The Fansite Way

[Jordy]

We all know why they have done this.

He will probably say:

'We do not want people to take users money, as it is there money'

----

Habbo can't do anything cept take us off official...

They have copyright to Habbo and the images so Sulake can remove Habbox's (and it's sites) permission to use Habbo images and content probably. I'm rather sure that's how copyright works on the internet.

I'm sure they wouldn't say something like that. I want to see their excuse.

Hmm, I will ask him if I am around, but I am away so probably won't have time ! Hmmm, Personally I don't see what's wrong with V.I.P, it's not like you have to be V.I.P to get most the services on the Forum, and you can easily cope without it, it's just an added feature, but I am sure overtime more will be revealed :]

Official Fansites & Unofficial need to follow the Fansite way, So surely all fansites need to follow the rules or habbo will remove your permission to use habbo images?

Im pretty annoyed about it, How are fansites now meant to pay for hosting most advert things dont cover the costs!

Don't forget if Sulake were to set out a copyright infringement against Habbox and ClubHabbo then Habbo themselves may loose a lot of users.

Both the fansites combined have a user base of approx 50,000 and most have played or currently still use the hotel.

Also, if websites were to offer VIP items in return for a donation it is not classed as "charging". Donating means giving funds at your own free will.

If HxF was www.habbox.com/forum/index.php, it would be included and would not be accepted, but since HabboxForum is not the official site and is a separate domain it doesn't count towards the Fansite Way.

surely?

I agree to this and also the CH homes althought i don't like them but i think they should be allowed? unless i here i VERY good reason for both these new rules im agenst them

Today i bought 6 months VIP walked into the help desk and was like. OMG run to habbo and was disapointed but i think we should at least be able to see out our pre-paid VIP terms

habbo do have legal rights to take down all the fansites offical or non

[Mikey]

I don't think there would be a revolt to be honest people who still play habbo would just move on else where.

No we wouldn't, we would protest

Also if Habbox gets told to take the VIP feature off, people can just donate money to habbox?

[CHA!NGANG]

Maybe give the users with current VIP their VIP until it ends, and then just create a new usergroup called 'Donators' which would be one colour and cheaper. And yes, as Habbox uses Habbo: Links/Images/News/Names/e.c.t. I think Habbo can do damage to Habbox, maybe not shut it down, but make Habbox remove a lot of its Content, Forums, Change Domain name and more.

I duno how the VIP ones effecting Habbo, it wont loose them money (Don't think Habbo Staff went to school). VIP membership is mainly paypal, and paypal is something Habbo don't accept.

In effect, this rule is basically ruining the forum.

Also like I said, I wouldn't spend my money on Habbo Credits if I didn't buy VIP - I don't see how they lose?
