    Default Ads by Google on Habbox.

    There has been a banner on Habbox.com for a while now containing ads by Google. However, I have noticed some funny content on this space such as an advert for "Free Furni" and also furni for sale on ebay -- both of which are against The Habbo Way.

    I am very concerned about this because if Sulake saw this, couldn't they have Habbox shut down or w/e? It does say on the Habbo Hotel website that fansites should not promote possible scams such as free furni!! :p

    If I am completely wrong... sorry, but I'm just giving the staff a heads-up and also wondering if anyone has any comments.

    Habbox don't control the adverts.

    Therefore nothing can be done. eBay has an advert on nearly every search on Google. nothing can be stopped about it. it just picks up keywords.

    Sulake can't do nothing either, specially when they've had some rule-breaking ad campaigns in the past.

    Thats not rule breaking, theres companys around that help you find MS Word/Excell passwords etc.

    It doesn't mean Habbo

    & Also there is some about Keyloggers - nothing wrong with that, Keyloggers are used in alot of buisnesses to see what there staff do. Its only illegal when its used to obtain passwords and phishing details from people who shouldn't have them.

    Your right, I noticed one the other day which said 'Habbo Hotel Cheats' and I thought, 'Ouch, that could ruin Habbox's Official hopes ' +rep for that comment.

    Off-topic: Dominatrix, if you hate Habbox, why do you pay to be a VIP, thus keeping it running by giving donations. Or were you being sarcastic?
