    So is this the same promotion thing as Habbox or something different? Because Puhekupla seem to be actually promoting their website, where as for Habbox it seemed like they just got picked as an event room, and it just happened to be associated with Habbox... I mean, Puhekupla did the smart thing of putting their name on the badge... Habbox should have done this (if it is indeed the same promotion...)

    The original badge design for Habbox's badge did have the full name. Personally I think it's a bit tacky, isn't much of an advertisement if people aren't going to wear it because they're not really associated with Habbox (or Puhekupla in this case) so the name plastered over it puts them off whereas if you do see a badge you don't recognise you normally hover over it and see what it's for (which would advertise the site)/ask the person what it's for (which would advertise the site if they said where).

    Not entirely sure how their room promotes their website. It doesn't appear at first glance like you actually need to use it to get the badge (a flaw that, I think, is going to be the case for a lot of fansites when Habbo are so insistent on keeping it on-client). I thought the maze was quite inventive in getting people to use Habbox (the telephrase room getting people tuned into HxL is probably the easiest example). The fansite spotlight thing is also a new thing so we'll be much better prepared for the next one.

    I think the fact that they had a group gate meaning people had to join the group before they could enter the game, which I guess Habbox could have done. I wouldn't have joined the Puhekupla group if they hadn't done that .

    Not online very often

    Regardless what the name on a badge actually does and even if the full name is tacky, it still looks far better than Habbox's does lol.

    Considering our group was new and was 200-300 members and getting into the high 4,000's - It was pretty good going. In regards of the whole "badge" issue - There will be more chances for Habbox and all the other fansites

    That's clearly just a matter of opinion though. I don't really like it and won't bother going to get it and I'm not just saying that cos I'm management at Habbox, I liked Habbcrazy's valentines one.
