Sulake cracking down on VIP

[Previewer]

I just got a reply back from Redtiz who says "You can't sell premium services on a site USING Habbo content or images etc."

For those who say to make HabboxForum sans-Habbo images, we would also have to remove all links to HabboxForum on Habbox and HabboxLive.

if you removed the link we would need some other type of advertisment?

[cunning]

There is no need to change site name but habbo may force HxF to removed all images including alts in a habbo style and maybe even any reference to habbo :s


Perhaps the forum could be owned by another person........ (just change name and address on domain name etc to anything) habbox.com distance itself as much as is needed from hxf.

Personally I would tell them to get F***** and see just how far they are going to take it. I imagine they would ban sierk's habbo accounts and demand their images are removed :s

After selling something for over 4 years and then habbo deciding it is not allowed would most likely be laughed out of court in they were stupid enough to take it that far.

There is no way Habbox could keep running without its donations so i dont think there is much option but to ignore the morons at habbo and let them do their worst.

Habbox is the most popular fansite in habbos history and so many people use it imagine if the domain got into the wrong hands? If it was pushed so far habbox had no option to stop donations I would sell the domain name to a po.rn site or site that advertises po.rn sierk would make a packet from such a popular domain and imagine the damage such a move would do to habbo and sulake alot more damage than habbox getting a few donations each month.

I am sick to death of Habbo and their money grabbing tactics and now bullying ways towards sites that help promote them. Imagine if all the fansites closed there are so many habbos who only go on habbo due to their jobs on fansites because they enjoy their fansite work more than a game that has limited things to excite us and keep you going back
Sulake/Habbo you should remember that without such sites you would not be anywhere near as popular as yo are and this move is not only a pathetic money grabbing attempt but also a huge kick in the teeth to the habbos who have stuck with you over the years.

Look at file sharing and torrent sites all this sort of crap takes years to get to court and sorted out. As i said if habbo complained about this 4 years ago OK but as they didnt they are looking petty ******* ******s which infact they are.

I have alot of time for Habbox and especially HxF and although in my opinion it lost its way a little the last year or so I will do what I can to help defend it and keep it up and running.
I have saved no end of important things from habbo over my 7 years there and some of it is very negative towards sulake/habbo I dont want to say what just yet but will be trying to get my limited english working enough to write a good article that will be far more damaging to sulake than a few fansites that get donations to help keep running. I will see how it goes over this and then if they continue to bully I will be emailing every newspaper, magazine and anything else i can think of and im sure some would investigate and take up the story.

Habbo you have sunk to an all time low for you and believe me that is low.
I hope we can find out who exactly made this decision and the reasons be explained to us all.


I suggest Habbox emails all other official sites offering vip etc and make their own list of habbo related sites and all resign from habbo's crappy dictatorship (official list) as being official means jack **** since callie left people either loved her or hated her but she really did alot for the community including alot of fansite events etc.

@club habbo
You should fight them with the other sites instead of doing what they ask unless they have promised you all another badge for being good? :rolleyes:

This is good, I like it. +rep

Remove all links sure but remember this

You can use third party advertising

Advertise HabboxForum.com in the banners on Habbox and Habbox Live?
of course HxF might need to change ownership.



When habbo demands the banners are removed take out 3rd party advertising maybe even approach other Habbo Fansites?

[leah]

I still don't see how they can justify habblefm being allowed to sell VIP... They shouldn't have favorites?Can't we complain about it or something?

Habbox is huge now so if habbo can damage them to knock them down they will I am sure after december the 1st any sites still selling VIP will be reported and if its not removed then the others should just start selling it again lol

[leah]

Welll habbo are just plain daft if they're jealous of a site that help promote them. Im sure Lost_witness PMd habbleFM owner and said it was okay for him to continue selling VIP. If they do continue then habbox should do the same.

For those who said make another servive, website, forum etc. that will be perceived to be not affiliated to Habbox is a dull view, because that will mean even more money in setting it up- so I wouldn't view that as being profitable. This move may also mean Habbox may eventually have to remove this 'Want your ad here? Click here or send an email to [email protected]', because in Sulake's terms that would be counted as for example Habbo's or people paying for a service within the website, which is just plain stupid. The only reason the V.I.P is targeted is because they want the money, this is a monopoly as would be expected, sure they want to and will try and monopolise as much as possible, especially the money 'linked' to Habbo.

I also think this V.I.P issue was one of the reasons that one of the most popular CA fansites (Habbo Remix) has just recently lost its official status. But I think the most they can do is remove official status, they really from what I am seeing on other hotels aren't prepared to close such things down.
