Breaking News: is this the end of fansites, goodbye Habbox?

[Okeanos]

Sure you can but 'esteemed habbo rights campaigner' makes you look like an ass. only my opinion too ofc!
As for fansites taking money, they aren't taking money. Habbos are donating money and they have every right to do what they wish with their own money. If fansites were making thousands of pounds of profit then I'd understand your objection but as the money is used to keep things going (Habbox makes a loss atm out of Jin and Sierk's own pocket), it means you've took this campaign to shut fansites down so we're back to making you look like an ass.

it was only a joke. sheesh! it might just be a coincidence that this happened after i spoke to powertoo about fansites taking money from users. my disagreeing with that is a perfectly legitimate position to take by the way.

Do you know if this applies to unofficial fan sites?!?!

*REMOVED* He has always been against fansites and campaining for months.... really lol. I'm sure fansites can come together to find a way to overturn this. If we give up our official status can we continue on accepting donations?

Why do you keep saying taking away?

The difference between a donator and non-donator is an Avatar Size and colour of username. In terms of content or anything else it is the same there is no difference in service it is all aesthetic.

It's not like we force or manipulate for donations for instance only allowing you to post 5 times a day before demanding you upgrade...

Furthermore.

$315USD is our monthly running cost.

About £18 -25 is what we might get from donator in a month. That money is used to fund credits for competitions.

i have no idea. ask mattg he will know more about it than me.

This also means that you have ****** over any charity that would have benefited from our VIP sale in December...

To have an opinion is one thing, to then spear head a campaign to that challenges the masses on an opinion that solely you and a few other misguided fools hold is another.

This is what Anders Brevik did.

if people want to give money to charity then they can do so without buying habbox donator. i didn't spear head any campaign (it was a joke!) but im not sorry this has happened.

If powertoo still holds fansite meetings perhaps its an opportunity then for matt and the other fansite reps to defend themselves against a stupid argument. You still haven't really said how fansites take money from users. They're donations! I'd be curious to see the impact of fansites closing down on Habbo's profits though.

We are waiting for a reply to the email we have sent after they sent us an email asking us to remove the payments.php page.

I think somebody's had a knee jerk up at the HQ. I'd be surprised if this decision actually took effect.

i dont suppose it will have any impact on their profits lol. i disagree with 'donator' because it means there is a possibility that fansite owners can make a profit (im not saying they do, but the possibility is there and im sure in the past habbox has made a profit). fansites were told years ago to stop selling VIP, i dont see how donator is any different.

literally no, it's the user's choice to donate the money, at no point have habbox EVER charged for services. Noone, i repeat NOONE, is forced to give money.
