This post is actually not about Habboing but the title is actually a brand new official fansite advertised in Habbo SG recently. For those who do not know, Habboing is a fan-forum community maintained by a welcoming, loving, and diverse group of Habbo enthusiasts from all over the globe. As the Habboing Management, l-l-l, said, "We aim to produce exciting, interactive, and high-quality content as well as innovative and advances website features for Habbos everywhere". So what are you waiting for? Register today in the brand new fansite today!

Well, there's still more fansites dedicated to the Habbo Hotel SG/MY/PH and the branches globally like Great La, Hablet, HabboSoup, and HabboHut. They're all fansite and will keep you going on habbo.

Anyways, if you want to submit a fansite, make sure that it has it's own domain name like ".com", ".net", etc. Also, simply write to habbo using the Habbo Help Tool. Introduce yourself and your fansite and tell them what your site will be contributing to the Habbo SG/MY/PH community. When you email them, of course, include the fansite URL in it.

SmartPanda, Long Gone?!

When Mr.F@m0u5 still was my main account, I had a great great friend and I was 1 day older than him in the Habbo Hotel. Well, we had good times in the hotel until I was banned from playing. When I came back to Habbo, I tried to remember the names of my friends before. While playing, it just came poofing in my head the names of my friends during my Mr.F@m0u5's account. As the days pass by, I remembered one more bestfriend of mine besides graffitidude, and his name is SmartPanda. I went to his rooms and tried to look if there's still furnitures in it. I thought that he was hacked but he wasn't. Then a room name made me realize that he was quitting. That's why all of his rooms (except one) have no furnitures! He used to have many furnitures and rares in it but he sold 90% of his belongings. Haiz, I'm so sad about the news. I wish I could still see him and let him know that I'm Mr.F@m0u5, his long lost bestfriend. :'(

HabFlow Fansite

I would like to introduce a fansite created by my friends, Reserved.. and Funkyhabbo.
They called it HabFlow and I have no idea why. But one thing is that they are still constructing their website main page. Instead, they firstly published their Forum. So, please go register there and do not forget to write my name , -Sponge, in he referrer field! Thanks!

For me, their logo is so plain that it looks boring. So, I created my own version of the HabFlow banner. I wish that the owner will recognize my banner and make it official for HabFlow.You can see the banner I created here below. It's actually in .GIF form and I prefer that you should click this picture for there's an effect. :D
If you want to download the clearer version of this banner, just click here.
To see this file, you must have a .swf player or flash player.

I would like to thank the sponsors who helped me create this wonderful banner!

The Brand New Habbo Beta


Habbo beta has turned out to be the new official Habbo Hotel. I know, it's not just me, but everyone's hearts in Habbo is crying because the old Habbo is fleeing out. Everyone created events where they could spam or flood whatever they want to say as a farewell to the Big Hand (alias for the Old Habbo).

It feels bad for me for the Old Habbo to go away and never come back again. The previous Habbo was my guide and friend when I firstly joined Habbo. I thought habbo was one of the noob social games I came to play with but I was wrong. It's like every game you want is here. You can invent games in a game, trade furnitures, buy and spend coins, buy coins with real money and give our furnitures! Unlike Club Penguin, Habbo is a better game fit for teens. Actually even people not on the teen age come to like Habbo also! Some are 12 years old or younger. That's how habbo is a very special kind of game.

There are advantages and disadvantages in Habbo beta.
The disadvantages are that cameras and pictures cannot be loaded. They released beta when there are still lacking solutions to problems like some furnitures comes in black boxes. Traxes were not active when Habbo beta was released to the public. Habbo guides group are currently off and not releasing badges yet to the public. Instead, they used Habbo Bots to guide habbos! Habbo bots are some kind of annoying.

On the lighter side, Habbo Beta has positive sides too. Habbo homepage has gone cool! Its loading for the hotel has gone quicker than the old hotel. Since it's beta, it's much easier for us to play Habbo. 'Events' are united with the navigator. The Habbo news straight in the hotel, updated 24/7 where we won't be needing to go to the Habbo news page just to read news updates, instead, we just have to type :news in the hotel and poof! Habbo news popping out on the right side of your browser! Furnitures are now stored in the inventory (substituting the Big Hand) and when mutiple same furnitures are stored in it, they are now stacked. The inventory is also classified into tabs where furnitures are classified with the floor and walls. They also included 'Achievements' and 'Badges' in the inventory making much easier for Habbos to search what they need. Tagging of rooms has been added to beta where we can search for a room related to the event of the room. Zooming in has been applied in beta whether your room is small or big, we can zoom in and out anytime! Whispering and Shouting in beta is much easier. To shout, we just have to type the words we wanna say, hold 'Shift' then 'Enter'. Reporting has become much easier. Just click the Habbo and then click the report button! All of these are just updates because there's much more coming. For short, there are many advantages in playing the Beta version of Habbo.

