Breaking News: is this the end of fansites, goodbye Habbox?

[Hidden]

They don't NEED fansites at all. Habbo started off in 2001 or whatever with no fansites and still managed to grow up to be huge. Then HabboHut etc came. If 'fansites' were so good HabboHut would have so many members because they were the first fansite. Habbo obviously want fansites to help grow the site, but they don't need them.

Habbo doesn't NEED fansites which is why they are optional. Habbo fansites need HABBO or they wouldn't exist. So put that logic into this and pretty much says Sulake have the final say.

Habbo is putting up with fansites because a lot of users are playing the game because of them. Fansites are OBVIOUSLY important to them otherwise they won't employ staff to take care of them. Of course it won't shut down if the fansites are gone but they can say goodbye to a lot of potential profit by getting rid of fansites. Also not to forget that the fansites host a lot of events in Habbo

Your argument is flawed and dry, please leave. Thanks.

Still waiting for you to tell me why I'm providing incorrect information for posting an extract from a website which comes up as the first result on Google when searching for "NPO Registration UK".

They must be selling a lot of people the incorrect information by the sounds of things!

Habbox give money to charities that help people every season, they use that money for people to get better and hospitals to give treatment and experiment on new products that help the people in the world. All charities help people in 1 way or another no matter what they say. This thread has nothing to do with charities so why are you trying.

Theres no legit proof that they are using it towards the site every week/month and it's against their set rules.

I don't feel like 'because it's against the rules' is a good enough reason to campaign so hard for removal of donations... you don't follow other rules so closely (you are perm banned for goodness sake!) so I don't see what the big deal about this particular one is. just seems like you're out to upset a few people and rim some staff members. If proof was asked for by sulake then I'm so no fansite owner would have any qualms with providing it, there is no need to eradicate a feature that has helped fansites and the hotel alike for so many years now.

i have already said why. there is the possibility that the site owner can make a profit (dont bother telling me this doesn't happen, that's not the point - it COULD happen). if a fansite wants to be official and enjoy whatever privileges that come with that it can not imo be seen to be making money for itself. evidently sulake agree.

you're being slightly unrealistic here. hosting, domains, vb licenses and all manner of other features are actually rather costly. I don't believe for a second that any fansites with reasonably large userbases just get all of this for free, so where else would donation money go? If habbox (and I don't know about or care to research donations on other sites) were to ask for payment for premium features then I would see your point but right now a donation is a voluntary payment with the intent of helping the site to churn out new content for the individual to enjoy - if the owner is buying meat feast pizzas with that money but the content is still there, why should it matter?

Habbo doesn't NEED fansites which is why they are optional. Habbo fansites need HABBO or they wouldn't exist. So put that logic into this and pretty much says Sulake have the final say.

Well that's just not true is it?!?!? fansites have throughout the history of the hotel provided the foundation for communities to expand and - older sites like habbox and the recently closed clubhabbo especially - retain those who become bored of habbo with the possibility that they may join in again in the future. yes, without habbo the fansites would lack content but without fansites and with habbo being in the state it currently is with no way for people to communicate other than in-client, where would the community go? other games with better communities, probably.

Hahahaha, you know how sometimes I'm a **** and flirt with the rules of HxF? These guys are like 200 times more pathetic than I usually am

So what... In the worst case scenario, Habbox just becomes an unofficial website? Or we donate our money to JinandSierk'sparadiseisland.com and happen to get coloured names on a totally unrelated website

There's nothing to worry about.

You're argument is again flawed because habbo isn't growing at all, its in decline lol. It doesn't matter what you say because fansites keep a large amount of people using habbo because they have jobs hosting events or doing other stuff because other than that habbo is boring as **** because the real staff dont bother putting any effort into hosting daily events and keeping users entertained.
