HabbCrazy was founded in late 2005 by Skier and Entertain. Originally, HabbCrazy was developed for a Habbo Hotel US Help Center; Habbos Helping Habbos [HHH], as the official Help Centres' Website, which was owned by Skier.

HabbCrazy was visited several times during its time from Habbo Staff such as 0rca and Grecian9 - for these events they allowed forum users to submit questions and releasing donators and badges.

The fansite closed in 2017 after the owners did not renew the domain name, at which point the domain was bought by someone outside the HabbCrazy ownership team.

“

“We would like to thank you all for your dedication and support during the reign of HabbCrazy and all the work and time you all have put into the site. We, the HabbCrazy Owners, have decided to close the site at this time due to lack of funding and current support from the Habbo Community. We as the Owners of HabbCrazy no longer have the time necessary to put forth into the site and as you all know the site has been on a downfall for quite some time. We thank you all for sticking with us through the good and bad times at HabbCrazy and wish you all the best in your future endeavors with other fansites and your lives. This decision has been hard for us to make, however, we feel that it is time for us to close our doors and let some of the new fansites have reign over the hotel. We hope to keep in touch with as many of you as we can and wish you all the best. HabbCrazy will officially shut its doors at the end of this week.”
