{.right}I hope you're all well, we haven't spoke for a while. Why? Everyone's super busy. But we're back and want to make your experience as good as it possibly can be. This is why we're running the Puhekupla Review for 2014, to find out what you most use the website for and what you think will improve it. If you have a minute to spare, why not take part? It's anonymous and nothing is tracked, we just want to know what you think. Of course, if you want to make yourself known, leave your name and we'll drop you a quick thank you on twitter or on your profile. So, without further ado, please visit [the survey by clicking here.](https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/F7HTWSV) This survey really helps us and gives you a chance to mould Puhekupla's future. We hope you take part in the survey and we'll speak again when its complete. **Mark and Joe**, still looking after Carl...

{.right}Hi everyone! welcome to the new Puhekupla! We've worked really hard over the past months so we could release this before the summer. Please take a look around and let us know what you think. You'll see some small improvements in the next couple of weeks :D Mark, Joe & Terregan

{.right}**Hiya!** It's summer, it's getting warm outside, and PixelBlitz is finally back! Calling all designers: It's your time to shine! PixelBlitz is a monthly graphics competition Puhekupla runs for all of our budding pixel artists out there to take part in to challenge themselves to create better and better graphics. Each month we open up voting to the public with two or more finalists, and let the community vote who should be crowned the winner of that selected month. The winner of PixelBlitz scores some really cool prizes! This month we're giving away Puhekupla VIP, which allows them to have extra features on their homepage such as Twitter, YouTube and more notes. VIP members also get a cool badge to show off on their homepage. The winner will also get a special badge for their profile. The runner ups (those who make it to the voting stage), will also get a badge. And the theme for Summer 2014 is #### My crazy summer! Check out and enter now! [](/en/pixelblitz) [lightbox=https://puhekupla.com/images/uploads/badge_pb_summer14_1.png][lightbox=https://puhekupla.com/images/uploads/badge_pb_runnerup.png] Can't wait to see all of your entries! **Terregan**, Community Manager

{.right}**Hey all!** You've probably noticed the slow community side of the site, which is to do with real life commitments from myself and also Mark, so that's where we believed it's time to get a fresh face in, from the community, to bring it back to life. This is where **Terregan** comes in! He's our brand, spanking new **Community Manager** and will be working alongside Mark and I to get the community vibe buzzing again. He's young with fresh and exciting ideas which we believe will help bump up the site and strive to become official once again, which would be lovely. I'm sure you'll all join us in welcoming Terregan to the team and wish him the best of success with his role on the site. I'm positive he'll do fantastic. *For me? *I'll be taking a much more backseat role. It's time to give someone else a chance at being a manager of such a great site. I was given free reign of the community and so shall he. So, if you don't see me, I'm still here, still tweeting on our official twitter account and still commenting on the news articles, but Terregan will be our main man. **LiquefiedFilth,** ready to catch them summer vibes...

Pssst, is anyone there? Hope you guys are all ok! It’s been a long time since we all spoke and you got a blog post like this, so really, it’s good time for a new, big, exciting one. We’ve got a few things to tell you throughout this article so sit back and relax. --- {.right}**Puhekupla is no longer an official fansite.** It’s a shame but it’s an announcement we have to make. During the recent fansite submission campaign, Habbo asked the then current fansites to resubmit as well, something that has never been done before. Unfortunately, we as a fansite didn’t notice this and have therefore missed out this time. We still trust you guys will continue to use our fansite like you always have – we still have tons and tons of online guests and users every single minute. Thanks for all your supportive messages that have gone through to our emails, comments on other fansites’ news reports and even on twitter with tweets directly to Habbo themselves. It means a lot, your support is fantastic and heart-warming, so thank you. We’re lucky to have such a dedicated and diverse community. --- **Something big coming your way…** Summer 2014. Keep your eyes open. --- **Interested in management?** We’re always looking to expand at Puhekupla, so that’s why we’re going to start searching for another member of our management team. If you think you’d be interested in taking up a position with us, please **register your interest ** by emailing **[email protected]**. Note, this is _not_ an application; it’s simply for us to see who we’ll be able to work with the best before any official recruitment begins. Please include a little bit about yourself with your email so we know who we’re talking to. --- {.right}**We’re hiring!** It’s that time again and we’re looking for **Designers and News Reporters** from all walks of life and languages. Remember, we’re international and intend to remain that way, so that’s why we’re looking for new staff members. If you think you’d like to have a go and join our brilliant team, please follow the template below and email **[email protected]**. - Real Name - Puhekupla Username - First Language - Position interested in - Why you should be part of the team - Past experience (if any) - Examples of your work (For a designer, some of your graphics, quality over quantity!

We can’t wait to hear from you! --- **Last but not least, a quick catch up!** Those of you who’ve won badges recently and have not received them, please don’t worry, they’ll be delivered quickly.
