New Idea For The Radio Team!

[smiffy70]

Erm you kno how when you do the trials for habbox you take the clip and look at the details, blah blah blah and then choose who you want. well i applied for hffm a while back and i think you should do the same system, they accept a bunch of new trialist then put them on a diff radio to the habbox site where only the manager and ass-managers can listen and then they judge by their performing talents and not just one 60 second clip on its own

just a thought lol, tell me what you think

[immense]

i think it's a good idea but they'd need a 4th manager to help

[Calvin]

HabboxLive Trialists have talent. :P

Anyway, I think it's a good idea, let the DJs do a like 30 minute show and the managers send shoutouts etc. :)

[Richie]

No the system atm is the best way to do trials and jake I'd say 5managers would make it easier, ahhh sure lets just make all the djs management!

Edit: Careful you don't break your shift button

Okay maybe I was a little bit harsh, you remind me of chris crocker graham!

haha

nd OT: Hffm accept djs after 10 - 15mins habboxlive accept djs after 2weeks, which is definitely more professional

[Nixt]

Trials in every department last two weeks. This gives us an informed view of how the individual performs. I don't see any real problem with this.

[flatface]

i like this, so instead of a 60sec attachment on your app, you do your own 1 hour show on a private radio. good idea!

[smiffy70]

thanks for the replies but Garion, what i mean is they look at the apps see if you HAVE potential and not just judge you on the clip then you are given a 15 minuete show on a diff radio and they judge you more on that coz to be honest making dj's of a 60 second clip cnt be tht good.....

[Angel-Light]

It is a good idea that has been tried out in the past (back when I was management) and then never tried again. The reason being? Time.

It can take a long time to read all applications and then listen to the 60 second clip (50 applications = 2 minutes roughly per application). Now if this were to be replaced by allowing the applicant to have 15 minutes of air time then the number taken to do each application is heavily multiplied. Another reason it does not really work is the fact that applicants may not suit the time that has been allocated to them (learned this from HxHD also).

It is a good idea if it is only small amount of applications and not the large amount that the Radio always seems to get :)

thats wt i mean only choose like the top 15 of 16 and then put them on 5 or 10 min trials

[immense]

and jake I'd say 5managers would make it easier, ahhh sure lets just make all the djs management!

lmao i was speaking to that gems,x on habbo and she was like "i don't even agree with the changes" lmao love it

[smiffy70]

lol any more feed back?

[Aidenn]

Sorry but i dont agree with this only reason being is, its alright having Under 10 Listerners on the test server, your going to be much more relaxed - which is great don't get me wrong, and you will be happy just djing for like 10 people.

But when your chucked on the Real SHOUTcast server its going to be VERY Different, you will have more requests, shoutouts as well as a higher listerner amount,

In my opinion its better if we chuck trialists in the deep end (might sound harsh but its my opinion) where they will have the nerves for their first couple of shows, and then they will get comfortable with the amount of people listening, Which allows them to Improve.

I don't know if you lot will agree on this statement but i think ALL Trialists improve throughout the trial, and progress as time goes on.

Thats my Opinion on this subject, but i can see where you are coming from Smiffy, +rep.

Thanks,
Aidy xox

Habtips did this when i was management - the amount of times trialists went on it and just abused it for practise was unbelieveable you would need to change the pass every day

[Grig]

It's a tricky one because sometimes you can't fully judge someone on a 60 second clip. In my past experiences when I was listening to radio applications I always wanted to hear more and it was harder to judge. This may also be the reason why not all trialists may be such successful choices (although the bulk were).

But, I wouldn't of ever pushed for this because as Hayley said it's all too time constraining for the manager to even listen for a few minutes with the sheer amount of applicants.

[-Nick]

yh you do know that the radio cost between 200-1f 000 £ so they could be looking at the highest of £2000 inless poeple are willing to pay like £10 a day to make this £2000 also not just hffm do it habboextreme do it but you use it a couple of times a week not worth it lol

[ChickenFaces]

It's a good idea I think. Sometimes you can't see the quality of a persons DJing until they're on air and at times it really helps a lot. I like this idea. :)

Thing is a radio costs a great amount of money and a private station would be a bit, I'm not sure. Pricey.

It has its pros and cons.

[Becca]

I think we should still do the 60 second clip but it's a nice idea. I don't think Jess would have time for things like that. But if they don't know how to work Sam nicely, then they shouldn't apply until they know how to work it simply. It may take a while but yeah, it's good later on. +rep for the good idea anyway.

[smiffy70]

right i see your all looking at the porice and stuff but i have been searching and found quite alot of free shout cast, im nt saying they have an audience aswell its just for the managment to listen and if they cnt take the pressure well.... u kno lol

btw if its the free radio u need its, http://www.listen2myradio.com/ i think lol, ty for the rep aswell :P

[Molly.22]

I like it but as aiden said it's not going to be the same for when you dj on Habbox. There will much more people to handle and you would find it much easier on this private website. It will also cost money to do this which is a bit of a waste. If you think you should do that instead of the 60 second clip that would be a lot of people trying out. It would be very time consuming for management and they have a lot to handle already. :P

That site doesn't look that professional to me and I wouldn't trust it myself.

[smiffy70]

i kno it dont sound proffesional but its a radio and thts really all u wud need and like i sadi in an earlier post norrow it down to 10 - 15 applicantds and space the trials over a week or two

[Aidenn]

Ive used 'Listen2myradio' in the past and found the service horrid :P

[gangstaagent1]

I like this idea. Although, this would only work for a smaller website. With the amount of trialists HabboxLive gets the management would be listening to these servers everyone minute of their day. They are already busy enough managing the biggest UK fansite, I don't think they have the time. If it was a smaller website I would push this further. But for the size of HabboxLive it's not worth it.

[Volumise]

i think this is a good idea so they don't just judge on the 60second clip -.-"

[scott]

I've rest most posts in here so here is my bit (and that's final!!!)

It is a good idea in theory - sure it would be great to hear every applicant for 10 minutes but it just isn't possible. It takes us long enough to go through 50-70 emails downloading clips listening to them and then deciding. We don't have all the time in the world to fit 10/20 minute trials on another server, we would have to fit it around you and fit it around ourself as well. It would take for ever to go through the normal 50-70 people. You said just pick the top 15/16, that's just adding even more work for us, contacting them waiting for a reply with a time suitable for them etc. Someone else also said you would be very nervous in that time of a short trial, over the 2 weeks we hear LOTS of improvements in the trialists DJing so i think it is quite fine how it is :)

[Recursion]

I like this idea, although has management have said, it would take a massive amount of time up which most people probably don't have, and as others have said, chucking people into the deep end always seems to be the best thing to do, they then improve and manage to stand back up again.

In terms of radio server, they could probably quite happily run a 10 listener SHOUTcast server on one of the Habbox servers, it's a simple Linux executable, I have one sitting on my VPS at the moment, uses barely any bandwidth and only uses like 5mb of RAM.

[leer34$]

I think the system at the moment is fine.
I mean, it's simple, doesn't affect other Dj's..
But Good Idea Mate. :P
