    who bloody cares about habbo helpers. I think getting the hotel safe and implementing better moderation as well as stopping the press from filming any more inappropriate behaviour is a bit higher up the scale of importance than habbo helpers. He also confirmed on his twitter it was to stop any more sexual conversations to take place.

    find it fascinating how invested people are in the hotel. you would hope (or at least i would hope maybe i'm wrong) that a mute would encourage users off the site into more productive things.

    i have been using habbo since i was 10 years old (11 years) and i would say that i was most drawn to the website in my more darker times of my life (when i left uni, when i'd fallen out with friends, when i was lonely) and i think it does contain many vulnerable users who are avoiding the outside world for some reason or another. for this reason alone they should've stepped up security and safety months ago.

    the adverts they used were unacceptable and inappropriate (i used to get tonnes on this forum alone of "find ur d8 lolol") and the furni and quests they introduced only encouraged less than acceptable behaviour.

    i don't think they'll be able to fix this now, and i think it's always been a problem of the hotel. i remember being 13 (when security on the hotel was far, far, far greater and moderation was basically in overkill) and having people offer me money for going on webcam or cyber-sex.

    i don't think it's the minority ruining it for the majority either, i think the people talking about it here and on other forums are all part of the fansite world so that is the side they see of habbo. it's not the entirety, outside of events and help desks' there is a massive amount of inappropriate rooms and discussion happening.

    i don't think habbo will close, i think it should though and possibly rebrand and/or split the hotels. they either need to make it a 16+ website and have the behavior OR go for the younger teen audience and moderate excessively.

    ye but some people want to show their support for sulake, i've not run off elsewhere as I know it's nothing to do with me. Hopefully it'll make the paedos and cyberers run off elsewhere though. OFC they should have stepped up security, but they got typical doing-well-want-more-greedy company mode.

    the adverts they used were unacceptable and inappropriate (i used to get tonnes on this forum alone of "find ur d8 lolol") and the furni and quests they introduced only encouraged less than acceptable behaviour.

    They've taken all the adverts down now though, stopped the kissing booth animation and stuff, I wouldn't be surprised if they got rid of it all together. They only implemented those things as the users asked for them in the first place....

    On any website, though, there's paedos asking for topless pics, but there's never any reports on them! Being a specific young-teenage game, they're going to be targeted more, but that means that they need to stop encouraging it, which they haven't done so far.

    i don't think it's the minority ruining it for the majority either, i think the people talking about it here and on other forums are all part of the fansite world so that is the side they see of habbo. it's not the entirety, outside of events and help desks' there is a massive amount of inappropriate rooms and discussion happening.

    You don't think it's the minority? You think more than half of the hotel do all the sexual stuff? Cos they're the people that are supposedly 'ruining' it for the rest of us!

    Are Habbo still replying to the help tool and sending out emails?
