What made you join Habbox?

[Circadia]

When did you first join Habbox?
I listened to HabboxLive from August 2008 but joined the forum in March 2009
What made you join?
A DJ at the time was spamming in the Lido and I was like, well alright then I'll listen and ended up listening for the entire summer
Tell us a bit about what Habbox was like when you first became a member
A LOT more active like seriously, there used to be upwards of 100 people tuning into the radio and there would be Throne competitions at 200 listeners
Are you glad you joined or do you think you'd have been better off if you'd stayed away?
I'm glad I joined! I've met some great people over the years from when I was 12 till now. However, probably would've been better on my social life if I didn't join....
Who do you miss from when you first joined?
Soo many people! Like Samantha. Haynar and Alice, -TGIFriday and many others
What's the most memorable event for you during your time at Habbox?
The first HxSS I took part in in 2009 where Narissa totally rigged everything ffs :/
Also when Immenseman got me banned for the first time when I was in the Help Desk the ****...
What, if anything, would you change to improve Habbox?
I don't really know the only thing is the lack of activity but that's not only the fault of the forum but of habbo not being as desirable anymore

When did you first join Habbox?
I first joined Habbox in early 2005 after the closure of an American Habbo fansite (which I can’t remember the name of, but it was ran by two brothers who were both Hobbas)

What made you join?
I remember seeing it on the official fansite list and thought it looked like a good site to join. I used to love watching the animations the habbox tv staff made, especially the show called ‘cyanide’.

Tell us a bit about what Habbox was like when you first became a member.
Incredibly popular, god knows why since the site had a tacky orange layout that made your eyes sore.

Are you glad you joined or do you think you'd have been better of if you'd stayed away?
Glad overall, I guess.

Who do you miss from when you first joined?
People I never spoke to but used to see posting around. Mickey.Blue.Eyes or LesbianGhost for example, who for some reason are people I associate with Habbox despite having never talked to them. Oh, and Distad for obvious reasons.

What's the most memorable event for you during your time at Habbox?
The orange parasol protests in hallway 1 and 2, resulting in Habbox getting its official status stripped (iirc).

What, if anything, would you change now to improve Habbox?
More people, unfortunately it’s easier said than done.

When did you first join Habbox?
Have been a member of this forum 11 years oh! However I was also a member on the original forum. I joined that one in the March or April of 2004.

What made you join?
My early days on Habbo were spent trading, and this is where I met Sierk, he was my first habbox friend. He encouraged me to get involved with habbox and I would continue to say I had nothing to offer. Eventually I joined, and slowly between Sierk and jrh2002 I somehow got involved creating competitions.

Tell us a bit about what Habbox was like when you first became a member
I had never used a forum, so I had to be shown how to do the simplest of things that we take for granted today. How to make a post haha, how to create a thread. I was clueless but soon learnt how. The original forum had less than 200 members, and when most or all of it was lost, we had to start again. It was a slow start in the June but by the August we must have been close to 800-1000 members. Membership really began to grow and Habbox began to really take off. New forums and sub-forums were regularly being created presumably to meet the never ending demands of new members.

Habbox Radio was launched in the August/September of that year, and Mizki who was on holiday had no idea that Habbox was about to have its own radio, and that she would be the first dj.
I guess being involved in the very early stages was a good time for me.

Are you glad you joined or do you think you'd have been better off if you'd stayed away?
Great question! I was very young and naive, and I learnt many things. So yes and no.

Who do you miss from when you first joined?
What a difficult question. I am still in touch with a few so don’t want to single out anyone in particular. The early days of habbox when staff were so few meant we all had to work closely together, those days for me were the best, so anyone that worked for habbox during my time I miss.

What's the most memorable event for you during your time at Habbox?
Has to be Mizki on the radio, she was amazing, she really led the way and others wanted to mimic her success on the radio. Many of the dj’s were very good, but she was the best.

