Do the terms “falling furni”, “DTTF” and, perhaps with a knot at the pit of your stomach, “autokick”, ring any bells?
If so, it’s more than likely you’re one of the millions of teenagers of the early-to-mid noughties who were sucked into the online virtual world of Habbo Hotel, which marks 15 years of continued service this weekend.
Habbo Hotel, a social game for teens, is back online in three countries after shutting down earlier this month amidst reports of pornographic chat targeted at underage users.
Venture capital firm Balderton has pulled support for Habbo, an online social game targeted toward younger audiences, after allegations that pornographic chatting was taking place in its virtual world.
I kinda want to read what the heck these pervs are saying in this game...but I also don't. People are gross.
well i played couple of MMO games and its common in all. I see people talking sexual in them. Now idk the ages of the people but it is a problem but cant be stop
Yes it is. I can't even let my son (you read that read, gays hitting on my 6 year old kid.) play Little Big Planet 2 cause of you freakin weirdos. Thanks alot @ holes.
Edit: Nuke, you're probably one of those idiots. Yeah let me catch someone doing that to my kid outside of gaming. You won't see me on n4g anymore cause of a murder charge.
I think children need to learn to deal with this. If it isn't on the internet, they will be exposed to it in other areas.
Teach a man to fish!
Yeah, easier said than done. I know!
it happens all the time this isn't new its just cause free 2 play finally has taken off in America wow cant wait till Americans see the f2p dating mmos lol
