Sulake will not do anything for a while after this. I can guarantee that Sulake does not know about most of the bigger hotels. Considering if you report a hotel, they don't even say anything about it, they just say, "Okay, thank you for reporting, we'll look into it as soon as possible." Their moderators might as well say, "Take a piece of paper, and write a letter to someone who gives a fuck, I'm just here to collect my paycheck."

This will probably stop the stupid little kids, who took out daddy's big boy credit card to buy a server, from owning hotels, you know, the L33t ub3r h4x0rs who think they're so "badass" because they can boot hotels and then they think they can magically gain users from doing that. This is a new age of Habbo Retros, and I think there's a rough road ahead that will allow only the toughest to survive. The amount of retros was just getting too high and the user counts on retros were getting smaller and smaller because of the fact that the users were being distributed to different retros voluntarily just because they want the one, the only, the big kahuna Staff Job that really is just a pain in the ass to begin with and is 90% of the time, all drama.


Aaron's plan for Phoenix was like the Death Star. It was amazing, practically indestructible, except that one little loop-hole that fucked him over which was the fact that he charged people for it instead of releasing it for free. If it was free, he could have deleted it all and cut his losses, but now there are records, bills of sale, etc. PayPal can sometimes be your PayEnemy. ;)


LOL, Are you joking? Learn? That's too much work for them. They need someone to hold their hand and say, "It's okay, Aaron will fix it when he has the time. Yes he will. Yes he will! Oh! What's that? Got your noseeee!" Like I'd said, only the strong will survive in this next age of Habbo Retro Development, and I'm sorry to say about 80% of Pheonix users will just drop everything and say fuck it because they're weak now. Their users are scattering to other hotels as we speak while all their EMUs are down.


I ain't scared of no Sulake. I understand where you're coming from, but I think they will only go after a few hotels and just drop it. They could just go down the list of TheHabbos, but is it really worth the time? If they really want to go after us. Just take down the TopSites lists, and they'd have to get rid of DevBest, Other Crap Forums, and, oh lord, RaGEZONE. I don't think MentaL would just let them "walk all over him" like they did with Aaron in a sort. I think if they're going after us, we oughta put up a fight. Not in the sense of #FREESOJOBO or #FUCKSULAKE, but in the sense that we should start researching and finding the loopholes within law. They want to walk all over us because most of us are young and teenagers, and some of you are right. They want to give us a good scare, but here's how I see it. They're trying to get their money's worth before they shut down, so unless you're ringing in money by the assload, then you should be fine. They're not going to try and squeeze an empty bottle of ketchup (or toothpaste whatever you want to use as an analogy).
It is not illegal to have habbo sections therefore Sulake won't go after Ragezone.

Nor is it illegal to develop software from scratch, but I guess they beg to differ. Classic Facebook "Social Network" story, but Aaron just ain't as rich as Zuckerberg. If they really do plan to take out the "big fish", I personally say RaGEZONE is the next biggest, but I don't think they're going to file a lawsuit against RaGEZONE, but I do think they will demand information about users once it does come to them. They should also go after DCR-Project or DCR-Project - Home because that's where a LOT of people get their SWFs. All I've got to say is that if you've ever released any EMU Software or anything of the like, you oughta start hiding some of your profile information. ;) I'm clean.

RaGEZONE is NOT a threat to Sulake and MentaL is not responsible for the content posted by users.

Since Aaron himself posted the content on ************** he is responsible for it. (Phoenix)

I've never handed user information over to a company and I don't intend to start any time soon.

I'd like to say maybe 85-90% of people nowadays used Phoenix for emulation of their Habbo Server. Without the "noob" friendly emulator, beginners now have to learn the fun advanced stuff to get a good retro going. Do you think Sulake will start taking action on bigger hotels? Do you think this is just Sulake giving the retro community a scare? Let the community know what you think will happen next!
I think we're going to enter in a new "Holograph" era, with opensuorce emulators, less hotels but with better developing and not all identical.

Couldn't agree more, best stage in the history of retros so far.

I'm pretty sure RaGEZONE have been targetted by Sulake before...

I still have my retro up and running, but it is not in a web site lol, but hosted in my xampp server. All I did with it was de-compile the Flash (ActionScript) source, changed a few images and pictures, and had my own custom furniture. I have been dying for this source code of aarons, never found any luck finding it, because if I did I would of offered it to everyone in this shit. It always occurred to me, why not just make my own emulator? Maybe I would have to learn some C# since that is what Phoenix is compiled from and seems stable. I am not sure where to start, maybe I should look at the old holograph emu and see how the source code looks (which I still have).

I don't think it is a bad thing, Phoenix was overused, you could go on 30 different hotels and find them all running on phoenix. Because it wasn't open source hotel owners were limited to what they could change so all hotels had almost exactly the same features.

Now more people will begin to use BcStorm and other open source alternatives which will hopefully encourage hotel owners to customise their emulators more.

As long as people use open source Sulake wont be able to do anything because if they take the developer to court another person will just use the source and continue developing.

They'll be even more poorly implemented than they currently are.

Retros aren't going to change, except there won't be a noob friendly emulator available for quite some time.

Hotels will be around till the day Habbo dies and longer, there's just too many of us to stop it.

I'm not scared of Sulake, this shit just keeps life exciting.

As soon as Sulake win against Aaron, they'll push harder with the DMCA's against the big hotels.

If you continue to ignore them, I am almost certain they'll just take your company or person(s) to court in the US (or Finland, i'm not sure on their copyright laws or stance on DMCA) and destroy you there.

Not being "scared of Sulake" after they win against Aaron in court is stupid.

Off shore hosting... Sulake would be powerless?

Does anyone else think Habbo should do something similar to Minecraft, instead of attacking developers, allow people to setup 'Habbo servers' similar to how people who buy Minecraft can setup 'Minecraft servers'. I'm sure Sulake could find a way to make this work and get lots of money out of 12 year olds at the same time, they've had enough practise.
