    Hey,
    I understand the V.I.P feature got removed from the forum due to sulake being jealous money hungry monkeys. At the end of the day Donator is basically V.I.P with a few less features. Perhaps now that the hotels have merged and its under new management they won't care if you sell V.I.P.

    A few of the best features are becoming very scarce, fair enough you can purchase V.I.P at Christmas but that just happens once a year and event's aren't everyones cup of tea. Without Christmas and the odd event is there really a need for the "view who rep'd you" feature. Don't get me wrong, I would hate to see the feature get removed because it's pretty handy, is there no possible way you could either allow all users to view who rep'd them or just add it to the Donator's feature. I miss the old days when you could just click and buy V.I.P and browse the forum with the features you love. Now days with Donator you can't see who rep'd you and a few other additional features have been removed too.

    Maybe habbox management prefer it this way, I don't know. But if not, I'm sure a small public poll or a discussion between yourselves and an email to sulake won't hurt.

    Just a suggestion,
    Rich.

    It's all fine, no need to change it and it would be wrong to change it and scam all the current VIPs who may have bought VIP at Christmas for those features.

    As comps manager who likes to give out vip, noooooooooo leave it alone.

    lol oj, if VIP was brought back I know that Habbo have finally got some common sense but I really doubt 'new management' would really change that rule. Comps would have vip to give out. it's still free so it wouldn't really bother us that much, so yeah I'm all for it, just don't know if the stupid rule's been changed

    Some people don't like doing competitions, I'm one of them, I like Richie's idea, move the VIP features over to the Donator group.

    That defeats the entire point, Donator is not allowed to have ANY features that all other members could have other than "aesthetic" features.

    If we did that we might as well bring back VIP. Which, we could try and test the waters about

    Yes I agree. It is quite a long time since they brought those rules in. Maybe they might be a bit more flexible now.

    Waiting for a reply in regards of that, although if they are now getting involved with fansites again looking at the Habbo News section then may have a better chance. Hopefully..

    But I don't see the point of doing this which will then make VIP look useless and wouldn't really be ideal to use as prizes or anything else. As they can just buy donator with the same amount or near enough the same features. As at the moment there is a gap between donator and VIP features.

    If they allow you to sell VIP again, you should have one month where you give out no VIP, then re-release it (probably have to put additional people in place to take care of the new flood), give out VIP less as we did in the past, perhaps even give out donator as prizes and only sell VIP, and then slowly phase out donator in a year or so.

    Donator would be a crap prize compared to VIP mind, it is handy having a VIP prize system and VIP is available for enough things for everyone to have a good chance of getting it.

    Of course it would be much nicer if we could sell VIP but although we have made contact with Sulake I'm not getting my hopes up, originally when the Hotel merged the premium services clause wasn't under the fansite way, which prompted me to write an email to be sent to Sulake however we never got a reply despite it was sent from the three main Habbox email addresses.

    As Matt said, maybe they will reply now they seem to be bothered about fansites again, however I for one am not getting my hopes up.

    Would be wound up if everyone was allowed to see who repped them - as that is a big selling point for me. I love the fact people don't like -repping because you can see their name :rolleyes:

    Woulod love VIP to be sold all the time though and it would surely benefit habbox.