Though for some players like my friend, graffitidude, is not used to the beta version of Habbo. But I know that he will get used to the new consoles of Habbo beta and will probably be expert on using the beta.

I know that everyone will love the Beta and will release the Old Habbo in their hearts to accept the new world Habbo is facing right now.

Trax oh Trax...


Habbo has changed to Beta and all of a sudden, there were many changes!

Today, Habbo is now allowing Trax music to come active in Habbo Beta! At last! The Habbo staff recommends that we should Download the latest Flash player. Well, now, we can use Trax in Habbo! I'm just glad Habbo's growing up.

Banned Account


This blog seems that it should be posted firstly in this website. This topic just came out of my mind when I was in school. Well.. here it goes..

It makes me feel sad whenever I remember that my old account, Mr.F@m0u5, was banned. (Mr.F@m0u5 is the one waving up there) The ban was unfair that my clone, Mr.F@m0u5,, was hacked by some kind of hacking website. I used my Mr.F@m0u5, account to register with the website. Probably, the hacking site owner used my clone to advertise more of his own site and as the habbo staff investigate, they knew that Mr.F@M0u5's clone is Mr.F@m0u5, and with that, I was banned for scamming! What on earth was that?! I was banned for no reason! I'm very innocent!

There was a night on April or May that my Father prohibited me from playing Habbo because I usually forget to do my chores and to eat. The day after that, I logged in my Habbo account, Mr.F@M0u5, to minimail my friends in Habbo that I won't be using habbo ever again. So, I told them that I will not play Habbo anymore. The day after that, probably Sunday afternoon, I logged in my account only to find out that it was BANNED! I was like heart broken. All my hard works was in that account, my 1,000 coins, the rares, the rooms full of furniture, the enjoying games, and my rooms, ALL WENT BACK TO ZERO! I, somehow, cursed Habbo for banning their players with innocence. >:(

Well.. 4 months have gone and I haven't played habbo. I remembered Habbo and created a new account and now, named as -Sponge. I tried to obey the Habbo way, to be more behave and analyze what should be done in Habbo uprightly. Well, this is still not the point. I created account in Habbo to appeal my old account by writing in their Contact Us form at their Habbo front page. I waited for their reply, changed my email adress to my Google mail (so that I can accept their mail even though some other free mail provider thinks that their reply is a Spam) and waited more. Still, no reply. I thought my old account will have no chance to be active again. I guess that, I will have to wait until 2020 so that I can login my account again.

Lessons learned:
1. Never trust a free coins website, it's all hacker made up.
2. Obey the Habbo way (even though I never break one -.-)
3. Play fair and never cheat.

Kick Wars!

I just created a new room after playing kick wars. I realized that it was pretty addicting and usually makes me wild. Because of that, I ended up making my very own kick wars room where many Habbos liked also. :)

I started adding lodge corners and bars, teles according to the team colors (RED vs. BLUE), executive mats, bobba carpet to my main kick wars room.

I also created room for each team's base. Inside each room are 2 sofas, mini bar and another tele linked to the main war room. For habbos to easily go to each other's base, I inserted a teleporter tele linked to each other's base.





Moving on, the tele next to the portaloo and the red tele box is linked to the main war room. There, they all have free rights to move and (you know) to kick Habbos (SINCE THIS IS A KICK WARS GAME!) Try to be sport, can't you?
Many habbos keep asking me "Someone is camping, owner, kick him please." Hello? This is kick wars! You have to make your own strategy here! But, I strictly do not allow HC members to use :chooser because with that, it's much easier for them to search Habbos and to kick them. That's unfair for the non-HC members right? So, to prevent this, I posted a sticky notepad in my main room for the rules.

Also, to make sure, I also use my clone, LazyMuffin to be a camp checker because some HC members still use their privileges (:chooser) to kick habbos easily. Unfortunately, I find it hard to use my clone to be a camp checker because players kick my clone.

Well, you can play kick wars in my room. Search -Sponge and you can play it.

Thanks for playing!
