Home Pages

Home Pages on Habbo were a way of expressing your personality with stickers, notes and what groups players were a member of. Players were able to edit their home pages with stickers, notes and all different kinds of widgets. Other users were able to post in a player's guestbook to leave a message (if they had the widget on their page). You are able to buy stickers for your home page through the web store too. Every so often there was a limited time sticker... When somebody visited, habbo advistised or New furni featuring in a film they would make stickers which were free to buy!

In June 2012, Home Pages were officially removed due to the Guest Book Widget feature being surrounded with moderation issues (publicised by the Channel 4 scandal). They returned to the hotel on August 19th 2012 without the Guestbook feature.

around 1 - 2 credits, although sometimes there was a promotion where some stickers would come free. It was also possible to buy backgrounds from the Web store, too.

Stickers came in a variety of categories, including;

• Letters
• Other/Misc
• Costumes
• Food
• Notes

Inventory

The Inventory is where all of a player's notes, backgrounds, widgets and stickers were stored, so they wouldn't get lost. If a player opened their Inventory, they would see different categories on the left hand side; sorted into categories of widgets, stickers, backgrounds and notes. On the right hand side, there were boxes where stickers and other goodies were stored. To place anything new on a page, players had to click 'Edit', before opening their Inventory and choosing the sticker and click 'Place'. The sticker showed up on their home page it was possible to move it around to the desired position. To remove a sticker, widget or note, the wrench icon, when clicked, produced a box asking if the user wanted to remove it.

Widgets

Widgets were an important feature on Habbo Home pages. Widgets were boxes or stickers which showed either how many friends or how

many badges a player had. These widgets included:

• My Groups
• My Rating
• My Rooms
• Guestbook
• My Friends
• Badges & Achievements
• Trax Player

Stickers

Players were able to buy a variety of stickers from the web store to put on their home page. Sticky notes could be placed and written on to mention friends or a few tips, or even share a small bio. Stickers came in all sorts of categories, ranged from Habbo people to Furni. Habbo people stickers had no head - so in the Profile widget, a Habbo sticker could be placed over the top of

the user's avatar to mimic a costume. Stickers could also be won from competitions held by Habbo staff or given away from a sponsor.

Home Page Of The Month

Home Page Of The Month was a monthly competition run by a staff member by the name "0rca". Players had to design the best home page in that month, and then go to the 'Home Page Of The Month' group and post in the discussion forum with their home page link to be in the running to win. Winners of the Home Page Of The Month would receive a sticker for their home page, and were able to join the Home Page Of The Month group. Then, in 2011, 0rca resigned from her role at Sulake, and the Home Page Of The Month stopped running.

Trivia

• If a user double-clicked another Habbo on their home page, all the widgets and stickers started spinning around.
