When did you first join Habbox?
2006 but didn't really use it for the first 3 months or so

What made you join?
Probably something graphics related? I know I started pixel art ~ 2006 but that wasn't really until the Halloween competitions so I'm not sure. I guess someone got me to sign up?

Tell us a bit about what Habbox was like when you first became a member
Active, especially the graphics section. It was nice to actually get feedback on work rather than people posting for the sake of posting. But at the same time, it had some annoying people and spam was also a place to stay away from.

Are you glad you joined or do you think you'd have been better off if you'd stayed away?
Glad for the most part I suppose. It's pretty much what got me interested in a few things I do to this day.

Who do you miss from when you first joined?
Voiceover. .-.extra.-. ardemax (wasn't really from when I first joined but oh well).

What's the most memorable event for you during your time at Habbox?
Either the 2010 election or the "alt wars" I used to have with voiceover. and .-.extra.-. Competing to get the best public reaction was good back then.

What, if anything, would you change to improve Habbox?
Change the ******* hxss animal graphics!!

When did you first join Habbox?
I think my first account was created in mid late 2005

What made you join?
Honestly, difficult to remember why... Habbox Values were the thing of the day so everyone used Habbox for that, I think my real life friend used the forum and got me to sign up, and I haven't looked back since!

Tell us a bit about what Habbox was like when you first became a member
I think it was more active than it is now, a lot more people with different things to talk about

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

Who do you miss from when you first joined?
Some of the old faces, but times change

What's the most memorable event for you during your time at Habbox?
Don't really have one I don't think... probably being the coolest guy around

What, if anything, would you change to improve Habbox?
I'd make an over 18's specific forum

October 2010


What made you join?

I'd just come back after like 3 years and I wanted to try something different, so I applied for Rare Values and HxL and thats the main reason I'm here


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


It was very active, and it was full of drama. Drama here there and everywhere, the events were nice though and the radio was popular and active. I remember being a lot more scared about posting on the forum and talking to certain people @xxMATTGxx; x)

Who do you miss from when you first joined?

@Succubus;, @iLogan;, @,Jess,; etc


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


The drama I got caught up in. Indie/Purpleemist/Khey faking her own death and coming back again naming her imaginary child after me. Valuism turning out to be Chawk & Fred, that was odd af


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

We need to pull together to work on our on-client side of Habbo. Getting into events and stuff, but without the on-client side, we can't progress as fast as everyone else.

Do you wish that you was still scared of me? Haha

When did you first join Habbox?
I started using Habbox in 2006 but didn't join the forum until 2008. I became active in 2010.

What made you join?
Like a lot of users, I originally joined for rare values and trading. I was also an avid listener of HabboxLive back in the day.

Tell us a bit about what Habbox was like when you first became a member
I can't remember much about it, but I do remember that it was very heavily based around rare values. I also remember that the radio was really popular back then and attracted 50 listeners or more quite regularly.

Are you glad you joined or do you think you'd have been better off if you'd stayed away?
I honestly think that Habbox has been quite an important part of my life, so for that reason I am glad I joined. I have thought about what it would have been like if I didn't join, but I don't really know what else I would have done for all these years if I didn't.

Who do you miss from when you first joined?
Around the time that I became active was the time that I first started as a Forum Moderator. I became friends with Shar and Rosie (Catzsy), as well as Nicola who was Forum Manager at the time. Since all three of them have moved on now, I miss them the most!

What's the most memorable event for you during your time at Habbox?
HxSS because there is always so much drama! That said, I'm normally the first to start moaning about the players causing trouble. (A)

What, if anything, would you change to improve Habbox?
Bring out V7 and give everything a lick of paint. The sites are looking a bit tired.

[-:Undertaker:-]

When did you first join Habbox?
I joined at the beginning of 2006 after reading the forum as a visitor for months throughout 2005.

What made you join?
I wanted to ask questions on the forum or comment, but it was when then-General Manager @8Freak8; came to my trade room to offer Habbox sponsorship I joined Habbox. I can't recall properly, but I am sure he recommended me joining to help out the Rare Values Department too.

Tell us a bit about what Habbox was like when you first became a member
Much younger, more Habbo related... although that applies to all fansites.

Are you glad you joined or do you think you'd have been better off if you'd stayed away?
Glad. It's the only online forum I use.

Who do you miss from when you first joined?
A great deal, mainly my first Rare alues Department. From @Smiddy; to @YellowParasol; to @Cigaret; to @Faboosh; to @Ardemax; to countless others.

