a few things..

i know, i was just you'know, putting it out there that it is really only going to be useful for the british people after the merge (and when the WC finishes)

And this forum will always have a majority British people. To think we are going to get 100's of members from other countries isnt realistic.

with an attitude like that ofcourse we won't. Management want to go international and having something that is aimed mainly at UK users won't help too much..

I agree

I don't understand how a World Cup related event will only be aimed at UK members. Just because Australia is rubbish at footy doesn't mean there isn't plenty of other countries that would want to get involved; Spain, Germany, Brazil etc and I wouldn't be surprised if interest grew in the USA once the tournament takes off because they haven't got a bad side. Anyway even if the thing mentioned in all those threads isn't accepted, I'd be very surprised if Habbox wasn't planning some big things in order to use the World Cup to its advantage - after all it is one of the biggest global events there is, so this Habbo merge couldn't have came at a better time as far as fansites are concerned. From what I can tell about that prediction thingy, it would influence people to come online daily to keep track of the tournament and their entries and if there was a reward at the end of it for the winners, surely that is an incentive right there. Considering we are talking about an automated program, I can't think of much else that could take place which would match it in terms of it being interactive without absolute bucket loads of manual input on the part of staff. Just my thoughts, and I don't follow the second point, sorry.

Theres a difference between being realistic and being optimistic. We will pull in lots of foreign visitors but that will be habbox.com
You have to remember, they also have their own existing fansites. Members from this forum wont suddenly join other hotels fansites after the merge will they?

I fully agree. Its fully automated. You can see who gets the most points overall and per league. Its not only British people who follow the English leagues. Its just an extra add on for sports members to enjoy.

The second one was point number 2 here: http://www.habboxforum.com/showthread.php?t=644244

He was talking about using the football add-on for english leagues.

It's only being used for the WC anyway.

@sarg: I said after the world cup. We (non British) won't have much need for it at all...

@danda: seeing as habbox is the biggest fansite we will deffinetly get more members.

Ofcourse we will get new members, thats for sure, but to think it will be huge numbers is just not realistic.

I agree

But we aren't going to make a separate site for international users though, there's a bit of a difference.
