What do you think Caused all the Listeners to Drop?

What do you think Caused all the Listeners to Drop?

I Think its the fact listeners bearly get involved anymore its almost like they know that if they enter a comp they'll lose... what do you think? D:

[hah]

the dj's
they are all too young and i only tuned in when they were over the age of 16

[Gina]

I dont think its the djs cos there age dosnt matter there actually all great

[scott]

the dj's
they are all too young and i only tuned in when they were over the age of 16
nope - the party rooms are still having the same amount of listeners as they used to have, there was still the same amount of requests as we had.

I think the decline is users is less visitors to the actual habbox.com site iteself. People not visiting for rare values instead just using the market place, other than news what other reason is there to go on habbox.com? I think some things have to be done more interesting content maybe competitions should be put on there too some features that will want people to come back - if i was new to habbox and went on habbox.com I don't think there would be very much to bring me back atm. :)

[Gina]

tbh i think the listeners need to get involved more

[scott]

tbh i think the listeners need to get involved more

I agree - when i was assistant manager I made a room on Habbo as a chill room for a place that DJs and listeners could go and talk with each other and stuff as I know it is something the listeners would like and they'd feel more involved if they could just go and talk to them - I know the listeners would love that. Anyway I made the room and got told I wasn't allowed to use it by Roxy because that's what the help desk is for, which it clearly isn't but hey!

I agree with this. I made this point in the other thread before it was closed, and i agree that Habbox.com has pretty much nothing apart from news & rare values, which aren't as needed now the marketplace has been introduced.

[hah]

Yeah and i could have sworn jake was getting rid of the graphics section on hx cause of all the competition from better sites
+ i wouldnt wanna tune into an ugly site lol

and the radio on habbox.com doesnt work.... only habboxlive.com works

AND THATS WHY I DONT TUNE IN
BECAUSE THEY ARE YOUNG

[scott]

The radio works fine for me on Habbox.com :P There was issues a week ago about the radio being broke and not many DJs being able to stay connected without it buffering and stuff, idk if it's sorted its self but that didn't help either.

[Gina]

also i think habbox is geting a bit boring, like the news is good but abit boring, djs over play songs and they always play chart

[Catzsy]

also i think habbox is geting a bit boring, like the news is good but abit boring, djs over play songs and they always play chart

So your recommendations for improvement are?

[myke]

also i think habbox is geting a bit boring, like the news is good but abit boring, djs over play songs and they always play chart

how can news be interesting? they're reporting what's going on ... lol O.O

[Keri?!]

also i think habbox is geting a bit boring, like the news is good but abit boring, djs over play songs and they always play chart

Not every single one does, I don't. I personally hate chart music and try to play more rock ;)
Lately I've seen other DJ's play more variety but yeah, chart music dominates the radio obviously.

[myke]

the fact of the matter is, no matter how hard you try - you will never satisfy everyone and it's silly if you try to (not a dig at you keri, just replying to your post cus it was the first i could click). people have different opinions on music, but the fact is that most people like chart music because it's music they hear often. :)

[sammy]

Djs play what listeners request. It's not the djs fault that it's just chart music - that's what the listeners want, djs want to please the listeners so they play their requests.

However i agree that lots of songs are played too much - i don't know how that could be fixed though ;)

[GommeInc]

Radios tend to have moods and go from popular to unpopular all the time. I only ever listened to HabboxLive when it was HabboxRadio, because I liked the discussions the DJs did, and they were about 17-19 ish so they came out with funny stuff. Can't say I've listened to HxL properly though, so this may seem a bit unfair :/

[Gina]

dunno LOL but still habbox is just getting boring now aswell, not just the music and the rare values dont work on normal i.e last time i cheaked

[Keri?!]

Yeah, I know that. I get enough abuse doing the rock chart ;)
But as you said, everyone does has a different taste in music and the majority are chavs (jokingggggg)

[Gina]

lol But still...

i also think the listeners find it boring, ive been tuned into habbox for a year and im getting sorta bored now but i dont wanna tune out

[Keri?!]

Well, what do you suggest habboxlive do to improve this?

[Gina]

well wacha think would get listeners will envolved more first? LOL

[Keri?!]

It's about the listeners opinion and what they want, honestly I don't know myself what would get listeners up.

