The year Habbo turns 25 also marks 10 years since the end of one of the community's most memorable features: Habbo Homes.
Introduced in 2006, Habbo Homes were decorative profile pages that, in addition to displaying information such as rooms, groups, and badges, also allowed users to customize their profiles with various wallpaper and sticker options. They were not only a space for users to express their creativity, but also a barometer of their popularity within Habbo, as other users' comments and ratings on their profiles guaranteed a prominent position in the community.
However, as Habbo evolved, Sulake implemented an in-game feature for viewing a user's profile, which, while simpler, provides the information needed to get to know someone. It also encouraged the community to express their creativity by building rooms. Social media also gained more relevance in this context. With the functionality obsolete, Sulake decided to remove Habbo Homes when it implemented the new version of the website in 2015. However, out of consideration for those who dedicated time and money to decorating their profiles, Sulake rewarded them with a Habbo Home poster, exactly as they were decorated.
Now, Puhekupla has taken the time to map out the posters that were distributed at the time — approximately 180,000, across 9 hotels. We've compiled the information into a Google Drive spreadsheet so that fansites can integrate it into their functionality and allow any user to reference this memorable part of Habbo's history. Therefore, it will be necessary to use the Habbo API to offer a user-friendly view.
Please note that not all registered users prior to 2015 received a Habbo Home Poster, only those who dedicated time, money, and were active at the time the furniture was distributed. Our list is not exhaustive, as there may be some posters that our scanners were unable to find. We didn't associate posters with their corresponding usernames because many changed their usernames or were deleted and eventually new accounts were created with their previous usernames. Therefore, posters were only associated with these users' usernames, which cannot be changed.
