Sunday 17th June

In an effort to document my experiences online I've decided to focus on Habbo Hotel as a starting point. I joined around 2004 because lots of my friends were on it and it was truly a great way to meet new people. After a while I left and enjoyed other cool things however its recent appearance in the news prompted me to check it out again. After logging in I was greeted by this message:

A recent Channel 4 investigation found that the site regularly contained sexual chat which was increasingly alarming due to the fact the site was aimed at people as young as 13.  Not only did many stores stop stocking Habbo currency but Sulake decided to mute all chat within the site until they decided what to do. As I write this nobody knows when the company will decide to unmute Habbo Hotel however I have doubts if they can honestly fix the problem. I'll be investigating from now on, hopefully having a good time on the website while posting my experiences that will hopefully resemble some good times in comparison to sexual and paedophile incidents that have been reported.

So far though everything is deadly quiet. I was at the lovely beach, crystal water, palm trees, deckchairs and enjoying mouthwatering mocktails!

So really it's been a pretty good experience :)
