    Default News article titles

    I dunno about anyone else, but I think the titles for news articles are just plain rubbish. Usually titles are meant to give me an idea of what the following content is about, but Habbox just doesn't do that. I'm looking at the front page and the only decent one is "Summer Savings". The rest are just stupid. "Things can only get beta" - ***? It's not funny.

    Why don't you give ideas of what you think they should be then..
    and if i saw a title like that it would make me wonder what is it about and i would read it.

    It is funny. It's called a PUN. Tabloids use Puns for titles, every single one of them.
    The other day I was in a toilet.
    A voice came from the cubicle next to me: "Hello mate, how are you doing?"
    I didn't want to be rude, so I said, "Not too bad, thanks."
    I heard the voice again. "So, what are you up to?"
    Again I answered, "Just having a quick ****... How about yourself?"
    Then I heard him say "Sorry, mate, I'll have to call you back. I've got some **** in the cubicle next to me answering everything I say."

    I am the person who usually makes these puns up.

    Habbox is a fun site and we're not serious and the puns are just fun.

    I've never had any complaints and it was even mentioned when we won Best News Fansite at the Habbo Fansite awards (under my management )

    Thanks for the feedback.

    I personally love the puns, and without them habbox would be boring.

    Yes I love them to. A year ago or so, I used to never go on habbox news articles but the puns made it look so cool I read them to this day! How can you say they are rubbish?!

    I find them amusing, they remind me of how Habbo titles their own articles.

    I just find them too cheesey. I prefer something that tells me what the artice is going to be about, but if it pleases everyone else, then I'll have to stick with it.

    Another thing - wow, I didn't realise that giving feedback which everyone disagrees with results in negative reputation. Yes, Mrs.McCall. Even if you do say so yourself.
