    On 7/12/06, a band of brothers from /b/, YTMND, SomethingAwful, GNAA, Encyclopedia Dramatica and myg0t took a vow. A vow to close the Habbo Hotel pool, for it was ridden with AIDS and diabeetus. It was later confirmed that the pool also had, in fact, stingrays. The brothers valiantly closed the pool, despite the outcrys from the habbofags, and the mods' banhammer. That vow was taken nearly a year ago. The AIDS is still there. It is time to honor the B&, to contain the AIDS... To close the pool.
