ClubHabbo lost its official status?

[Barmi]

How can they be removed for getting hacked?!

*Shrugs* Quite a few of the more popular fansites have had at some point such a security compromise, with similar content. If this is a case, official status would be extremely volatile from now on.

BUT... we don't know if this is the reason. This thread is absolutely packed with speculation, and Mr Chu has not heard anything yet. I'm amazed at how the "know-it-alls" are aware of issues that haven't been announced (i.e. the reason official status was revoked). IMO it's best to wait for SkaterChu to receive an email on the matter, before assuming we're all right.

Edit: Pyro, you speak sense, yuhuh!

(just before i say this, Jordy this isn't aimed at you, it's just a rant)

Well, obviously they shouldn't. What should happen to sites which were removed for something bad (not inactivity etc.) is they should have to wait 1 or 2 years like Habbox had to and if they made it into this official vote, I would quite readily be very very annoyed.

Looking at CH forums, it's clear to see a lot of their users are very stereotypical and average habbos. You're more likely to find a habbo which is quite new to the hotel to be listening to CH than one which has been around a while, and a lot of the time it reflects in the forum, site and DJ's.

Its all to do with the way they advertise. They just shout out in rooms and people listen because its things like "Tune in win a rare" when new Habbos have no chance when 200 other people are listening.

ok, regarding hits.

I think there will be a steady decline unless they go back to the days where they had to flood rooms LOTS.

Habbox was popular after losing official status because they have their rare values so newer users are directed here because they have a need for the site.

However, ClubHabbo gets lots of hits because of their radio and because this isn't a need but an extra they will experience a decline in numbers as well as newer habbos will not notice them via the list, but because habbos directing them there, which they would probably just ignore.

They may or may because when TH was removed it still got listeners by offereing thrones at like 400 listeners etc.

How can they be removed for getting hacked?!

It was much more than that. (I have heard) That staff were trading pictures and the hacker found out and used it as evidence but do not quote me on this.

These 'super sites' always become unofficial. By Super Sites I'm referring to exetremly big fansites which are, clubhabbo, thinkhabbo, habbox. I think HabboNation will come official and then become the next clubhabbo

All these listeners go from thinkhabbo to clubhabbo to presumably habbonation.

Just Habbonation's layout is awful and I've never been to keen

I love HabboNation And the layout isnt that bad is it? If not then just say what you want and Nayth will probs do it

And HI BARMI ♥

Yeah I agree Barmi. I think it's silly if sites can be removed for getting hacked, unless it's proved to be because of their negligence or something? What is stupid is that it's probably the people who hacked it who complained to Habbo Staff.

It's not like ClubHabbo wanted to get hacked. In the real world websites don't get hacked because the staff get paid, but in a situation where you're providing a large Habbo fansite, you have to trust 50+ people not to hack your site - and they have no reason why they shouldn't because it's not like you're paying them or anything.

It's simply not possible to prevent a fansite from being hacked.

If it's not because they got hacked, if it's for some other valid reason that they got removed then I think it's fair.

Edit: Actually I spoke to somebody "in the know" and they said it was because they had illegal cutenews 3 times.

[PaulMacC]

I heard that but everyone kept saying it was untrue,

I back CH on getting back to offical status.

[A.K.A]

Just to let you know, they haven't emailed me telling me why so lol.

onoes, cos i know why u lost unofficalness :@

The cutenews wasn't illegal on the site, so many people spread rumours about the site its unbelivable.

A Few people decided to start an 'i hate ch' sort of group, and try thier best to take it down. They sent an email to my host claiming to be cutenews and saying it was illegal, and our host suspended us for it - but then we purchased a new licence as proof it was legal, and they un-suspended us.

Then, many people attempt to take us down by giving out radio passwords, and admin cutenews passwords - and doing things to the site to get us removed.

To be honest, its not my fault the site got hacked - many official fansites get hacked, its just the fact that the people who reported clubhabbo, are the people who hacked it.

No matter how much I hated CH for things I wasnt part of the group therefore earning myself a good boy star :eusa_danc

Thats what I heard. And then the hackers were not banned for hacking official fansites?

Seems strange.

If it wasn't fake - why was there a need to purchase a new license?
