Merging Forums

[Seatherny]

Someone had suggested in the other thread that it would be beneficial to merge many forums, so it would be easier to see all the threads in 1 forum instead of looking through 10 different forums. Full credit goes to whoever suggested this idea.

I suggest having the following forums:

Habbox
Development Announcements can just be a sub-forum of Habbox Announcements.

Help / Questions / Feedback
Unchanged

Trading
Merge Categorized Rare Trading and Normal Trading due to the lack of threads.

Habbo
Bobba - Scams - and Bugs Errors and Glitches and its sub-forums should be merged with Habbo In General due to the lack of new posts/threads.

Graphics
Up to to Forum Staff on this one

Games
Up to to Forum Staff on this one

Entertainment
Remove Hobbies (see General as to why).
Merge Anime and other Entertainment with TV & Film.

Technology + The Web
Up to to Forum Staff on this one

General
Move Hobbies here and merge with:
a) Animals & Pets - due to a lack of new posts
b) Food & Drink - due to a lack of regular new posts
c) Possibly with Fashion & Clothes

Teens (and older members)
Remove sub forums for Relationships

Your ideas and opinions would be appreciated.

[Alkaz]

I agree with that I think - alot of the forums with several sub-forums I tend not to post threads or posts in because I never know where things go, if its in the right place and just because if I post the interest in it would be minimal and rather pointless posting it.

[Seatherny]

I have seen many people post in the Discuss Anything forum saying "I know this doesn't belong here but I will not get a reply in the right forum". I think thats enough evidence that many forums need to be merged.

[Nixt]

This would be quite a major overhaul of the forum and it's categories but it is certainly something I am currently liking the look of - but it is also something that must first be cleared with senior management, who may or may not agree. I agree that the sheer size of the Forum can be quite ominous and scaling it down would be a definite advantage. When combined with the new skins that are being created, it would create a much cooler, cleaner, slicker look for the Forum. I have created in thread in Forum Management only in order to discuss your suggestions. Further suggestions from other members are also welcomed :).

Forums such as "Hobbies" are currently dead - 64 threads.

So Normal & Categorized Treading, together? Could be a possibility.

Habbo
Bobba - Scams - and Bugs Errors and Glitches and its sub-forums should be merged with Habbo In General due to the lack of new posts/threads.

Maybe.

Graphics

Might be ok for now.

Games
Up to to Forum Staff on this one

A few of them could be changed and merged.

Entertainment
Remove Hobbies (see General as to why).
Merge Anime and other Entertainment with TV & Film.

Technology + The Web
Up to to Forum Staff on this one

I don't think there is a need for anything to be done in Tech section at the moment.

General
Move Hobbies here and merge with:
a) Animals & Pets - due to a lack of new posts
b) Food & Drink - due to a lack of regular new posts
c) Possibly with Fashion & Clothes

I see where you are going with that, could be a good idea.

Teens (and older members)
Remove sub forums for Relationships

Another good one.

Your ideas and opinions would be appreciated.

The bits in red are what I have added in and also posted this in Garions thread elsewhere. You have some pretty good suggestions and would be a big overhaul for the forum. :)

[Neversoft]

Entertainment
Remove Hobbies (see General as to why).
Merge Anime and other Entertainment with TV & Film.

Noooooooo!!!!! 'Anime, TV, Film and Other Entertainment' is too big a category. Just remove hobbies as that is other entertainment anyway.

[Inseriousity.]

'Questions/Comments about Habbox Competitions' merged with 'Ask the Competitions Staff' Most people use the 'ask the competitions staff' subforum instead.

I was gonna suggest that change ^ in the first thread but I forgot to lol. Good ideas :)

[hah]

merge all graphics there is no need for so many, maybe have a subforum for non habbo ones

[scott]

Sure the ask habbox staff were getting merged or what ever ages ago?

[xxMATTGxx]

'Questions/Comments about Habbox Competitions' merged with 'Ask the Competitions Staff' Most people use the 'ask the competitions staff' subforum instead.

Noted. :)

They were but the decision of that has changed.

[Cheryl]

I would agree with this one to indicate ELITES maybe just add [ELITE] in the title

[hah]

I would agree with this one to indicate ELITES maybe just add [ELITE] in the title

i dont see why you would even need to do that :S a graphic is a graphic and surely if its so good it would stay on the first few pages

I like them all except

Official management announcements and information.

the description is the same as announcements, and i dont think it suits it

[GommeInc]

It is :P And the category called "Habbox Forum" (in the suggestion) should remain as Habbox, just noticed the flaw with the bug tracker (it's Habbox-wide).

