in the last year. It's improved my confidence in general and I've met some great people on here. People who I know I will carry on speaking to after I've/they've left.

Who do you miss from when you first joined?
Not a lot of the people I spoke to when I first started have left and I still speak to them now, but I was sad when Alex3213 left since he was the 2nd friend I made here and now he's disappeared off this and Skype so I have no way of contacting him . Other people I used to speak to a lot are @JACKTARD; @AlexJRiley;, @exceeding;, @gibo46; @Deeanoo;

What's the most memorable event for you during your time at Habbox?
Joining the Events Department on a trial and having Hayden make fun of my room because I'd used Mode Bars
Being petrified of @Samanfa; and then freaking out every time she sent me a feedback PM when I was a News Reporter
Being a loser and hosting 112 events in 1 month and 13 of those were hosted right after each other too omg
Increasing monthly entries in Comps from 200 to 800 with @Intersocial; when we were Comps Management by excessively advertising (and annoying everyone in doing so, oops)
Draw My Thing: a collab event with Graphics back when @Drew; was manager and the most successful event I've ever planned with 58 people taking part.
Habbox Hogwarts: an event that took months of preparation and went nothing to plan because a family member was ill during and got rushed to hospital, but I loved the enthusiasm of those who took part

What, if anything, would you change to improve Habbox?
More Habbo presence, definitely.
