Wow yano i never knew HabboxLive got so many listeners.. I always though ClubHabbo got the most listeners..

[Smits]

Cause habbox live is the shizz :]

[---MAD---]

You learn something new every day one once said ;).

[le harry]

yes, it's great isn't it.

[Samishlol]

You sure do MAD.

[Smits]

Whoever said that, i agree with them

[Lentus]

[Samishlol]

I'd love to be a DJ for HabboxLive

[Catzsy]

Well not wishing to spoil the fun but are they all 'listeners' as I thought
that every time someone clicked on the Habbox.com page they count as a listener so the figures aren't really a true reflection of the popularity of the radio? Same with google bots on the forum and the huge amount of guests? I maybe wrong in this. Quite honestly Habbox would still be the most popular site at the moment without this perceived massaging of the figures.

Yes they are listeners because they are listening to the radio. If you stop the radio, you are no longer a listener :). The same with any website really.

[Samishlol]

Catszy just got told

[GoldenMerc]

I agree with Rosie here, I tend to not visit Habbox.com anymore because of how annoying that radio is on the site, I think it was only put there because HabboxLive was rather unpopular at the time,Now maybe you should try it without it there.

Hmm they are not voluntary or real in the sense that they have pro-actively tuned in..... ROFL talk about splitting hairs and actually agreeing that the figures are virtually false.

Sam - Mad and I tell each other off all the time - this is very old news :)

[Samishlol]

Catzsy give up lol

You never mentioned that in your previous post, which is why I posted what I did. Now all I suggest is....
http://www.habboxforum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=12

[Sammeth.]

Catzsy give up lol

She has a fairly good point, though some may disagree with her. Thats the point in this forum. To debate out the pros and cons of each suggestion.

Edit: OOOps :(! I double posted.

[Catzsy]

Catzsy give up lol

I did?:D - I suggest you look again, my nearly new friend. I have to go out now though so I haven't given up :D

[Samishlol]

You should know me from HabMate

[Xarea]

8Freak8 admitted that most of the people who are 'tuned in' via the homepage, actually mute their radio. In reality, they hardly have any listeners.

[Samishlol]

True but most people tend to listen. HabboxLive is way popular then ClubHabbo

[,Jess,]

8Freak8 admitted that most of the people who are 'tuned in' via the homepage, actually mute their radio. In reality, they hardly have any listeners.

Admittedly we do get "listeners" who have Habbox muted however the purpose of the radio being on Habbox.com is so that it gets noticed and over the time it has been on Habbox.com the radio has become increasingly popular. I know that because I've been at HxL for just about a year now and the transformation is amazing.

Habbox.com wasn't working earlier and we had over 100 listeners even after we had to restart the whole radio server. So we don't have "hardly any listeners". I think lately HxL itself has become so much more popular and hopefully will continue doing so.

[dannyisnotamazing]

Don't see why your slating them for putting the radio on Habbox.com, they should of done it a long time ago.

[Alkaz]

Yah i never realised with habbox. its outstanding.

[WarezKid]

Catzsy give up lol

Err, leave her alone, and stop making pointless posts :rolleyes:

Anyways, I do argee that habbox site, shouldnt really, have the radio on it, but then, youcan have cookies enabled, and if they are not enable then you just an idiot. If you dont like the radio, just press stop,


Oh btw, if your gonna say, i cant be ***** to turn it off, then your not ***** enough to be on the PC ;)

[Samishlol]

Charming atitude.

[Camy]

It may be popular, but no habbo radio is popular really.
I mean, usually there is like 8/9 maybe 10 thousand people on habbo, and only 200 listeners?
Habbo radios arent that popular in reality, but they are more popular than they used to be.

[Samishlol]

I see what your saying but HabboxLive gets more listeners then any other fansite that's why i said there really popular.

[Adzeh]

I wondered how long it would take before somebody like you got involved.

To be honest I find it quite impertinent when people find it there duty to try to change a positive post/thread into a negative impression. Sam. has given us a compliment, and you have tried to turn it right around, which I just find rude :).

Oh and don't think I missed you out either GoldenMerc, I just haven't got the time to be quoting you as well :).

