    I werent knocking the idea as it is good and would increase VIPs but as someone stated users do it themselfs as its quicker and better if Habbox dont for several reasons as i said in my other post.

    Though it is a good idea just a shame it wont happen officialy but you can buy VIP by forum members just make sure they are trusted (ask other members if they are!)

    Well we don't actually know that as the people responsible for making the decisions haven't said one way or the other so until that time it's worth discussing the options

    Well yeah, but we both know what the most common outcome will likely to be though.

    Maybe like 10HC's or even 50-100 Credits, People probably will want to buy it this way too, so you might get like 200 credits A DAY!
    If it wasn't for suggestions, they wouldn't be discussed. Nice idea, but sadly I don't think it will ever happen, the process would be long and time consuming

    Having said that, I think it would be a great way to promote VIP, by perhaps giving members the chance to win VIP on a regular monthly basis

    It's the quality of your posts that count, not the quantity!

    For some reason habbox has never run comps to win VIP but I've never bothered to ask why, maybe H0BJ0B knows? idk

    When DJ-3000 was Forum Manager, he complained that it was too much work lol. To give one member a month free VIP in my opinion is no work at all
    It wouldn't need to be a competition in the competition forum, it could be a reward for idea of the month or even most referrals

    I think its not going to work but I think if vip was given away in habbox events it would be good.

    VIP was allowed as a prize in the past and also rep points were once upon a time. as MissAlice said DJ-3000 didnt like it because it was to much work for him to add to one person once every week or 2 :S

    EDIT:

    I think adding vip as a prize would boost the comps as it makes ppl who no longer use habbo have a reason to enter them. Maybe a non habbo related comp once a month?

    I never saw it in the manager's handbook, so I assumed it wasn't allowed, but if it is and nvr/josh doesn't mind the "extra work " I don't see any reason why not. I dont expect habbox will miss the extra £1

    I'm sure the big guys at the hosting companies would love to get a room full of ducks in return for their expensive server charges???

    Nice idea but it's not going to work as the forum needs real money to support it.

    You can always buy VIP off other members , there's always going to be a risk of scamming so there isn't much Habbox can do .
