Sulake cracking down on VIP

[Mint]

I dont know they will be making a lot still maybe not as much as they used to before this "credit crunch" but this rule was around before the credit crunch started to hit us hard anyways.

Well tbh if it isn't to do with business then this must just be out of pure evilness.

I think their excuse will be it helps stop scamming "people making forums charging for VIP and diappearing with the money". But thats rare very rare. So they have another reason which im sure they will not share with us.

I know alot of people who do that today

No they say that they don't want Fansites charging for premium service.

It's all 'bout the money
It's all 'bout the dum dum.......
And I don't think It's funny
to see us fade away
It's all 'bout the money
It's all 'bout the dum dum...
and I think we got it all wrong anyway

Yes i know but there has to be a reason that they want to stop fansites charging for premium services. ie scammin' could be the reason, but i believe that would be the excuse they would give when really they have another alternate reason mainly aimed to kick fansites in the privates area.

What can Habbo do besides make Habbox un-official? I don't think that it's that big of a deal.

I don't think that VIP is premium access. A regular member has access to all of the features a VIP member would, they are just altered, with the exception of the VIP sub forums (but we all know nothing goes on in there, so regular members aren't missing anything). I think premium access would be like, a regular member can only post 20 posts per-day, and a premium member can post an unlimited number of posts per-day.

If Habbo wants to be so **** about the use of premium access to forums, then they need to discontinue Habbo Club, because it's the same as premium access to a forum, HC ROOMS, HC BADGES, HC PRIVLAGES, and HC QUEUING. I think that Habbo Club is worse than ‘premium access’ because it is a way to make profit, ‘premium access’ is a way to keep a forum open.


Sorry for the double post, but I couldn't edit my last post and I was sure somebody would have posted before I was done this one!

So we should continue selling VIP using a loop hole, and risk Sulake finding out and destroying Habbox?

Sulake is able to say, "you don't play by our rules, we wont allow you to use the word "habbo" in your title, on your fansite, or use any of our graphics."

Habbo doesn't like the idea of people making money from their product. Even for extra features on a forum.

Sulake is really twisted, it just doesn't make sense. I mean, I understand if someone was selling a "Habbo" shirt for some money, but VIP features...that's ridiculous, flat out.
