Ah, Habbo Hotel, where the teenage girls trade cybersex for furniture.

You sure can. (via SA forums, via Drudge?!)

The SA forums did a bit of an 'invasion' there recently. Not sure what the result was, but I'm sure it wasn't pretty. If there are any corpses littering the ground with names that begin 'Geno', that's them.

Hmmm. So I read about Habbo here a couple of months after it's covered by the free in-train magazine for GNER. Who said Mefiers aren't at the cutting edge of the Internet? And it won't go through the firewall, so no cybersex with teenage girls for me. Story of my life.

I can't get in. Internet Explorer keeps complaining about page faults as I hit the "Lets Go" button. I tried following their poor excuse for technical support but it made no change. Seems a bit of a waste for a graphic IRC system. Reminds me of The Palace.

I'm more interested in what other people might do with FUSE Light (or the Perl clone), a stripped version of Habbo Hotel's FUSE software. But I'm into those things.

Crazy stuff goes on in there some brit gang of kids get together and terrorize other kids its like 'Lord of the Flies' with teenage pimps and prostitutes.. its evil.. yet, strangely appealing.

wow! you say 'Lord of the Flies' with teenage pimps and prostitutes like it's a bad thing. Once you've had a pig head on a spike you never go back!

This sounds (and looks) almost exactly like another graphics based chat program, The Palace. The companies that ran it are now bankrupt (unfortunately) but palacoholics still run sites. Actually like it better than this place because it has a wider range of people and places to visit (and who can say no to virtual bondage bars?)

I found it kind of boring, except for seeing jcterminal taking a bubble bath with some guy. I liked the Palace better, back in the day.
