Indeed. I remember a few years ago when the majority of users were over 16. Now we have users as young as 8 playing the game.

So do we all quit playing at a certain age? Perhaps we should all quit at 16 or 18? Leave all the younger players to fend for themselves?

A high number of the MODs on Habbo began playing long before they were 18 and chose to apply previously to become Hobbas and since then to become moderators, they understand the game from every aspect. Now it seems to me that some younger players lack any appreciation of the fact that older players are probably more experienced players, and will therefore have a greater understanding of the game, something quite important that they can pass on to younger players.

I wasn't going to enter into an arguement in that thread, but I did find that quite a few posts were disrespectful to others, and this is what made me realise an exclusive forum for 'maturer' members may well be a good idea

That looks like an interesting thread, where is it located?

Good idea, I should of thought of that

But, you've got to admit, there are also some 16+'s too that act immature like some younger players, so it should basically be called the 'Mature Forum'

Varta, you should read the full thread in future.

If you've read the rest of the thread you will see that we do think it should be called a mature forum

. In my very first post I explained the test to get in is based on maturity not age.

Hmmmm...

A thread with 10 pages?

I just didn't have the time

But good idea, hope they take this into concideration

Go to options and make it 40 posts per page.

If you're going to suggest something it is always a good idea to see if somebody else has already suggested it. But I suggested it in my very first post that we judge on maturity not age so in this case it's not that you didn't read the rest of the posts that mattered, it was the first post that had the idea in it.

All I said was I think the announcement saying he resigned should say he resigned and that he wasn't making a fuss when he made that thread. Oh and you told me you wern't bias and would hire people you didn't like, you don't want me to agree with you

?

Actually you posted on the forum saying I unfairly denied Ross a trial that *someone* forgot to give him and tried to get him in mid trial where I said it was half over anyway. But I think we're past that so no use quibbling in the past

Actually its very easy for us, if it was a usergroup, to set a simple query to search for "UG: Mature Forum" AND "1 Infraction / Warning Point". I could bring up a list of all of them in under 10 seconds. Removing them might take longer depending on how many there are, but its fairly simple. It would be done weekly perhaps, but it would still be done.

Personally I don't think its even the age thing that drives people away. Its the rapidly shifting maturity level of the game and its community. Not only are people over 18 driven away, a lot of mature 16 year olds are discouraged by the childishness and are forced away, creating a downard spiraling community.

This too is very true. But I still believe that too much of an emphasis is being made throughout the thread. The fact is that the majority of Habbos that are 18+ are mature, but there are some immature ones, and there are experienced but young players.

Welcome to the HabboxForum of today. A lot of the members here are decent, but some create a less-than-perfect atmosphere.

(I am such a pessimist

Just because someone has a main market does not mean its the only market. I don't know if you have them in the UK, but Uggs and Crocs are aimed at women. But men wear them. Ok, maybe that's a bad example. But are adults not allowed to play videogames?

Haha, once again though, I think the mature younger population was slowly driven away. Even the ones who wanted to keep playing once they hit ages feel this pressure not to taboo by being on it after a certain age, because they feel a certain peer pressure that they shouldn't be on Habbo or HabboxForum anymore. I've seen it many times.