[Alex3213]

I agree - when i was assistant manager I made a room on Habbo as a chill room for a place that DJs and listeners could go and talk with each other and stuff as I know it is something the listeners would like and they'd feel more involved if they could just go and talk to them - I know the listeners would love that.

Right, I'm quite a bad boy and only read the first page of the thread because I do want to respond to this.

I agree with this 100%. The listeners would like to get involved and talk to the DJs, I'm sorry but how the heck does this have relevence to the Help Desk? I'm going to make this post short and sweet, if the Help Desk is needed for this, there should be no point in a Rare Values Desk because "that's what the Help Desk is for".

[Dinosaurawrr]

i don't feel as happy at hxl as i used to either.
so i can understand where the listeners r coming from
things have changed so yeah.

i agree with this ^^, As Sam said previously all the djs only play the listeners requests, if you want a song played then the dj will happily play it for you, i myself have no idea why the listeners are so low and how we could get them back up, but i agree with gina (rokgal) that there could be ways of getting the listeners involved a bit more just kinda unsure how..

No idea, the only things I could see from bringing the room onto habbo were pros can't think of any cons. It would get Habbox's name out more, a bit of advertising. I brought up the thing about the rare values desk as well and how most of the previous ones have failed but it didn't make any difference lol.

[Gina]

have you tryed like doing stuff for listeners like giving them summing for tuning in often like a few site have listeners of the week/month?

[despect]

have you tryed like doing stuff for listeners like giving them summing for tuning in often like a few site have listeners of the week/month?

i think personally that would be kinda hard to do as they'd have to choose between what 100+ listeners?

[chantellehugs]

About the thing with dj's always playing requests/chart music;
Sometimes if a DJ plays their own style of music the listeners drop anyway. So it's a lose lose situation for people who want variety and stay tuned, and people who want chart music so tune out. And vice versa.

[Josh]

... Get out of the HxHD.

[beth]

i think a listener's forum should be arranged, where listeners and dj's alike can go to a pre-arranged room, and have a discussion & debate over what hxl needs and how they can improve the service.

like garion said earlier, i'm gonna be honest, a lot of forum users do NOT listen to hxl, and henceforth really have no right to complain.

and as i said earlier (in a thread which is basically a carbon copy of this ;/.) was that i as a dj aim to bridge the gap between forum & hxl, because i think it needs doing significantly.

[despect]

... Get out of the HxHD.

hardly on topic lol.

anyway back on topic;

i think in one of the other threads there was a suggestion about maybe bringing a listener on air? personally i feel thats actually a good idea, maybe do it like once a month/week?

[Inseriousity.]

lol we've all been there :p

I'm not a listener tbh so I wouldn't know. However, the times I have listened, I felt that the DJs were speaking too fast which made it really hard for me to understand what they were saying, making me switch off!

[Keri?!]

hardly on topic lol.

anyway back on topic;

there's a great way to do it, if its recorded whilst the songs are on and then play it instead of speaking so you deffo know that there's not going to bed any swearing

[Molly.22]

the dj's
they are all too young and i only tuned in when they were over the age of 16

I think the listeners like the fact there are younger DJs, since most listeners are also young. Which makes them not afraid to apply to become a DJ.

[despect]

That room was a really good idea, shame you couldn't use it.

[beth]

this room sounds a good idea to me, even if habbox won't endorse it, surely one of the dj's can make an unofficial one?!

[Josh]

It was on topic. The listeners drop when DJs party in the HxHD. This comes into, "MORE DJ INVOLVEMENT."

[Nemo]

I think its the DJs. I saw a thread about HxL earlier and so i decided to tune in for the first in like a year. I go on, and for the few like 2 minutes its just some girl with a cough mumbling to herself with the occasional silences and giggles to herself. Honestly? If someone had just tuned in for the first time they would have most likely turned off (i did) and those who were listening probably got bored. I dont know if that happens a lot because i find HxL really boring, playing songs that aren't my cup of tea (lady gaga ¬.¬), but it shouldn't really happen at all if you wanna keep it with a good reputation.

