Calling UK Habbos!

[Tyler]

Ok... They go to your own house and watch you play habbo.

[Daltron]

No but seriously. I wouldn't want to take them to arcades/casinos because I can guarantee that the research will then lead to something like "Habbo promoting gambling at a young age, teens addicted" and then Hbabo will disable dice and ban the rooms :/

If I take them to a hangout I can guarantee that something will happen and they will go all Channel 4 on the situation

18+ Rooms consist of "Cool, where you from" - again making people look like pedos...

Game rooms, they may see scamming if noobs are hosting, or even bullying...

Might take them to a death run, and watch me rage... That would be fun :/

I am pretty sure this research is internal, they won't bring anything illegal to the public spectrum, they will subliminally make it more prominent to profit from it.

I know but, what if something does become of it? Imagine being one of the Habbo's that stopped casinos and caused a hotel mute again

[Inseriousity.]

Quite an intrusive research project. That's not to say it's dodgy or anything but research methods are carefully planned out before any research and it just seems a little bizarre given the subject matter to invite people into your house and have them observe you playing Habbo when it could've easily been done over Habbo or something like Skype.

Well mine just came....

Dear Tyler,

Good to hear from you.Thanks for your interest in our research
project. Please find attached an Information Statement and
Registration Form for the project.

As you will see in the form as you are aged 15 or under we require
parental/guardian consent to interview you. I have attached a
registration form for your parent or guardian to fill in and return if
they are happy to give consent having read the Information Statement.
If they return the form I will then phone them to arrange a convenient
meeting time for the interview. Please note that I live about 1 hour
away from York.

If you or your parent/guardian have any other queries I will be happy
to answer them.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Definitly some sort of weird fettish going on here.

I replied and asked if I could do mine over Skype/Teamviewer on a high speed internet connection :/

[ReallyOkay]

Seems like a huge waste of time to me. Habbo isn't even doing anything innovative or exciting in the virtual world market. The experience people have in game has literally not changed since 2010 when wired was introduced. Unless you count removing social features, which isn't progressive at all. Best of luck to Janet tho, have fun going house to house.

[Stadiums]

I replied about it but when I found out that she had to come to your house I thought maybe not..

[Yawn]

wtf.....y only northerners im rly worried now they will **** up the hotel for the rest of us

[Michael]

this reminds me of yurre - did anything ever come from her?