It's kinda obvious I copied and pasted all of that, and that the description doesn't match the name :P

I suggest having the following forums:

Habbox
Development Announcements can just be a sub-forum of Habbox Announcements.

Disagree with that, development announcements is very useful and is the one I check reguarly, I couldn't care less about the other two. Tbh community noticeboard is redundant and could be merged with habbox announcements.

Help / Questions / Feedback
Unchanged

Merge together ask habbox staff forums, get rid of the subforum clutter in feedback (polls forum is never used) and get rid of HxHD forum (3 threads between beginning of november and now? come on!)

Trading
Merge Categorized Rare Trading and Normal Trading due to the lack of threads.

Move "anything about trading" to habbo or merge with habbo in general, bit of a weird place for it to be now I think about it.

Habbo
Bobba - Scams - and Bugs Errors and Glitches and its sub-forums should be merged with Habbo In General due to the lack of new posts/threads.
Same with cool rooms, new posts are kinda slow. Maybe make it a subforum in habbo in general
Graphics
Up to to Forum Staff on this one

Games

Get rid of forum games, useless forum with post count disabled, just a secondary spam forum.

Entertainment
Remove Hobbies (see General as to why).
Merge Anime and other Entertainment with TV & Film.

Rename anime forum just anime because that's what it is, apart from that leave it.

Technology + The Web

Fine as it is imo
General
Move Hobbies here and merge with:
a) Animals & Pets - due to a lack of new posts

Agreed
Teens (and older members)
Remove sub forums for Relationships
I suggest merging this with general and having it as just another forum, there's no need for it to be its own section
Your ideas and opinions would be appreciated.

Stuffs I said in green :)

[AgnesIO]

Good ideas but KEEP habbox and development announcements seperate.

Was a fantastic change when came in, and means I actually SEE all announcements!

[Mathew]

Merge "Ask the Help Desk Staff" and "[HxHD] Habbox Help Desk".. both serve the same purpose.

Also wouldn't mind seeing an "Ask the Events Staff" sub-forum.. :)

[hah]

why??? no one cares about events

[-:Undertaker:-]

Are any of these going ahead then, everyone seems to be in agreement?

[Hecktix]

I imagine these will go ahead in some of the weekly updates :)

Christmas may get in the way etc, but the majority are good ideas and I can only imagine it's all been discussed in staff forums.

[Meanies]

There's discussions in the management forums as to which would be the best way to go and it's agreed that we think some of the changes suggested should be made :)

Bored so making up an idea:

Some are a bit ambitious and some lack the sub-forums, but the general jist is there. Plus, others can use it as a template to base their mental images of what the forum should be condensed into :)

[Seatherny]

What I love about CHF is the lack of forums. HabboxForum's list seems to go on forever.

[Jamesy]

I don't agree with completely removing Graphics or teens.

[Seatherny]

I don't agree with completely removing Graphics or teens.

I think removing it might be an excellent suggestion :)

[GommeInc]

Teens is the worlds pointless category - the forum is for Teens afterall :P

Graphics is a short, 5 forum category so keeping it seems a little pointless, when 2 forums are Habbo related. The category seems like on of the wasted categories.

[Hecktix]

I don't think graphics should be removed, and teens is a good forum for help, it could be merged with general but it'd make general too big.

Sorry but graphics and teens should stay as they are :)

I wonder why you called the forum 'Competitions/Events' when the Community Notice Board description seems to do the same thing. Events are on Habbo so I see no reason to call the forum 'Competitions/Events' if events are gonna be advertised in the CNB, so I'd leave that as Competitions like it is now.

As for removing the Development Announcements, I know it's not used much but I think it's useful seperating them.

[Molly.22]

why??? no one cares about events

Many questions are asked about events people usually post them in the ask the competitions staff one instead.

I suggest stop trying to cause arguments.

[The Professor]

Teens should go, graphics is marginal imo.

[Jamesy]

Teens should go, graphics is marginal imo.

My main argument for keeping graphics is that its where a lot of new members go. Putting it in a large mish mash of 'General' forums makes it far more daunting.

My lovely self registered by wanting to post in the graphics sections :8

Eww bias. Your bias is not welcome here :8

It could be split up and put in other parts of the forum. Habbo alts can go in the habbo section, 3d graphics and other stuffs could go in tech (idk if there's even a forum for that now lol), elites is kinda pointless so it can go, photography can be a section in general, might make the hobbies section more popular. But I don't think it's as redundant as teens which, as gomme said, is just... redundant :P

[Seatherny]

Keep teens and graphics and separate actually. Teens is a bit dead but meh.