[Samishlol]

I gave you a complaint?

[L!nK.]

Catzsy give up lol
Stop sucking up to mad.

We don't want people to know you wet the bed now do we!

Another thread turned into a spam thread.

And yh, i know habbox is the most popular radio station, but radio stations in general are not popular.

[Samishlol]

They are but people have there favourite radio station so they don't all tune into one.

Nobody is saying that you are not doing an amazing job. You are! The problem is that people will not appreciate how hard you are working if the 'bot listeners' for want of a better word make up quite a lot of the numbers. To me it means that any credibility that the radio has is lost and all your efforts and those of the team go unoticed which is a shame. I hope you can see where I am coming from here. :)

Don't you think that saying something like this to a member is a tad rude as well - it is not nice to be personal and disrespect somebody.

[--ss--]

Habboxlive is the radio for Habbox so it has a right to be on the Habbox.com homepage, I'm not too sure why a separate site was create for the radio but the radio has just been put back to its right place, the homepage of Habbox.com.

For all we know all the listeners of Clubhabbo could only be on the site to check the guides or look for competitions on their homepage and may not be listening to the radio.

The funny thing is most people only use the argument of all the listeners are from habbox.com well the radio has allrights to be onit.

[Grig]

Habbox Live is becoming increasingly popular. However, it is ture that there are quite a bit of people just come to Habbox for the rare values. But the great majority of people actually tune into the radio. I would also love to compliment ,Jess, on the wonderfull job she has done as radio manager so far.

Thanks for the kind words - I will pass them on to Jess :).

[jrh2002]

HxL is really on the up as far as I can see. It has gone from 150 ish listeners a few months ago to hitting around 350 over the last week and currently at 298 listeners with Sammeth.
If the radio had just been put on habbox I could understand people saying most the listeners are just from the site but since the radio has become much more active there has been a massive listener increase.

Well done everybody at HxL

[GoldenMerc]

Oh thanks i feel special now Adam 8-)
Anyways ye it does help get the listners up fair enough you got 100+ listners on HabboxLive this morning but i still think its annoying

I agree with Catzsy, i visit habbox.com but with my sound on mute, as always. So im not actually listening to the Radio it plays as i forget to click stop as i dont hear anything, therefor its a false number when im on the website as i dont interactive or even listen.

[Sammeth.]

Well it must have quite a lot of listeners. I mean, just check http://www.habboxworld.com/index.php. After one days worth of advertising HabboxWorld on the radio - look where it got them! :D

The stats are counted by people who actually connect to the radio. Not the site.

If I visited the site without any capable media player, it would not count me as a listener.

Same with the googlebot, it nor any other bot does not connect to the radio, only archiving the site.

[GoldenMerc]

Jeeez Sammmm you did well LOL
But woulnt you just rather have it on HabboxLive like it was put on Habbox.com to boost the listners?

True but how many people don't have a capable media player. Anyway as I said HabboxLive is popular enough without having to make it seem even more so and that includes the forum as well. I think it gives it less kudos when the hits and bots are included. I am not attacking either just the 'tricks' to up the figures which aren't needed. The forum right now has 21 members and 59 guests which is a bit silly. Just my opinion. Thanks :)

What are you talking about :S? I am slightly confused. All forums will have bots once they are indexed on search engines. If you search for Habbox forum on google/msn/yahoo etc, you will find results because we are indexed on there. Bots are good. Very good.

Bots don't connect to the radio so I am not sure what the problem is there.

[GoldenMerc]

That most users who go on Habbox.com go on for values not for the radio i know theres a way to stop it but still you shoulnt have to realy.

I think what she is trying to say that there are some instances where people boast about the amount of guests Habbox have on at any one time, when in truth they are, in majority, search engine spiders. That is not to say anyone is blaming you or Habbox in anyway as essentially they are beyond your control and it would be undesirable to stop them.
As for the radio everyone has valid points, I am guessing if Habbox were to revert back to having the radio just on the HxL website listeners would drop considerably however I don't really see why people are saying that it is a bad thing that Habbox have the radio on automatic play on the main site - name me a popular Habbo site that doesn't? They virtually all do! There is nothing wrong with what Habbox are doing; I am sure everyone will admit that the fact it is on the main site means a massive listener increase, but hell, why else would they put it on the main site?!

