What would you be doing now if you didn't join Habbo(x)?

[j0rd]

Alike Calvin, I think I wouldn't of been as interested in computing which meant I probably would have taken a different course in college.
I do regret joining Habbo in a way as I think it has changed my life a bit, regarding jobs etc.

Chances are, College assignments (which i dont have any to do)

Habbox has made me more Mature compared to what i originally was, especially when i joined the forum (I'm sure all current moderators know what i mean by that especially after i posted something, i was basically a troll.)

Habbox doesnt affect me on the side of things i want to do, if i want to go out, i go out.
I go to work, and i do teenage things, - cuz im just a teenage dirt bag baby (8).

Hard to say. This question is like asking "what would you be doing if you didn't eat that toast a few years ago". Still alive, breathing and doing something else to waste my time

Looking at my runescape window.

It's hard to tell whether habbo or habbox has made an impact if you've been here for years, I'm not sure if they had a significant impact but the internet as a whole has. I used to be loud and fun too before I used habbo/hxf but they're not the cause of it. I use them (well not habbo anymore) because I'm anti social, I'm not anti social because I use them I only began to use them both frequently when I started becoming more self conscious and hating the world... so I wouldn't say it has given me more or less confidence like others have o.o. All my interests came about before I used the forum and even before I used the internet so I'm sure I'd still be doing the same. It's not as though anyone on here has ever influenced me on any of my hobbies but I know I wouldn't be in to South Korea without the internet......
Hxf is the only forum I've used where you can actually talk to people on a personal level on different topics (becoming increasingly harder to do on here now :/) compared to other forums where it's one certain topic only. I guess it has allowed me to write my own opinion and read the view of other's which is pretty impossible to talk to with my friends as we share no common interests and because I'm quite a private person irl both the forum and the people here have let me get some things off my back, so I don't think it's been a waste at all! I'm more confident in my writing more but I'm not sure if that's because of how much debates or answers I've given on here or not, maybe it would have happened without doing any of them but it may have been a help. Now if you were to ask me where I'd be without the internet rather than habbo(x) then I'd probably be a care-free chav with no direction in life...


oh one thing the forum taught me was to use your/you're correctly, thanks Wootzeh for constantly drumming it in to people's heads..

[Inseriousity.]

I'd probably just be on another Habbo fansite wasting my time

I don't think Habbox has really taught me anything for real life as I could say I'm more confident now, which I am, but only online! It doesn't transfer over to real life, unfortunately! I used to be such a pushover but I defend myself more now and I'm sure there are some (assistant) general managers who wish I was still the pushover!

[Narnat,]

Nothing would be different, I don't really come on much anyway so it wouldn't make a big impact.

I don't know what I'd be doing right now that's different - but I'd say Habbox definitely got me interested in coding and software/web development. I was pretty much a computer addict before I found Habbox (was well young init) but I'd never really had an interest in developing anything, but seeing people way back when such as nets in the d&d and tech forums definitely got me interested.

I'd probably go as far as to say I might not have ever developed an interest in web/software dev and further computing and so wouldn't have chosen a Computer Science degree if it wasn't for HxF! :p

[Zenci]

I wish I've never touched this Habbo at all. Too much time wasted. The only thing that I gained by playing all these years was improving my English, as it is not my main language.

As already said, it's really hard to try and think what I'd be doing, and how habbox has helped.
I suppose, from the days when I used to do graphics and alts, it's helped me accept constructive criticism better and I guess in the early days it helped me feel more comfortable speaking to strangers and making new friends too. Nowadays I don't really do either of those, so makes me wonder why I'm still here lol.