See it not only me!!! :P There are few competitions so i think they should be merged in a Forum like Gomme has said, if not move them to where he has them... i would look at the much more. I love all his ideas, i like the Habbo discussion one the most

Love them all but i think there should be a Graphic section, not as big as it is now tho


Many questions are asked about events people usually post them in the ask the competitions staff one instead.

I suggest stop trying to cause arguments.


I Suggest you go away, im not trying to cause arguments. I don't see you trying to help the forum, do i? No. You're obv gonna say that seeing as you are asst. events manager, you also have an attitude problem

[Immenseman]

I love that idea Ryan, especially the graphics one. With less users it makes sense to downsize the forums, nobody will ever be happy because no matter what forum goes it's going to be some bodies favourite. Changes do need to be made though and using Gomme's as a template and altering where management feel necessary would be a good start in my eyes.

[Inseriousity.]

See it not only me!!! :P There are few competitions so i think they should be merged in a Forum like Gomme has said, if not move them to where he has them... i would look at the much more. I love all his ideas, i like the Habbo discussion one the most


My point was you don't need to name a forum 'Competitions/Events' because Events don't use the forum, they use Habbo. I don't really mind where the forum goes but you can leave events out of it :P

[Jamesy]

Eww bias. Your bias is not welcome here :8

It could be split up and put in other parts of the forum. Habbo alts can go in the habbo section, 3d graphics and other stuffs could go in tech (idk if there's even a forum for that now lol), elites is kinda pointless so it can go, photography can be a section in general, might make the hobbies section more popular. But I don't think it's as redundant as teens which, as gomme said, is just... redundant :P

Not really bias. From my time moderating there its clear thats where new users tend to congregate - before moving down the forum when they become more comfortable in the community - if they stay.

[Seatherny]

Not really bias. From my time moderating there its clear thats where new users tend to congregate - before moving down the forum when they become more comfortable in the community - if they stay.

I have found that they usually start in Habbo forum and then move to General.

[The Professor]

Not really bias. From my time moderating there its clear thats where new users tend to congregate - before moving down the forum when they become more comfortable in the community - if they stay.

I respectfully disagree with that statement :) As saurav said, they usually go to habbo or trading first and then float into the other sections.

[GommeInc]

Not really bias. From my time moderating there its clear thats where new users tend to congregate - before moving down the forum when they become more comfortable in the community - if they stay.
What part of the graphics category? And how do you know they hang around the Graphics category? :P

[Jamesy]

What part of the graphics category? And how do you know they hang around the Graphics category? :P

I think I generalised there more than I meant to. Habbo alterations normally has quite a few new users post in there, I guess it goes hand in hand with the habbo sections.

I don't suppose hang around there so much, it's just I've seen more new users post in there than the lower down forums. Although of course you are entirely entitled to disagree - I'm quite often wrong :P

[GommeInc]

Who's to say Habbo alts getting moved to the Habbo section will stop this? :P Besides, that category has been downsized so many times, it used to be HUGE!

Good news that its being sorted, maybe older forums such as Cool Rooms could make a comeback as its habbo-centred and thats what we need, more habbos on so this forum survives.

Cool Room was never removed was it? Its still there :S Or have I misunderstood your post? - in which case I apologise.

I believe I suggested this idea. (it was in the big discussion thread that got closed.)

Keep Anime as it is. Probably one of the most active sub-sections on the forum.

I would not agree with that.

That sub-forum has only got 2 threads that have been replied to since the 23rd of December

I did something like this before on my forum (see link below).

I had a different section for a bunch of different kinds of creativity, then an 'other' section.
This was very bad for people because they thought that if their interest wasn't specifically listed, it wasn't welcome.
I now have creativity all in one section, which other people think is weird. Originally when I did this I listed a bunch of different forms of creativity- and people again didn't see whatever they do in their free time or wanted to talk about, on my list, and thought they weren't welcome.

Make sure that you make it clear that topics of conversation are welcome, that people can talk about writing, hobbies, or food, and don't have to put it in 'The Hobby Thread' in the general chat section or something, that they're allowed to start up a thread saying "Does anyone know how to crotchet?" "Can you help me with my novel", etc.

You have to be careful with this stuff or else you end up putting off members, but it can be done.

It's not the most active but it is frequently used. There wasn't much posts nearer the end of December because of the Christmas season. There isn't a huge amount of threads in the subforum but most of them do have a considerable amount of replies.

Perhaps merge hobbies and jokes with it as they are other entertainment (although the jokes subforum is quite popular as it is) but I urge you not to abolish it. It's the only place on the forum us fans can talk about anime and manga without getting trolled and into arguments with other users who have nothing better to do.
