Luucaz | 09-03-2010 Release overview
..has been an annoyance for a while. We did not update it for like two years. At the same time, we know people like it, and keep sending in details. We (ok, I..) might have lost some email on the matter switching computers and stuff. We also debated wether to keep it, or just lose it. My personal opinion was it was too much work, please get rid of it. It wasn't when we updated though, I was just scared to return to it. But a few weeks back our Star-Fighter suddenly presented a new look for the page, and said he needed some more access to files. Oké.. and here we are, an old, but new list.
With additions, not all fully researched yet - though JOLE jumped on the bandwagon and turned over a barrow of facts to include (which is JOLE's secret specialty). It now again makes sense to mail your updates (as they get to Star, and not my lazy bum). I'm also relieved something, well, sorta cool in a weird way, is rescued here by Star, I hoped someone would.
Anyway: new, old LIST.
Luucaz | 24-02-2010 We have some new things
Well, new, in some turmoil, other things going on, we added and updated some icons at our executive desktop a while ago actually. Plain talk: a) we have a speechbubble generator now we believe works like a charm and can handle some situations others can't and b) a volter text generator that was there before but now works better/fully. Good shit. Well, I said 'we', and yes, I may have contributed an icon and some outlines, but this is just LEGOLAS-KLARA showing off some awesome skills at programming. Laugh at will, I don't care, this guy knows how to put something together without any references on how things are supposed to behave. Those references kill originality. The generators, while functioning here on their own, are even just parts, code useful for other things, that other things being things coming. If you get the impression I'm actually exited, you're not mistaken.
Really new is a section we dubbed 'Su-la-ke'. Because it is about the company behind Habbo, and there were things to tell about it. Quite a bit of research done, and we think the real fans will find it an enjoyable read.
Last, also really new, but also very much delayed, we added lots of text. Delayed, as said, so you can only now read the report Emmerrrrrrr did on our spring survey months ago. And some of my rambling for now, but to be expanded :p. Well, hope you enjoy some of it, revised history page prolly coming up next, but lots of work to be done there still.
Luucaz | 04-02-2010 Happy birthday Magnea !
It's the day Zirro aka Magnea reaches a milestone! Our former but as active as before crew member continues preaching web standards, discussing html and css and good behavior in general :p. So we're wishing him a great day, lots of iGifts and a great new year ahead!
Luucaz | 23-01-2010 Even more cheers !
And with Laurens' birthday being over, we just keep celebrating as we land in another one. Today JOLE celebrates his day, so another round of cheers and good wishes evolves. On a great new year for you JOLE! With lots of good stuff, shiny gifts, loads of happyness. Maybe even a thing on 4 wheels. We wuzz discussing in basement, we weren't sure on how far you got that yet. If all done and settled, ignore us. If not, we wish it to become true this year :p!
Luucaz | 22-01-2010 Cheers!
It's the birthday of Laurensh1 today! And who says Laurens says Gaga. She must come to the Netherlands. She will, and Laurens will be there. So that's what we wish for, first row and a meet and greet! And gi-gi-gifts, lots. And party, and fun, and lots more years to come, that too. Happy birthday Sir !
Laurensh1 | 20-01-2010 It's gonna happen.
Habbo.ca & Habbo.com will merge! :O Big news, we are wondering how this will take place... But time will tell...
Luucaz | 12-01-2010 A little word
..spoiling cjames' birthday even. Some of you may have noticed a download online, 'Habborator backup'. It's being provided for your convenience by two Dutch guys going by the names of Danny/Getloose and Shadowbooth (avoid if possible). And yes, it's true, they really found their way deep into our files, admin panel, everything. They even came by to explain how they did it, which looked nice at the time. Weird mixture of flaws, and all fixed by now, doesn't leave the fact they have a lot backed up. And they threaten to publish more, including personal details (which they, clever, avoided in this download).
Now, I'm partly ashamed and will take responsibility when this happens, for not being the safety expert I should be. The other part doesn't wanna live in a world with people like that. Could be I underrated the attitude among young people. I'm an adult, made fun sites with and for adults for years. Not even had to ban a single user for years, as creating something beautiful or useful got us appreciation only. Oh well. Sorry for being ignorant.
While I will take that responsibility, I promise I will also take any action possible to get to these people if and when they decide to release any personal details. I'm pretty sure I will look like a fool wanting action for our files being stolen, and I'm ok with the fact I'm looking like a fool now. I'm not ok with posting other people's details, and that is something luckily taken serious these days.
