R.I.P. official fansites!

[Kyle]

Considering it was only announced today via the developer's blog is it any wonder that there has been no article yet? You can't expect everything to be done STRAIGHT AWAY don't be so impatient!!!

It's a change. It'll be interesting to see if it works well.

....what?


Exactly my point. This information is only accessible by fansite goers, and by those who visit the Sulake page or follow the fansite group on Twitter (fansite goers again). The article wasn't posted on Habbo itself, so Habbos that want to visit a new fansite would go to the official Habbo Fansite group, only to find a list of official fansites and stickied official fansite threads.

i never wanted the fansite badge though lol... awks

As I tried to originally explain, yes they will indeed see the official Fansite list and will click on the links if they are interested in Fansites. But they are likely to somehow see some form of information that mentions the Fansite changes? :S - If the news gets too old, I'm fairly sure it would have got around the hotel rather quickly so that a lot of people would know about the changes and be able to inform new people.

Also, Sulake do post articles about Fansite events ya know. It can't be "singling out" if they are willing to post articles about Fansite events each month, I expect more people visit the news articles as opposed to the official fansite page anyway.

It's a change that can be changed again and it's not the end of it. There's more to come if we go by what Jason tweeted not that long ago, this is just the start of it!

I still see no reason it needed to be published on the Sulake site anyways?

Why not? It's their site. Surely they can post about it if they want to - That's why they have a blog!

That was when Kitano was involved with the "official fansite program."

God, +Repping you so much >.<

Oh also [@]@J-Raviv[/@]; I'll think you'll find that if we do emigrate to the Habbo.se webpage layout in the future, you'll see that there is no link for Fansites at all.

And how do you know it's going to be completely different with Grecian? He only recently became in charge of fansites - you have to give him a break for not fitting all your needs at once.

You'll also find that the .se layout is still a work in progress, and not the final one we are expected to receive. And if Grecian does it for every fansite, it'd anger a lot of non-fansite going Habbos since half of the 40 page Fansites - ideas thread is about them not wanting to see a bunch of Habbos fansites promoted with events over Habbo organized events.

It's still a work in progress indeed, but I'm fairly sure they would have placed "Fansites" on there already because it's just such a simple link and page - and if they didn't plan on adding a page, then they wouldn't have put it there.

Also, I find this very... bold... that people claim they don't want fansite-organised events posted in a Sulake article yet people at the same time (such as yourself) want Fansites that aren't official to receive more recognition? Not everyone is going to reach an agreement, and Fansite events have been advertised loads in the past - I highly doubt they'd just stop advertising them considering they want a "closer relationship" with them.

Just because half of a 40 page thread says so, doesn't mean it will happen.