What, if anything, would you change to improve Habbox?
You can’t go back to the beginning, so you can only move forward. It is in the hands of management and its forward thinking members to do that.



Apologies for such a long post |-)

Was one of them called YaTwice or something like that by the way?

Yes! It was definitely Ya*Something*. I've been trying to remember their names for years now.

[xxMATTGxx]

Yes! It was definitely Ya*Something*. I've been trying to remember their names for years now.

There was definitely a Hobba called YaTwice and then become a Moderator as well. His brother, for some reason I think it was like Aaron or Arron or something but not sure. I remember the fansite but also can't remember the name of it. I swear he used to have like yatwice.com or something on the lines of that.

Oh man, I do miss those days.

I miss James he was not only my manager when i was a DJ here at Habbox he was a friend who you could always go to for advice or just for a general chat. oh i do miss it.

Whats the most memorable event for you for when you first Joined?
All events are memorable don't think its the event i just think its the people hosting the events and the people participating in the vents what make a good event.

Don't think id change anything Habbox is ran and maintained by a great managerial department of enthusiastic individuals who have a good eye to make the site the best potential it could be.

Tell us a bit about what Habbox was like when you first became a member
It was a lot more fun, no sly backstabbing or anything. It was a good place to be
Are you glad you joined or do you think you'd have been better off if you'd stayed away?
In terms of the friends I've made, I wouldn't want anything else. In terms of "oh where has the last 3 years of my life gone?" then I wish I'd have stayed away.
Who do you miss from when you first joined?
The community
What's the most memorable event for you during your time at Habbox?
finally being accepted into a friendship group as I felt a bit outsideish and alone when I first joined. Obv I had Jazz but I hadn't really got to know her friends at the time until we got a bit closer.
What, if anything, would you change to improve Habbox?
I'd ban the people who don't deserve access to the internet

When did you first join Habbox?

i started listening to habboxlive in '07 and listened for a few years before signing up on here in '09

What made you join?

i came across it due to habboxlive doing competitions and stuff for furni/coins so decided to join properly to make the most out of it and win as much stuff as possible. i didn't realise how attached i would become and was pleasantly surprised when i ended up making loads of friends and loved the community

Tell us a bit about what Habbox was like when you first became a member.

it was great! no one really knew about me straight away as i'd just go places like the help desk and watch people lol but once making friends and joining the events department i felt it was really easy to integrate with people in the community and i loved that. was very different to any other place i'd been on habs

Are you glad you joined or do you think you'd have been better of if you'd stayed away?

i'm glad i stayed for the majority! i just wish it was easy to leave now as it's boring af but impossible to leave!

Who do you miss from when you first joined?

wiki, roxy, mathew, sammify lol

What's the most memorable event for you during your time at Habbox?

don't really have one particular thing but i loveeed being asst. events manager. the department was so fun to work in and everyone was able to have a laugh with one another. if i could turn back the habbox clock i would do it all over again, so many amazing pixel memories haaa!

What, if anything, would you change now to improve Habbox?

What made you join?

i actively lurked for a while before but i do distinctly remember habbox from a while ago fr its rare values. i came across hxf during the huge dtl fiasco and i joined because i thought the community was nice and funny lol.

Tell us a bit about what Habbox was like when you first became a member.

thrs and obvious difference between the "higher" and "lower" caste of habbox and the spam clique was scary as hell.

id already known habbox was declining a little and i think the only events i had ever been in before i joined was samantha.'s ones and i only attended super ocassionally

Are you glad you joined or do you think you'd have been better of if you'd stayed away?

i dont regret it and if i had stayed away i probably wouldnt even still be playing habbo. id played habbo on-off for the past few years and i think fansites had really helped me to settle down for a year now.

Who do you miss from when you first joined?

um idk the frequent posters i guess @sex; @vls; andddd @Daltron; altho i speak to him n then in habz

What's the most memorable event for you during your time at Habbox?
