{.right}**Ever got the feeling the comments section is a bit... bland?** Yeah, we did too. So, we came up with a little something to add that little bit more colour and customization to your Puhekupla experience! You can now **change your avatar**, which is a little picture of you, customized to your own needs, that will appear next to your comments and also messages. **OMG I WANT I WANT I WANT** Alright, calm down? If you're that crazy about it, click onto your profile, edit your profile and then click: 'Edit Avatar'. There, a box should pop up where you can edit what it looks like. Remember, this is only the start. We'll be adding new backgrounds and foregrounds and stances very soon so you can get even more personal. Please note that it might take as much as one minute for it to update on the site, so please be patient and _do not panic!_ Also, if yours doesn't appear at first, you might have to clear your cache. Hope you like this little something! More of this to come, we think! **Mark** and **LiquefiedFilth**

Hiya! [small]*For one last time*[/small] Since starting at Puhekupla on the 21st of December 2010, I've had the privilege to work with some really amazing people, and an amazing user base. I started as a designer, making sure articles looked good and neat, as well as working on random designs for the site. I then moved up into the community manager position, which I absolutely love doing as it gave me a chance to really get in touch with our loyal users, interact with them and get feedback about what they really wanted. Each month I also hosted a graphic design competition called PixelBlitz, which gave our lovely community a chance to show their skills and create some really great graphics. Being a designer myself, it was really fun to see all of the different designs you all came up with! Helping introduce the Puhekupla homepages was probably the greatest experience for me, as I got to have a lot of input into how it looked, what would be available and especially what the users wanted. We were really able to make something for our members that they would appreciate and use every day on our website. We've done a lot as a community and built Puhekupla up into a really great site. I've been around for almost 3 years now, and I honestly send a massive good luck to the site for the next 3 years, with your new community manager LiquefiedFilth. I really hope you've enjoyed my work, it's been so fun getting to know each and every one of you, and I look forward to seeing you soon! **- Vado**  {.center}

 {.center} Everyone likes a little riddle, don't they? Well, have three! Wander into the Puhekupla household and find Mark, Vado and LiquefiedFilth all giving you a riddle to solve. If you think you know what they are trying to say, enter the answers with your Puhekupla username at the bottom and you who get it right will win yourself a cool new badge! So, what are you waiting for? Visit the Puhekupla House today! [Click here to t-t-TELEPORT](http://www.habbo.com/room/62531199) You’ll find yourself in the courtyard. Go through the gate, into the door and into our house! **#### This competition has closed! Sorry if you didn't get to enter ** --- [form=4]

{.right}Hiya! So, over the past few months Puhekupla has been through quite a lot. We thought we were going to have to go into closure, due to certain people in the community wanting to take us down.. but I am here today, to tell you that we are back - for good. I\'d like to personally thank everyone who purchased VIP in this tough time, as this really did help us more than you can imagine. What we\'re trying to do now, is make Puhekupla better for the long run, as you all know Puhekupla is the main source for all furni updates, which is what we will be focusing on mainly from now on. You can count on us to get all of your latest furni and Habbo news first, before anyone else. Focusing on just Habbo news though, doesn\'t and won\'t take away from the community aspect of the website, however it won\'t be a main priority anymore. We may focus on this more in the future once we\'ve properly gotten back on our feet. We\'ve hired 2 new reporters, desativaado.ban and Funkyhabbo to bring you the latest Habbo news all around the world. We also have a new graphic designer Bauke, who has already been doing work for us ([mainly on our Puhekupla Twitter](https://twitter.com/Puhekupla_com)) --- #### **WE NEED YOUR HELP!** We want feedback! Good and bad. If you don\'t like something about the website let us know, and we will try and fix it. If you have any suggestions on how we can do something better, let us know and we will try to implement it the best we can. We accept all feedback as it helps the website build. Looking forward to hearing your feedback :) Hope you all have a good day! **By Vado, Community Manager**