Sorry that's a bit rantish, it might not make full sense :P

[Grig]

When I was a DJ on HxL, I saw the official shoutcast stats. Obviously we will have people who go on and off Habbox for the rares values and there are quite a bit of people. The listeners are now constant and even before when the radio was posted on Habbox it only got 120 listeners. But now it often gets over 300 on peak time (most of these listeners are unique), this shows great improvment of the popularity of both Habbox and in particular Habbox Live.

Yes definitely.

[Catzsy]

Yes definitely.

But how does Grig know that there are 300 listeners and they are unique. What are the actual stats Mr. ---MAD---. :)

[---MAD---]

Because theres a page on shoutcast where the DJs can view how many are unique. Plus you can also view how many listeners are unique in sams 2 and possibly the other dj programs the djs use.

Like I said, only humans can tune in and if a few users do open multiple radio tabs, they will very unlikely open up 100 of them lol.

It's best to just accept the fact the number of listeners is the real number of listeners and not be so picky over it ;).

That's called arrogance and being difficult IMO. You could believe that dinosaurs never existed and a scientist made up the bones/structures.

There is nothing arrogant about asking the true position on anything -
if people had accepted the status quo as you want me to then we never would have known that dinosaurs even existed and would still think the world was flat. But I don't want to wind you up anymore as I see you have got a little angry so I will leave it. :D

I am not angry nor winded up, don't worry. You can't get me that easy ;).

Catzy, MAD has just told you the program they use shows unique listeners aswell. As MAD said thats arrogance he has no reason to lie so stop trying to make him say what you want to hear.

Yes it was a joke! :D

[Dentafrice,]

Well why joke about a serious matter, as he said the stats on the site.. are the stats on the radio.. no alteration.

If you don't believe him, why don't you just visit the DNAS page and view the unique yourself instead of just complaining in this thread for him to provide you with the unique when you can look yourself.

[msb.]

Look yeah... I am gonna finish the pointless argument....

Radio 1 ftw

[WarezKid]

Caleb it was a joke when I said 'who rang your bell?' not about the stats. Thanks cos I still think they are cooked and Habbox doesn't need to do that - just my opinion. Sorry I do know how to access the DNAS page and in any event it would just show who had clicked onto Habbox.com surely? MAD has replied anyway :)

[Dentafrice,]

DNAS:
Stream is up at 32 kbps with 95 of 400 listeners (93 unique)

Habbox.com:
DJ-Rachy
94 listeners

So that means 1 person has a multiple tab open ;) I don't see how that could be rigged?

Aaaah! But everybody who clicks on Habbox.com activates this surely whether they have their speakers on or not and it could only be for a minute to check the rare values which you could do 3 times in 5 minutes. I am not saying I am right in this but is that not true?

[Dentafrice,]

Anyone who goes to Habbox.com (who doesn't have the radio deactivated.. which you can do in 30 day time slots) will see the radio, its set to autostart yes.. but for the listener to actually be counted as unique I believe it has to be connected for x time.

[Catzsy]

Okay, very well explained. :)

[Grig]

Basically anyone can view these stats, not only the DJs.

Just click the link below;

Habbox Live Stats (http://shoutcast1.tidyhosts.com:9028/index.html)

It shows the unique listeners. Im also sure by the fact that the amount of hits on Habbox Live has also gone up rapidly in the past few months.

Also if listeners just went into Habbox to check out the rare values quickly, then there wouldn't be stability in the listeners- the amount would jump a lot. But that isn't the case at all.

[k]

Catszy just got told
wow, you spam like crazy.
and yeah hxl is good.

[laurenJP]

HXL are a very popular fansite.
Aaah, CH get many listeners, but obviously not as many!

[Slash]

wow, you spam like crazy.
and yeah hxl is good.
wow.. coming from you.. just.. wow..

habboxlive used to get no-one till it was added to the homepage.