[Gina]

it could be hard but they could try narrow it down to the dj pinions and then do a vote for the listeners and peeps on hxf

---------- Post added 20-06-2010 at 05:17 PM ----------

and also i think listeners like listening to people there age and that aswell as other peeps

[Matthew]

well im certainly tuning in less now that all my fav djs have left, i.e xoim, kieran, aiden...
its not age its just personal preference, those 3 were the best dj's to listen to and now that theyve left, i dont find HxL as interesting as it used to be.
I used to tune in and immediately be dragged in by what they say, but now, 70% of the time its just a 12/13 Y.O who sounds like theyve never djed before in their lives.

[Molly.22]

also i think habbox is geting a bit boring, like the news is good but abit boring, djs over play songs and they always play chart

Most listeners say that DJs only play chart songs, when this is not the case. I know for a fact that all the djs play variety. Plus listeners moan about it when they're the ones requesting the songs.

[Gina]

Some djs that left where helping habbox keep listeners up and i thnik they have lost some -----ing fanstasic djs but there are other djs i love and i think we need to just get peeps tuned into them on a good day where they love them too

[Matthew]

in my opinion, its not the songs that are the problem, its the djs.

after all, big radio stations play chart songs 90% of the time, and theyre still popular arent they?

[Gina]

yeh but most are like over played

[Matthew]

yeh but most are like over played
yeh. i thought there was a rule that a dj couldnt play a song that the last dj played, and yet i keep hearing repeats..

what time was it?

[Matthew]

Gonna quote me coz no one saw my reply. Damn you next page.
i saw it, and it made me realise how good HxL used to be compared to now

[Gina]

habboxlive is getting abit dull now tbh, not it a bad way but yh, it was fine wen it was sammeth.'s helpdesk we had loads of djs and everyone was jolly and cheeerful and and and most djs now arnt jolly or happy at all its like "oh its morning ima dj all tired and all sorts" in a grumpy voice (not all the djs)

[Nemo]

what time was it?
2ish i think? I remember the dj being called Lizzie or Li something

[lTraditional]

I like it but now there is a Marketplace, it's like 'What is the point in Habbox?' because for the news you can go onto Habbo.com but i really don't think it is because they users are young.

[Gina]

oh lizzie said she was tired she was up doing a skype call with me last night LOL

---------- Post added 20-06-2010 at 05:40 PM ----------

12 is quite late lol

[Nemo]

oh lizzie said she was tired she was up doing a skype call with me last night LOLThats the problem, if something like that happens, then don't go on air. simply. I wouldn't wanna hear a person mumble to themself and cough tyvm. It just ruins the reputation somewhat.

[Gina]

but also habbox is like really boring... its not all the djs fault that the listeners went down

[Nemo]

but also habbox is like really boring... its not all the djs fault that the listeners went down
Well people will tune into the HxL if the DJs are good. The only part this is fun about Hx is the forum and radio. The forum seems to be fine afaik, but there is a problem if the radio is going down, and yes it will be the DJs. There isno way around that.

[Gina]

but i think the djs could do better but there are other reasons, like the market place >:( i have that thing, stealing out rare value popualtion or whatever LOL and also the news if found on habbo.com as well

[Nemo]

Yeh obviously those are going to hurt the people visiting Hx, but Hx and the radio can be considered seperate, simply because if the radio is good, then people will go back to it. Much like a game, if its good, you'll play it again.

[Gina]

when people get into habbox they can easily get addicted like i am but then wen they get addicted we need to keep them there

[Nemo]

Yes, which leads us to the quality of the DJs, which is exactly the point im making. Dear god.

[Matthew]

so i think weve finally agreed that 80% of the djs just arent good enough..

[scott]

Well if he is going to say that more than half the DJs are crap then he can keep his opinions to himself :S He would certainly not like it if there was a thread about rare values reporters and i came in and say 'oh dont worry half them are **** anyway' :rolleyes:

He's not saying that they're crap, that was poor wording on my part. He's just saying they're not to the standard they should be(which isnt always "crap"). And if you did, then he'd have to accept it. People have different opinions on views on things, and since you're providing a service to these people, you have to hear their opinions and take it on board, whether you agree or not

totally agree with this, it was unnecessary. you may aswell have said everyone was awful. it's not constructive at all, as the rest of posts are.
and i'm gonna be honest, i doubt highly you've listened to every single DJ anyway to know 80% are ****.

[-paul.]

