Firstly I would just like to say that all of those people who have been putting down Habbo Hotel really must think what they put before they go slandering it. Yes there are reasons for everything which I will explain below:

Swearing Filter:
Yes its to stop people swearing. There are alot of young kids who use the site and putting words like "fuck" and "cyber" are truly inapropriate. This place is a very fun place for the youngsters and blocking swearing is a way to make the site more pleasant.

Rooms:
Some people say that the only rooms you find on Habbo Hotel are just Beauty Contest/Mafia/Falling Furni etc. One thing. This is what other people have made, not the hotel. If they want a beauty contest its up to them. OK, what about fan-based rooms (like music groups etc)? or even counciling rooms? because of the nature and design of the hotel its ideal for people to go for help anonymously in a friendly, non exposing way. Rooms are started off blank because then people can design them themselves. It gives the kids something to be proud of when they show their mates that they've made hundreds of friends on Habbo because of their own room.

Credits:
Yes credits are a lil bit expensive. But if they were free furni would lose its value and so people will lose interest. It gives youngsters something to spend their money on, and look forward to when they get it. Also club members get extra furniture like rare stuff, which is enough to make any regular habbo happy.

Paedophiles:
Yes they do exist, just like on other chat rooms. But thats the whole point of the habbo way. Just dont give out your personal details. Simple.

Unusual word filtering:
Yet againt that happens. Thats just because some people have got wise to the filter. So instead of writing "fuck" they write "fuk" and think they can get away with it. But words like "essex" are blocked because they filter the word like: *****s**e**x**** so any gaps are treated part of the word. so the swearing is curbed. Thats a pretty good idea I think.

Hobbas:
No they're not stuck up, if you keep out of trouble and dont cause it then you shouldnt even need to meet one, let alone get banned. Oh and they dont use false ages because they check with "Interactive Age Check" authorities.

And anyway, you think Habbo is bad? they have thousands of people online on there each day, and operate in 9 or so countries. If it was crap you really think they'd be this sucessful? Hmm, I don't think so.

Dont be put off by all the bad rumours, like any chat room, if you stay safe then there shouldnt be a problem.

Habbo Hotel is a Fun website, If Your bored it is a good time waster. DO NOT get addicted like i was, i'd spend 5+ hours a day on habbo. this had affects on me, i had no social life at all, i gained alot of wieght from just sitting around at the computer. I've Easily Wasted over $500 on furniture. I started playing it when i was 12 years old and i played untill i was almost fifteen. As of currently i am taking a break from habbo. it is not interesting to me. but i am not an obnoxious VIP like people claim. i Respect all people on habbo, i dont E-date anymore either. i stopped after like 2 years. I still do buy coin cards from my local Walgreens, But i am not going to be buying VIP/HC anymore. I am Focusing on making cool themed rooms.

some things i hate about habbo-
1.All the gangs and mafias(they will virtually attack you i usually troll them)
2.Relashionships
3.Habbo Babies(they pretend to be babies so someone will adopt them and then they ask their parents for coins, then when they are VIP/HC they diss their parents, They also talk like this"Hwello Cwan Ywou Bwe Mwy Dwaddy?"
4.The Games-most of the games are scams now and if your not VIP you lose half of themlist of games-Kick the ugly, Telephrase, Take me out, Falling furni, Dont hit my wall and many other bullshit mazes.
5. If you are not VIP most VIP members wont give you the light of day and call you a noob.
OVERALL-Only Play It Sometimes, Dont let it become a daily activity

Habbo Hotel is a retarded game where perv preeteens that know about sex but aren't sexually mature and no-lifes that cant find someone to really have sex with play. You end up spending so much money on habbo 'credits' that your phone bill ends up at about $2000. Also, everyone either has dyslexia, or just cant be bothered to type right. If your a 'norm' and not a Habbo Club or VIP club member, you are a n00b, and if you say 'i dont care' you will be reported.

I like it. Iv met alot of great friends on it which iv got msn addys from and phone numbers from and were all really great mates. Most people on habbo hotel are really gay but you do come across a few special people.

Okay Guys, Dont Listen To The Other People. The following statements are 100% true:

-You DONT have to spend money
-There are PLENTY of people without furni, nobody pressures you!
-They need the cash to maintain the websites, its in 15 different countries! If they were rich, habbo would NOT be filled with ads.
-Habbo is a pretty good social expreince. You can learn how to prevent ideantity theft, learn about how if you get caught doing something wrong it can get you in to trouble, and it even helps you learn there are bad people in the world.
-Habbo is MODERATED THE BEST it can be.
Its not the moderators fault if idiots like you dont report the people who are causing the problems, its yours!
If someone is having ''it'' then its YOUR duty to report it. The ''Mods'' dont know something is wrong, unless you TELL THEM!
-Habbo hotel is a great place to make new friends from different places. You can even keep in touch with far away friends/cousins/other family members.
-The only reason people bash habbo is becuase you ''have to buy furni'' but YOU DONT.

A virtual hotel where you walk around and talk to other people. Pretty fun if you have a lot of friends online. What sucks is that you can't buy any good furniture without having to spend real money.

habbo hotel is a place where everyone abides the rules and is all gay and all safe and whoever doesnt gets banned just cause they want ppl to do what they want and habbo staff really should get out more

p.s they are are all nice guys and puffs
