about

Habbox was founded many moons ago as the first Habbo fansite – in the summer of 2003 by a Habbo named Mizki, who had also been a Hobba (volunteer hotel moderator) when that scheme was still running.

Habbox started out as a small project, but Mizki soon realised that she needed other people to help her with the site! This is where Sierk came to learn of Habbox, and he and Mizki became very good friends.

As Sierk took more of a development role for the site, he was handed the reins as Web Page Manager and eventually took on full ownership of the site – he remains the owner to this day.

In late 2009, :Jin: became co-owner of Habbox after many years working at the site, as Sierk no longer took an active role in the day-to-day running.

In 2014, long-standing General Manager, xxMATTGxx, took a step back from Habbox and joined Sierk and :Jin: in the co-owner role. xxMATTGxx later resigned as co-owner in March 2017.

 While the site owners provide important technical and financial support, the running of Habbox is for the most part overseen by the General Management team, consisting of lawrawrrr, Ozad, and FlyingJesus.

Departments at Habbox

Habbox currently has several departments, without which it would not be able to operate. These are:

• Competitions
• Events
• HabboxLive
• Help Desk
• Room Builders
• Articles
• Content Design
• Graphics
• Rare Values
• HabboxForum

Although each department has its own set of functions on Habbox and/or Habbo, the site could not run without the fantastic work of each one.

You can find out more about each department by visiting the Habbox Departments Wiki page.