Tbh habbo isnt as popular as it use to be. and its having an effect plus the merge hasnt helped at all.

[dogboy123]

I think tbh the site needs to be nicer and just generally less blocky, if you get me. Something nice and more habboey and just more spacious would be nice, like this as a background..

erm? that is the background lol :S

[Nicola]

I genuinely think a lot of people have just grown out of it, both listeners and older DJs. But I'm sure a new set of people will come in and the listeners will be back where they were.

Whoever said that 80% of the DJs aren't good enough - I totally disagree. Maybe there's some DJs that just need a few improvements and aren't as experienced as others but they certainly aren't not good enough to be on HabboxLive. If they were rubbish I'm sure they would not have been chosen to have a trial.

[Gina]

i totally agree ben an

[dogboy123]

So it is (A). I just think it needs to flow better atm its like really sectioned and stuff just looks slotted in wherever theres space

edit: are we talking about the site habbox or hxl, cause i think alot of people tune in from habbox

[Special]

i think the reason i stopped listening was the type of music they play

i only like dance/bassline etc & sometimes it wasn't even chart is was like rock and stuff

i think to keep listeners, the dj's need to pay a wide range and not just what they like

oh and please don't argue with me, it's my opinion and what i thought

[Matthew]

'we' being...? The DJs are good, some of they may need a bit more experience but of course they will gain that and the only way is by them DJing.

Your comment is quite rude:S How dare you say 80% of the DJs aren't good enough.
let me change my wording slightly.
i would say i only now enjoy listening to 20-30% of the dj's shows, so surely that means that in my opinion the other 70-80% just arent very enjoyable.
i think i put 'we' because i was referring to myself, lNaughtynemo and Gina, because i thought that we'd agreed that some of the dj's werent up to quite up to scratch.
i guess i mixed my opinion with theirs.
i didnt mean for the comment to be rude or abusive at all.

[Aidenn]

There is alot of rules that do make it hard for DJ's to do their job, they have limitations, And these are very easy to break

[Matthew]

totally agree with this, it was unnecessary. you may aswell have said everyone was awful. it's not constructive at all, as the rest of posts are.
and i'm gonna be honest, i doubt highly you've listened to every single DJ anyway to know 80% are ****.

oh and i didnt call every single dj '****', far from it. 'Not good enough' does not have to mean crap, not good enough can be as close as just a little below par or it can be 100% away from it.
I didnt mean 100% away from it, i meant that improvement should be made to keep the listeners hooked, as i used to be.

[xxMATTGxx]

when people get into habbox they can easily get addicted like i am but then wen they get addicted we need to keep them there

I agree with this comment, Habbox needs more interactive features which is something V6 is all about. Although I know we keep going on about this so called V6, it's not a made up story but something that needs a lot of work on and should be with us over the next few months.

I seen that you mentioned that Rvr didn't work in Internet Explorer, that is the case in one of the versions I believe. You just need to update it to Internet Explorer 8. Sorry if that has been answered for you already!


so i think weve finally agreed that 80% of the djs just arent good enough..

No I don't think that is the case. HabboxLive have some great DJ's at the moment, not everyone is perfect but they learn the experiences while working here. There is a number of reasons why the listeners have dropped, not just one but a number of them. Hopefully this can be tackled and see a bigger interest and listener boost soon. I don't want to write loads and loads to rant on as many people have done this already.

All the disconnections on it, I posted a topic about the disconnection and MattGarner actually told me that there were a lot more disconnections on the radio lately...
Most DJs can't even stay on for 10 mins without a disconnection.

EDIT: Yeah, some DJs are like...

"Blahblahblah requests Justin Bieber... Errrr, I don't really like him, so I'm not gonna play that..."

Like srsly, ta hellll?

i think habbox need to step up there game abit or they will lose listeners

[triston220]

Because I'm no longer an events organiser, so they left. :)

Edited by Nicola (Forum Super Moderator): Please do not post pointlessly

habbox have lost some brilliant staff and i think everyone knows that but as i said earlier everyone can cope as there are sitll brillent djs, whatever age they may be

[Matthew]

oh definately, age isnt a problem in my eyes. as long as the show is enjoyable, people will tune in, whether the dj is 13,14,15,16 or w/e.

