New Fansites Announced!

[Hidden]

Didn't I say that we moderate it? A year ago, our moderation was not that good, that was because only about 1-2 people were active, and they weren't very active at that. Thanks to new contributors we are now very moderated. Every contrib is checked for vandalism.

We don't however, check against every other Habbo wiki since that would just be a waste of time, and it would be easier for other people to point it out when they have the chance so we may easily correct it.

I mean at Habbox Wiki do they check every contribution against our wiki or HabboHut's wiki? I don't think so :s

No because the people probably do the work themselves instead of slacking and doing nothing. If your moderation was so good they would do a backlog and check everything or updated it for betting information instead of 1 sentence for most of the pages.

I check quite a few Habbo Wikia pages against our own, the majority are usually furni based as I know Habbo Wikia isn't as advanced in that sector like ours (no offence, honestly). However, I will admit some pages might be better at Habbo Wikia, but not many and yes I do check. Habbo Hut's Wiki I don't believe is that good and has random pages, so I avoid going on it mainly.
@zombies; I thought you and Proms were best friends? You usually seem that way.

I genuinely thought that HabboKingdom and HabboCreation were very nice sites (and I still do) but upon hearing that one of them is owned by a hacker and the other isn't even a .com player I am extremely disappointed that some of the other sites (including mine HabboLicious) were sort of looked past, I understand that most of the other sites that were short listed are fairly new which probably caused them to be overlooked. However, you'd think that a little bit of research would have gone in to these sites that were chosen. The fact alone that the wiki site copies Habbox is quite shameful as the owner of that site tried to claim that we copied Hffm. *laughs* at least there was SOME satisfaction today. I truly hope that next time around there is more thought put in to which sites receive official status.

Agreed. I think it's a shame. However, what I think has happened is that Powertoo has bowed to pressure put on her by some of the fansite community and decided not to go with new and smaller communities and let them grow. People would have been angry if you and HabboFest got official just because you're new. What they can't see is that your site and HabboFest are ran by people who are already putting on events for the .COM community. I haven't seen HabboCreation do that at all. Everything on their site seems to mention foreign hotels more than .COM.

Ok well, we are in the process of redoing all furni pages so that they meet quality standards, and nice job for moderating your own wiki We just don't prefer to do the same for ours.

Also, a side note: Back in the era of about 2010-2012, it was mostly anonymous contributors adding to the articles. Obviously they will mess up (or some of them will at least). So once again, please contact us if you find anything else copied from your wiki.

We contribute to our own wiki... It's just that sometimes, other people want to contribute too, and sometimes, these contributions aren't as constructive as we hope they would be. Also Samanfa only mentioned about two pages she found. Two pages copied doesn't automatically mean horrible moderation/slacking off moderators. Of course, if she found A LOT more that happened recently, then it would probably be a problem.

It's very disappointing to know that's most likely the truth. Coming in to this I thought that people would be welcoming.. I was very wrong, it's a battlefield and apparently new sites are looked down upon in the fansite community. Powertoo clearly doesn't seem to realize by handing fansites that do nothing what they want they will proceed to do nothing. Meh!

j/s i've seen you openly admit in a room with coolchris that you steal habbox's content. he was talking about creating a script to automatically pull it in whenever they updated their pages. :p

... If what you are saying is true at all, i'm sure that it will be a lot more obvious than just two pages found. Please look into what you are typing so you don't make false claims without proper evidence to back it up.

several people in this thread have already said that the owner of habbowikia admitted it. i'm not sure how that isn't evidence enough to back it up.

I could probably find more if I wasn't up early, what I found more annoying (before people copied) was the fact Habbo Wikia stole Habbox's values lmao. That I think is a bigger problem than just two pages.

Also, some food for thought.

Here are our current stats:

Content pages 7,188

Pages (All pages in the wiki, including talk pages, redirects, etc.) 25,923

Uploaded files 12,192

Page edits since Habbo Hotel Wiki was set up 104,187
----
How are we going to backlog through over 100k edits, over 25k pages, and check over 12k images

Like I said before, it's not that we slack, it's just that it's not really that productive.

Yes but the way she worded it was that we set up something to steal EVERYTHING new added to Habbox.
