It makes the forum look tacky + Habbox don't really use plugins.

Arcade is a plugin

I agree with that though ClubHabbo and all have shoutbox's aswell

Yeah but do you know how long it took to get the arcade? :rolleyes:

And habbox used to have a shoutbox but it got removed (twice)

[Borat.]

um what are these things below our usertitles? I think their called badges jake. And yeah I agree it would make it look tacky. I like it just the way it is.

No there not called badges there called UserRanks

Get your facts right before your un natural need to proove me wrong

[Dentafrice1]

I have been here quite a while and have seen many changes,

I feel Habbox has got the look and everything they need to make it work perfectly.

Habbox don't use many plugins due to security reasons I believe, of course Arcade and userranks being one.

I think it would make it look tacky and unHabbox.

This forum isn't just for Habbo, there are other people who come here who don't care about Habbo.

Fair enough :P

Also im aware of my spelling issus on the thread title , but I was in a rush lol

[Dentafrice1]

Was that last post a rush too? You mispelled issues

Theres actually a security reason as to why we do not use badges/awards
From what i have heard it would require a hack/plugin that would leave HxF vulnerable to attacks
Thats just from what ive heard though ;)

:o Really

*Removes from my forum* Lol

Im suprised other forums like ClubHabbo are fine then

Had a quick browse and heres a nifty quote from Jin that explains it quite technically ;)


Hacks can often cause closed security loop holes in vBulletin to re-open and even create new ones.

Because without spending stupid amounts of time checking through PHP code no one at Habbox can be bothered to try and discover security flaws in codes.

We tend not to use them especially the more complex ones which uses the database because in some cases it can be used against the forum by injecting SQL which could corrupt, delete or even give admin access to the forum.

[Dentafrice1]

LOL! At Jin trying to sound all technical :P

[Barkseh2131]

Jin dosent try to sound technical, he is!!

Hence his job Techie Lol

[joshuar]

The badges have come up time and time again, the forum would indeed look tacky with them and it would also mean we would probably need to hire an Administrator alone to deal with adding badges etc.

Plus, the badges system may well create secruity problems, which we don't want.

[today]

Hence his job Techie Lol

Ex job? :rolleyes:

[:Jamie]

Badges plugin makes a forum look tacky.

User ranks is not a plugin (if that is what you were implying :)). I am also not sure what the awards plugin would bring into Habbox Forum.

[today]

It's been asked many times and so has the arcade, we've got the arcade but look how often its updated..

[lick me]

they're not badges, LOL.

[F32]

The arcade has never been updated.

I was planning to add new games within the next few days if I get the time. The arcade is not a priority to be honest ;).

[PenguinFluid]

international Habbox's have arcade editors

Perhaps you should?

Then i take back my statement. :p

Oh and jake, giving a new user admin for just the arcade is not needed and can be a hazzard. :rolleyes:

Yes you made the statement just after I planned on doing it lol :p. I was going to do it earlier but coursework deadline tomorrow kicked that plan off the table ;).

Also @peguin's suggestion. Habbox UK Forum has way too many admins as it is, no need to hire more to do a small job that nearly any other admin can do. And plus its not a demanding task. An update every now and then is more than enough ;).

Ah, i see fair enough then.

Oh && Jake if your suggesting like .Ca or the .Us forum have this special staff member then yeah they can as its a small community and hardly any risk where as .UK has a very large community and is too much of a risk for any one to take upon and it really falls under the Forum Manager's job tbh, and as Mr. Mad said its not a demanding task, every so often one or two updates keeps teh VIP's happy.! :rolleyes: till they get bored of the games.

[PenguinFluid]

Well the games are for V.I.P's so shouldnt the V.I.P editor do it ? OK :P

Yes however you need access to ftp or cpanel at least, which im unsure if Habbox give out to anyone but forum manager.

Tho im unsure, but good point.

[---MAD---]

Not really. VIP editors deal with making sure the VIPs get what they pay for. VIPs pay for an arcade and they are getting that. We have not said in the feature list "a new game every week in the arcade". If that was the case, then it may fall under their list of jobs :p.

[cocaine]

you guys should have admins that aren't doing GCSE's or important exams/events - so they have more time to maintain the forum and stuff

*COUGH* me *COUGH*.

I AM SUCH A GOOD EXAMPLE.

agreed. PHP. for admin!

[today]

Rofl, erm thanks. o.o though were off topic here.

[Axel]

We don't want tacky clubhabbo stuff.

[Yoshimitsui]

Yeah, this job is given to Admins that dont have an extreamly busy role. Hence why i have that job!


international Habbox's have arcade editors

Perhaps you should?

Who said its clubhabbos stuff, I think badges would be cool, but it will make habbox seem more immature.

roflmao

you hardly know me, so why comment?

ive been tech admin on 3 different vb forums..

[nvrspk4]

:o Really

*Removes from my forum* Lol

Im suprised other forums like ClubHabbo are fine then

ClubHabbo was just hacked wasn't it :P


international Habbox's have arcade editors

Perhaps you should?

International Habbox's also aren't as threatened in terms of security so can afford the risk of giving another person FTP access to the site ;)


Maybe make it his/her job? :p

Do you mean to call myself and Wayne women?!


Anyway, its not really necessary to have the hack, just because ClubHabbo has it doesn't mean we have to go running off to install it and cause potential safety flaws just to imitate CH :P

[Dentafrice1]

Nvr :P You need bullets like Wayne for yours jobs :P

[nvrspk4]

Nvr :P You need bullets like Wayne for yours jobs :P

I'd have so many lines it'd take up half the page :rolleyes:

[Dentafrice1]

I wanna join your ultra 1337 army

ontopic: Its a no go its a security risk nice idea though even though it would be tacky.

[beau03]

Habboxforum has its own ideas. And there doing well :) Let's stick with that:D

[PenguinFluid]

Yeah I know beu03 and it was just an idea :|

Also I didnt do it just because of ClubHabbo , I used it as an example.

Nvrspk4 ClubHabbo's site was hacked , tha wouldnt involve a forum plugin seeing as they havent completely different domains
