Habbox is sponsored by...

sold your souls to kazopark lol
but i suppose jin doesnt really care about habbox... its more about the money he can get from it :L

This is quite illogical and quite nonsensical in my view. How can you make assumptions that Jin doesn't care about the site and has 'sold it's soul to kazopark'? You have no more inside knowledge of Habbox to back up what you say is true than I do. It would be like me saying Habbox has sold it's soul to 'Plenty of Fish' or any other of the advertisers that Habbox has. This forum has a Runescape section as do many other habbo fansites so what's the difference?

[hah]

ontopic... yeah im sure habbo arent happy

What does it matter, they can't do anything and it's against the faniste way. So what's the point in this thread, sure they may not be happy but they can't do anything about it.

To be quite honest, why is it such a big deal, it isn't as if anybody moaned when IMVU was being advertised?

I think you mean it's not against the 'fansite way'? Totally agreed. This is pretty much a fuss about nothing in my opinion and It's up to the owners what they want to do as it's their site.

Personally I don't see Habbo being particularly approving of this for one of their official fansites, but they can't really do anything because ads like this would pop up naturally from things like adsense anyway.

Presumably this sponsorship deal is worth more than Habbox bring in from adsense otherwise they wouldn't have done it, so this can only be a positive thing.

Plus I don't think people quite understand the costs of running something like this .

I think General Management need to remember Habbo banned us from having a ClubTropica section and threatened Habbox with all sorts. That was when ---MAD--- was GM so you've all probably forgotten. Personally, I don't care. If the revenue is helping the forum, which it must be else I'm sure Jin (who has Habbox at heart) wouldn't have agreed such a deal.

How far does £500 get you in terms of running this site? Obviously I can't predict what Sulake might say about the sponsorship when it gets to them but if they did actually revoke official status I can see that as being pretty damaging in the long run, especially with the merge. Would be good to know an estimate of what it costs to keep Hx going before coming to any decision as to whether we agree with the sponsorship or not. On a completely non-commercial level, I think the game itself looks quite good.
