    It still requires a lot of financial input from the admins. Jin contributes most, I think.

    You need a better server (Generally CPU) when you have a lot of traffic or the server will crash and they have to pay for a shoutcast server and for the main site hosting and then comes the licenses. Such as the license to broadcast music which is several hundred pounds per year and then there's VB, yearly liscense is around £50 and the security updates are £30. Trust me Advertising and Donator don't cover it.


    @Robald I thought that Jin paid nothing to be Co-Owner in the end? Or did he?

    What do you mean? He didn't buy the position of co-owner. He's always effectively been an unofficial co-owner anyway and has always contributed financially. It's none of my business though really.

    In Jins defence, he does work, go to uni, work at Habbox, have a life, a girlfriend, and likes to spend hours talking on msn lol.

    What more do you want him to do? He puts up money to help keep the most popular habbo based forum going, hell he doesn't even NEED to care about it, you should show more appreciation for what he does do for the site rather than what you believe he should be doing. From when I spoke to him while I was an smod/manager he's a really nice guy and is always there to answer questions or deal with major problems when needed.

    by the way, when i was AGM sierk was making profit. i don't know if that's still the case but he told me that himself although he also told me he put in a lot of his own money into habbox in the early years.

    I don't think Habbo wants Fan sites being profitable any more...
