Great La was founded by Staircase on February 16th, 2006. Fax also helped with Great La since the start. Just three months later on May 4th, 2006, Great La became an official fansite of Habbo Hotel Singapore. Over the years, Great La has grown to become one of the most successful fansites of Habbo SG, with a large and strong fanbase.

The Great La Radio was introduced in 2006. Great La originally focused fully on our website and content, but decided to shift some of that focus to a radio. It proved to be a success, and is now one of our most popular features!

On October 13th, 2007, Great La restarted as a forum powered by Invision Power Board. The database of our former website had been accidentally deleted, resulting in the loss of all 50,000+ posts, 2,000+ news articles, and over 2,000 registered users. The forum was a success, and Great La became even more active than before.

Great La 2 or GL2 was launched on December 21st, 2007. Every version following GL2 was designed by Staircase. The name was given because it's basically a restarted version of Great La from the ground. Because of our mishap with the database, we restarted completely, basically building a new Great La from scratch, thus giving the new website the name GL2.

On February 2nd 2008, Great La updated to Great La 2.1, also designed by Staircase. The format of the layout is the same, but the style has been changed completely to fit the new Habbo. The original GL2 was made based off of the old Habbo website, so to keep our image fresh, we decided to change our layout as well.

Because of the limitations Invision Power Board had, we decided to switch over to vBulletin on March 21st, 2008. This allowed us the flexibility to add more features for Deluxe Club members, to have a better rule-violation system, and more detailed forum permissions.

In addition to the switch of forum software, we also changed our skin to a more modern and dark one.

We decided it was time for a change on Great La, because we were getting slow on updates. The new layout is a color-themed Web 2.0-ish layout that is a lot more lightweight than our previous versions. GL3 was launched on June 20th, 2008.

Along with the update, many new features were created for Great La (or brought back from our pre-GL2 days and improved). This update included the return of blogs, the addition of guides, and many updates/minor bug fixes to the rare values and news system!

Great La had a major facelift to shift our style back to Habbo with GL3.1. It was launched on October 24th, 2008. The site is primarily the same; the only changes are aesthetic.

Great La brought back the fighting game from our pre-GL2 days, but much more advanced. The system was recoded from scratch. Some new features included the addition of armor, potions, skills, MP, maps and many new monsters, a trading post, and many new weapons. The fighting interface was also revamped to look more organized and made it easier and faster to play the game.

The See-Through Priest also came back, and after the GL4 launch, was renamed to the See-Through Bishop.

On July 27th, 2009, Great La finally launched its new version, GL4. The delay between GL3 and GL4 was longer than any other version. Originally, GreatQuest was going to be a feature of GL4, but we decided to release the game early.
