Help us fight the content theft!

Hello!

I'm asking for everyone's help! Recently our Happy Home "Happy Toast" chair was copybotted and ripped! We were told the texture was released on a forum. I'd like anyone who sees this to put in their blog, any cat toast that is NOT sold in happy home, or does not have "Riki Yifu", Micah Kuhn, or Note Buaku listed as the creator is a rip. Please report it to us! Do not buy the product or pass it out.

We will be watermarking our TGA files from now on to prevent further theft!

Thank you for your support, we LOVE you!

-Riki Yifu

INTRODUCING KENNETH!

Harajukubox is on the move! We're planning to hold major events every month now! Starting with August(Skin Month, exclusive one-time only skins from a slew of skin designers), and in September(Fashion Month, exclusive one-time only clothes from a slew of clothing designers).

Of course with a the new changes and ambitions we needed a little help! So I'd like to introduce our newest Event Host for HBOX, Kenneth Hrachov! Here's what Ken had to say!

Hello Tharr!

I'm basically coming to all you fellow Hboxer's today to introduce myself as the new host of all your future HBox events.

For those of you who don't already know me my name is Kenneth Hrachov aka. Kenny aka. KenKen. I've been playing second life for about two years now and most of that time you could find me in or around Harajukubox may it be in the old Hara in Odessa Graceful(RIP!! WE LOVEEEE YOUUUU.) or the new super spectacular Harajukubox City and Harajukubox town where I currently reside (Yay!).

As I have grown to love Hbox so much I feel a great urge to bring almost everyone I know to the city to experience it as I have and hopefully growto love it as I have as well which leads to my new position as host.

Using this platform I will do my best to bring the Hbox community closer together through upcoming splendiferous events and try tobring back some of the old faces from Odessa as well as some new ones to form a more tight knit gang of people who will inhabit this wonderful sim.

That said I would like to say I'm really honored I was chosen to be the new host and would like to thank all of the Hbox Admins for this opportunity to relieve a little stress as I know they are very busy people who would really like to be at every single event but GOD PEOPLE, DEY GOT LIVES 2!11!!! hahha, so hopefully that's where I will come in to bridge that little gap.

Over all I'm excited about the upcoming plans we have for HBox andwill be happy to see you all there. I know alot of you I havealready met but if I haven't feel free to say Hi to me I'm a pretty friendly person who does bite but not hard of course :), If you have any questions or suggestions for events feel free to message me in-world or drop me a notecard and I'll be happy torespond as soon as I can.

Yours Trulyyy,

The newest Local pooPoo,

KennethHrachovKennyKenken <3

Please offer Ken a warm welcome! You'll be seeing a lot of him!

Love,

Riki

Happy House opens in Hbox town!

Hey all!

We've been so busy down in the Hbox sims, but we've got good news! A brand new furniture store has claimed it's spot in the sought after Hbox town, and I'm giving everyone first peek!

Happy House is a unique furniture store based on very whimsical and cute (or kawaii!) Japanese designs for very very reasonable prices. They offer just a few products right now, but more are coming out every week! Ever wish you had a typical, small Japanese bathroom? What about a floor chair that looks like toast?? How about happy lamps and nightstands that greet you with a smile? These are just some examples of what Happy House is coming out with!

This toast chair is so adorable, and comes with the butter footrest. XD
It also comes in different styles with faces on it!

So happy!

These chairs are really slick, all kinds of colors and 3 different sits in each one!

Come on.. a 3 prim lamp thats THAT cute? for 45 L why wouldn't you?
The dresser is for sale too, and it's only 75 L!

Happy House can be seen in Hbox town, right on the main road!

Fishing Tournament at Hbox Town!

Heyyyy everyone!

Hbox town has that fishing game everyone is so crazy about! Our residents love it so we decided to hold a public fishing tournament! Click on the poster to see more! Fun! Prizes! Lots of L! And our nutty hbox butts to keep you entertained.. :D and trust me - we will.

Emelie loves to fish!

In case you didn't know, this interactive fishing game by 7 Seas has really cropped up all over SL! You buy a fishing rod and fish your day away, catching very well made and very cute fishie pets to keep! They swim around you, blow bubbles, and you can name them! Keep them close to your side or in a simulated aquarium where you really have to take care of them for them to live!

All the fish are really spectacularly done, prim and sculpty made with moving parts such as blinking eyes and moving fins. Everything from angelfish to koi to the super ultra rare nessie and LOLcatfish!! It's too much fun!

We will be holding two tournaments. One limited tournament where everyone is at level 0. This is a fair tournament for all that even the beginner can enter! We will also have an advanced unlimited tournament for those experienced fishers who have leveled their rods ( whoa that sounds bad ) and want to show off their skills. Tournaments are won by who catches the most fish in the time alloted :D

We can't wait to see you there!