What's the most memorable event for you during your time at Habbox?
For me it was obviously the http://www.habboxwiki.com/Samovar_Crisis

What, if anything, would you change to improve Habbox?
I'd like to end people's delusions on here that making big plans or projects has ever worked or will work, and focus on doing what can be realistically done than wasting time on schemes which never come to fruitation. All plans on Habbox are due to failure, and like life in general it's a mixture of disasters, failures and small successes that work best rather than a manager or General Manager promising what never comes.

When did you first join Habbox?
29th August 2004

What made you join?
Seeing Habbox being spammed in Hallway 1 and wondering what it was. And all the booty

Tell us a bit about what Habbox was like when you first became a member
Busy, productive and always something going on. The forum was independent and always busy, as were the competitions, news and trade departments. Everything seemed more connected, and you heard everything that was going on in each.

Are you glad you joined or do you think you'd have been better off if you'd stayed away?
Here now and can't seem to leave

Who do you miss from when you first joined?
@Mizki, @MissAlice, @jrh2002, to name a few.

What's the most memorable event for you during your time at Habbox?
Probably when Habbox lost Official Fansite status after a plethora of things. Images of Habbos doing interesting things to Habbo dogs, a corrupt News Manager who pretty much took over the website because he was given too much power and the Owner at the time having a rant at Habbo staff, not realising that in every way possible they have the upper ground which ultimately led to fallings out over Habbox and Habbo.

What, if anything, would you change to improve Habbox?
Nothing really. It's a victim of the times.

I actually think Habbo and Habbox taught me quite alot. There were always those older than you and the forum specifically was quite informative and people would post news and facts etc on here and I'd pick up on that.

Habbo, as I used that most first taught me how to type well and fast and I think also had a big impact on my spelling irl now. People at school used to be so impressed by how fast I could type haha

When did you first join Habbox?

26th July 2004 (Wow, such a long time ago)

What made you join?

I honestly can't remember why I joined Habbox to be honest. I remember my friend telling me about Habbo and we searched for ages on Google because he couldn't remember the correct spelling and we kept putting "Harbio" into the search bar instead. Then I believe Habbox was the very first fansite I came across and was just amazed at and always wanted to be come staff and applied to be a Forum Moderator so many times until Professor-Alex finally let me into the department. (I was Graphics staff at one point too, all the info on www.habboxwiki.com/xxMATTGxx)

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

Very orange, strict and professional. I remember the radio site mostly and the changes that went through as it wasn't always "HabboxLive" and then there was RadioHabbo I believe. I remember the songs that used to get played all the time like the hamster song, Chocolatte and the famous/popular DJ's back then like Mizki, Icebox12 and others.

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

I'm glad because I have met some amazing people off here and have learned quite a lot. The people I am closest to I would consider some of my best friends in the real world and have been on various trips and holidays with them so far. If it wasn't for these people and others I don't know what I would do without them.

Who do you miss from when you first joined?

People like nvrspk4, Professor-Alex, any of the Flight Simulator crew and I also miss Jin being around as well.

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

Habbox Summer Spectacular when nvrspk4 was around was always a great laugh.As 98% of the time the majority of it was last minute and stuff didn't happen until 24 hours before the first date and I remember me and Scott helping him out so much one year it was crazy.

Also the drama that happened over the years such as:


- Jase faking his death and photos of the cuts on his legs being posted

- Grig and Marriot showing their bum on camera to each other and doing "various" things and that got leaked onto the forum.

- Some girl faked her own death and then made a room on Habbo with a sticky note saying sorry to everyone.

- The "user" that people used to argue a lot with in a specific forum asking HabboxLive Djs at the time (young girls) to do naughty things on webcam getting reported to the Police by Habbox and getting arrested for it.

- There used to be a image uploader site that a lot of Habbox users used to use and a member on this forum created it. I think like he was storing passwords in plain text or something and people accused him of using the details to hack them. Gosh, I can't remember the name but it was something stupid like that.

- When "Post Your" threads got banned fully including the desktop and setup one in the tech forum and people kicking off. Few people ended up getting a temporarily ban because of it. (This was ages ago not the more recent drama on such threads)

- Various cat fish stories over the years


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

I would love to see the General Management Team do the following:

• Improve Habbox presence on Habbo - @Wispur;
• Release of a new Habbox.com Version (Release of V7 and then a brand new design within 12 months after release)
• Release of modern and brand new forum skins (not re-colours)
