Habbox is sponsored by...

[Jordy]

I think ClubTropica's still trying to get off the ground? They basically used HabboRemix's CMS and renamed it.

While I've no real objection to Kazopark sponsorship, infact it's rather good for HabboxForum, I think it's a bit much that when you now google "HabboxForum" it now comes up with "Habbox Forum sponsored by Kazakow" - That's going to be off putting to new visitors and is a step too far IMO.

Technically HabboxForum isn't official is it? Only Habbox.com?

Interesting so it was the advert they banned - not sure if they would have the same influence now. I thought CT nevr got off the ground?

Nah CT was a fail of epic proportions :L

Anyway, the man who knows the figures are Jin and maybe Matt/Garion. Jin wouldn't have done this if it was bad for Habbox and through the process of elimination... that means it's good for Habbox and therefore I support it as I trust the owner and think everyone else should too

Sound post. You have hit the nail on the head there.

They want £300 a month for full advertisement so i guess thats how much KazoPark are paying

[Robbie]

Yeah they're probably paying more though cos their name is in the title bar aswell.

Looks like another waste of space online game that Habbox gets involved with and never takes off. Anyone remember that other game that was supposedly going to be released at one point, then as a BETA, then the date was pushed back and it NEVER came out? It caused so many arguments are was a pointless decision :/

I wouldn't hold my breath, and honestly don't see why Habbox are being sponsored by an MMORPG that has nothing to do with the theme of the fansite. Seems like a poor decision on both sides :/

ClubTropica, Ryan? Sure it has nothing to do with Habbo itself but I assume Jin was approached. He weighed up the pros and cons and determined it'd be worthwhile for Habbox. I can only assume it's giving Habbox more money which helps it stay open and eases the burden on sierk/Jin. Sure it doesn't benefit us but we have to look at the bigger picture. If it's helping them keep the site open then it is benefiting us in a round about way. I think we just need to embrace the fact that it's helping Habbox

If it's paying more than Google ads (which I'm guessing it must be or it wouldn't have been taken on) then it's a good thing. It's not like the ads we've had before are especially useful to us for anything other than revenue, so really whether the project itself succeeds or not is only of financial matter to the site as a whole - and who knows, the game might be fun for a few members anyway. I know I certainly plan to make treehouses this summer.

Well it appears to be a pretty serious venture so I am with you on this one.
