Breaking News: is this the end of fansites, goodbye Habbox?

[Lewis]

yeah as someone said above: donate to a different website, get something on that and FREEEEEEE Habbox vip!

[Kardan]

you might have a point if fansites were entirely open about their costs (and provided proof), and they only sold donator to met those costs (meaning that once they have sold enough donator to meet their costs for a year for example, they must stop selling it). the problem is there is no way to prove exactly what their costs are or when those costs have been met.

There is no way to prove exactly that you haven't murdered someone. Brb, calling police.

I don't think you understand the concept of rules, you actually have to break them to get into trouble. Just because you 'could' break them isn't a good enough reason.

I could do and steal a car right now... Does that mean I should go to prison?

@Hidden;

I just found something really handy for you:

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_th...t_organization

READ IT.

IT'S IN SLIDES, IT'LL BE EASIER FOR YOU TO DIGEST THE INFORMATION. KAY?

for anybody who cant be bothered reading slides:

Non profit organizations do not pay dividends to shareholders. It can have any type of purpose. Charities are generally non profit organizations that have the purpose of helping human beings in one way or the other. A charity can run a hospital, a soup kitchen, a homeless shelter, etc. A nonprofit can maintain an old lighthouse, an old battlefield, or a museum, etc. Thus while almost all charities are nonprofit organizations not all nonprofit organizations are charities.

i kind of agree that transactions should be transparent, but i'm completely against the removal of the donation system. i'll do your accounts habbox, trainee accountant *+*++*+*+

[Mr-Trainor]

Where is your proof that fansites aren't using the money for personal use? Okay done? bye

By looking at the invoices for the hosting and domain costs, and then the monthly income from the paid subscriptions.. not that difficult to prove? Plus ads revenue if you want.

if sulake were genuinely worried about habbox making a PROFIT from it then it shouldn't be too hard to keep accounts, right, for all costs, revenue, expenditure (not sure if this already happens) and just balance it at the end of every year


or say these are rough running costs for a year and once we have hit that in donations then we will take the payments page down

because that's something which will happen (the breaking even, not the taking the page down)
