The Fansite Way

[Okeanos]

At everyone saying 'they could close up down because of our name' - I think your forgetting we are not Habbox we are Hab-box. Also I think we are taking this into extreme measures. We've just got to wait and see what Habbo say to the emails sent regarding this rule.

it has nothing to do with pronunciation, habbo is a trademark protected by copyright so legally sulake can pull the plug on habbox whenever they like

Easy Way around this:
Say your not a fansite for Habbo UK, but your a fansite for Habbo USA.

Habbo USA actually think of the users, not making money.

Since these rules aren't posted on Habbo USA, and your a fansite for Habbo USA, you have no way of knowing these rules.

Won't Work.

Every image from Habbo is copyrighted, they own the images and if you're using the images without permission then you will be breaking the law and that is something that Sulake can do, if your mum is a lawyer she should know a business is right if they have copyright and Sulake will obviously put copyright on anything they publish because they own it and don't want it to be stolen

Ahh but the images have no copyright signals on them.

We need to ask ourselves why they have set this rule... Is it because they don't like the idea of another site making money because of Habbo? Or is it to do with payment issues - such as scamming or whatever. Which is obviously not true since we've evidently got what we payed for.

Yeh, I think you need to ask yourself, if your fingers are really using there time well.

No way habbox could run without vip or advertisements. it cost well over 500$ a month to run habbox and its sites, and vip and ads dont even cover the costs.

$500?!

It says You cannot pay the website for VIP

It seems you want VIP really badly (for your internet egos), From a web content providers point of view I can understand the point of VIP.

My way around it

Paying HabboX for VIP access is a No No with real money.

BUT

Why do you not install a vBulletin hack where you can use credits to buy membership upgrades. Infact you are not selling VIP access for real money but selling it for virtual credits.

I hear you ask "How do I aquire these credits?"

Well, one or two or more members have ALOT of credits and willing to sell them for paypal (WOuld have to scrap the texting as people would see through that) and people in turn exhanche them for a new usergroup.

But to keep habbo happy you would need to award .00000000000000000001 of these credits to each post (You would set a new membership upgrade to 3 credits so you cannot earn from just posting).

And before I hear "My mums a lawyer and that wont work" I have studied law and it a fesiable work around, and from my reading of their rules this would work.

Dear child, when will you learn that sellnig habbo credits via paypal is illegal!

Ahh but the images have no copyright signals on them.

What the hell? Copyright Signals?

Umm, All images are property of Sulake Corporation Oy. I have no idea where you got something called a "Copyright signal" from...

Selling habboX credits are not, Habbo Credits are!

And its clear you did not read my post I said "Install a vBulletin credit hack" not "sell habbo credits"

I also looked in statu (English law) and It doesnt say that it is illegal to sell habbo credits!

[CHA!NGANG]

If Habbo find out though, they will ban you probably as they frown upon selling habbo furniture/credits over sites such as ebay. And HabboX is a Habbo eXpert, Habbox is the site, sorry but it always confuses me when people do that hehe As for two posts above, probably meant symbols.

- Charge users for premium services such as VIP access.
So it should be towards forums I guess.

[nvrspk4]

Yes but since last year's Christmas VIP there's been no word of the money going to Charity, nothing about where the money is going or where it's gone.

I wouldn't like to make an accusation but perhaps the money has been forgot about or ended up somewhere?

No we sent the money in but Sierk lives in the Netherlands so we didn't get a letter from Livestrong

[leah]

The rule is pathetic ;/

Ahh does it state in Terms and conditions?

Anyway we could just get the images put them on pain then edit them a tiny bit, then upload them on imagehsack.us, then they are ours?

Selling habboX credits are not, Habbo Credits are!

Shoulda let Immenseman or someone from UK did it so they got a letter like 8F8 did.
