Too old for Habbo(x)?

[buttons]

I think one of the big things for Habbo users on Habbox is that we only use it because our friends are there. I don't know about anyone else but I know that I wouldn't use Habbo anymore if I woke up tomorrow and Habbox had closed because I am only ever in HxHD or the events room; I don't go on because it's habbo, I go on to see my friends. Big difference imo.

So in that light I don't think anyone is too old to carry on chatting with their friends.

ive only ever used Habbo for socialising. couldn't tell u the first thing about rares or hotel managers and ive used Habbo since 2004. whenever people say "remember in 2006 when ____" "remember this Habbo" i never do. i always spent my time with friends. likewise with HxF, i was never staff until last year and was never interested in writing about habbo or organising events on Habbo etc. so i totally get that. but i don't really have friends left on here and im still here, i guess cause of memories? everytime someone comes back to HxF after years away i always get rly happy theyre back. but lots of people leave and go on to do better things with their life, so i always wonder why some people go away and some stay - am i lacking something in my life? i know that in the past when my life was good, i wouldn't feel the need to come on here, then when it got bad id be back.

I remember when I was younger and all my habbo friends would say 'o I'm leaving once I'm 16' or 'no way will I be playing
habbo at 18' now 19 I'm still here and I see a lot of my old friends still come on. I have friend who is 61 and she is friends with
a lot of older habbos from around 25-30 but we mainly use it to talk. She only plays habbo as her kid was a mod but shes lovely and shes a really good friend and I find with her being older she has a lot of wise advice. If you enjoy playing habbo and enjoy
talking to other habbos then I don't see why you shouldn't be on as long your not doing stuff you should be doing (I should be
studying.....) tbh I was surprised to find how many parents play habbo and their not even that old I couldn't imange myself
at my age now having to look after a child (I also don't have a man and cant really make a baby without one) But if you enjoy
playing whos to judge you on it whether your 14 or 60.

I mean its a good question, I don't really play Habbo as such, I mean I log on once every few weeks to see whats going on but thats it. All my pals are on skype, or facebook or even Habbox.

Habbox is another story, Ive been part of Habbox for 10 years, I think i struggle to let go off it as I have no reason to leave it, I barely post now sure, as the threads are dead and the moderation is ran like poorly, but I think I'll always log on and post here and there

When you have kids.

Not true I have two kids and I'm still a habbo by heart! In 26 years old and honestly habbo is just a part of my childhood! Its a get away for me when kids go to bed I can just go on their and catch up with friends for even an hour!

dont think age is an issue
u stay til you age
the you have kids and continue staying
then when your child is aged 13 (gotta stick by habbo way) you can hand them over some nice furni and a good username
best christmas present any child could wish for and you've got a good 25 habbo years to save up for it

i thinklike empired said most people stay for friends tho like with habbox you can get proper close to peeps and despite them being from the internet the peeps still mean a lot to you its not as easy as logging off one day n never talking to anyone again cos you do proper care

habbox is way of life for me its sad i cant leave it

I was going to say I'm here for the people, but I'm not sure quite how true that is since the people I mainly speak to on here changes quite frequently, with times where I don't really talk to anyone in great depth and basically just lurk. I guess before, I primarily used HabboxForum out of habit at a point, which consequently means I started to get to know people (especially since I used the HabboxForum Minecraft server back in 2012) and ultimately got sucked in properly. I don't actually think I really knew many people on the forum prior to that.
I'm still going to say I use HabboxForum and Habbo basically out of habit and boredom. There's no particular person(s) or content which keeps me coming back at all since I could just go to Reddit or somewhere more active in general. Having said that, perhaps I do enjoy that I can go in a thread and easily recognise people, unlike other online communities where it's just so active that you can't keep up (or, at least, I've never tried to).

It's funny that when I was 13/14 or so, I thought to myself I would stop using Habbo(x) by 16 as that seemed like the "cut off age" to me. Almost 5 years later...

Also on a bit of a side note, what method is used to find the average in that graph?

No there isn't an age limit as long as you were a kid when you first joined, it's weird if you're 24-25 and joining this now... Why you'd want to start being part of a kids game at that age worries me deeply.

Concerning Habbox staff cuz I think that's a whole other basket, it's one thing logging in and seeing whose online, it's another actually dedicating a lot of your time to it and bossing around people who are going to be way younger than you. I think the limit on that should be about 22... That's not concrete, but you may see what I'm getting at in that 18-20 you're at University (most likely) or starting a new job and you have more responsibilities. By 20-22 you're getting onto your feet, probs looking at other jobs and growing up. Past 22, you're becoming a fully fledged adult, own house (probs) or just graduating into the real world. After that, if you're still working as Habbox staff I think that's a bit strange, there's more to life beyond 21 that doesn't involve managing kids half your age. If that's what you'd like to do, maybe do it as a career in being a youth worker otherwise spending your free time doing that is a weeeeee bit strange.

Each to their own though, not everything is as black and white as that and some stick around because they have very few friends IRL, mental issues they hide or just don't feel accepted in the real world and come to hide on here which is totally okay...

so in answer, it depends on the person but general rule is if you've been here before an old age, it's okay to stick around a bit longer. if you've been here for ages and use this as a kind of job, you need to start moving into the real world but still allowing yourself the ability to stick around.

That's such a weird attitude to take. "Ew you should stop doing that hobby you enjoy because you're too old" just seems depressing. Nothing to be embarrassed about if you're 25 and still enjoy being HxHD staff, and I don't think it's anyone else's place to be telling you you should stop enjoying something because you should be getting a house lol!

Habbox has been an important part of my life - it's offered me friends when I was too socially anxious to leave the house and I'm so glad I found it. I'm sure there are a lot of people in fairly similar situations to me and it's nice to want to give something back to a community that's been such a big part of many of our lives.

If you've got to a point where you don't need Habbox anymore, Ryan, then I congratulate you and you're in a better place than I am. But don't tell the rest of us what we should/shouldn't be doing and then try and make up up for it with a quick "each to their own though lolz" bolted on at the end. We all go through things at our own pace.
