an official retro?

[Dan]

Did you even ask for permission to post this thread?

 

If the retro is hosted on another host/server and it was named after this site i have no problem with it.

I think he means for it to be classed as Failscene official

If it was named after this site then I would have a problem with it because I don't believe God has asked any admin for permission.

Alright well you guys work it out. I have no problem with a retro as long as its not on this server cause we're liable not you.

[DaFozz]

If I didn't have to pay a penny then I would consider it.

According to our legal consultant (yes, we can afford one of those), any version of these "retros" are illegal. If they are not on this server, theres nothing we can do about it

[MxRE]

Not into Habbo much anymore, but I'd help out.

My bad, looking around most say it's illegal altogether - however that information was posted at least a couple years back.

 

What I do know is Sulake won't sue unless the owner makes hotel and after and ignores Sulake's warnings.

 

Best thing to do would be to email Sulake, ask them whether habbo retro's of a certain version and below are legal or not.

 

I think you're missing the point.

 

Allow me to elaborate...

 

Firstly, It's illegal. Who ever told you that it isn't is a total ballshitter.

 

Second, Sulake won't sue you. Do you realize how much a court case costs? Why do you think a lawyer is one of the best paid jobs... Because they make all their money from law suits. Besides, the UK and USA merge was to cut costs which already suggests that they are having problems as there wasn't anything wrong with the two hotels.

 

I haven't played Habbo in years, I even gave my account to Jordan, for free. But that doesn't mean that "this could have all changed".

Those who disagree, doubt, or don't believe what Myles is saying.. Your idiots.

He ran Nabbo, which was one of the most popular retros awhile back (to my knowledge at least.) and he wasn't sued.

Even though they are struggling, We don't want to promote our service as do illegal services and get away with it, Yes it will probably make us more money but if (EVER) sued we're liable

 

I could see this starting a war of words, So someone lock this.

If you're that paranoid about this then all you have to do is block Sulake's computers from accessing your website.

 

This is something which I'm not proud of, but my retro gained over 500,000 members and more than 600,000 unique page views a week. You're telling me that not one person out of that 600,000 didn't report us?

 

Of course they did. I was fighting a losing battle with people constantly threatening to sue/report us. I even had the odd fake email or two.

 

Believe this or not, but an Australian Habbo moderator visited our retro and kindly stated that "Even official habbo staff like to play on retros because they're fun"