[,Jess,]

With regards to people talking about show quality it is something that obviously isn't perfect but over the next week or so we will be providing individual DJs with a lot of feedback on their shows so hopefully those things that annoy people will be reduced. We have a lot of really good DJs and I believe that all of them have the ability to produce some great quality shows. Also as the summer comes I expect the listeners to rise because there will be a lot more events for people to get involved and maybe we can add in some things like listener of the week or do another most dedicated listener competition like was done when Adzeh was manager because I think that worked well.

[AgnesIO]

nope - the party rooms are still having the same amount of listeners as they used to have, there was still the same amount of requests as we had.

I think the decline is users is less visitors to the actual habbox.com site iteself. People not visiting for rare values instead just using the market place, other than news what other reason is there to go on habbox.com? I think some things have to be done more interesting content maybe competitions should be put on there too some features that will want people to come back - if i was new to habbox and went on habbox.com I don't think there would be very much to bring me back atm. :)

The party rooms? That's because you can it hardly anyone in rooms on habbo?

And people still visit Habbox.com for content.. 895 users online now, was 1400 the other day. So erm?


So your recommendations for improvement are?

I would of thought that were obvious.


'we' being...? The DJs are good, some of they may need a bit more experience but of course they will gain that and the only way is by them DJing.

Your comment is quite rude:S How dare you say 80% of the DJs aren't good enough.

Why the **** are inexperienced DJs allowed to DJ on the largest habbo fansite (well one of?) You don't see the BBC bringing it some random person who has never DJ'd in their life, with no charisma what so ever to DJ?

Well if he is going to say that more than half the DJs are crap then he can keep his opinions to himself :S He would certainly not like it if there was a thread about rare values reporters and i came in and say 'oh dont worry half them are **** anyway' :rolleyes:

And you wouldn't have a clue how RVR's do anyway, sadly when you are in such a public department, which everyone looks at you have to be up to scratch.


Because I'm no longer an events organiser, so they left. :)

Not funny.

I think a first step would be for some of HxL, to admit things need changing, and that nobody wants to hear unfunny 10 year olds saying stuff like ''guess wut, i wuz at schuul todayz and i gots a detention! *shouts* *giggles* - ma mam wu lyke 'BAD BOY'. it wuz sooo funnyy HAHAHAHA *giggles*''

Nobody wants to hear that.

In no way am I saying all DJ's are like that, but sadly some are.

I agree jess cos like ive been tuned into habbox for a year (im addicted) but then i bearly ever get noticed for it, mainly sacha and michael (xoim) noticed me

[Matthew]

With regards to people talking about show quality it is something that obviously isn't perfect but over the next week or so we will be providing individual DJs with a lot of feedback on their shows so hopefully those things that annoy people will be reduced. We have a lot of really good DJs and I believe that all of them have the ability to produce some great quality shows. Also as the summer comes I expect the listeners to rise because there will be a lot more events for people to get involved and maybe we can add in some things like listener of the week or do another most dedicated listener competition like was done when Adzeh was manager because I think that worked well.
definately. all of the djs are obviously able to put in a good show, so I amongst others will be looking forward to some fantastic shows; like there used to be in virtually every slot.
I always used to love habboxlive, sometimes i would come onto my computer specifically for it, but just lately as ive been saying (whichhas taken some criticism :P) is that shows lately havent been as good as they used to be, and this is why the radio has perhaps been losing listeners. I still tune in from time to time, i personally like the chart shows, and the chatathons always go down well with me as well.
for me personally ive been enjoying habboxlive less and less lately, and so i tend to put GalaxyFM on instead of habbox; so as has been said, when we get people hooked, (as many including me were), we need to keep them hooked!

I agree with this, although as i said if the 10 year old dj is a good dj, then theres no problem at all. Its all about (here i go again) whether or not the show is enjoyable to people. yes i know that what i find enjoyable, someone else might not, (and visa-versa), but i personally know a lot of people who, like me, have stopped listening to habboxlive lately because of the decreasing level of (yup, here it is again) enjoyment that they get out of the show.
and yes, i dared say it although looking back on it i could have worded it better, as i said.

Thanks for the post (not being sarcastic).

Perhaps give users on the forum to PM their thoughts on DJ's - after all listeners feedback is surely very important. Obviously don't tell DJ's stuff if people are just being rude about them, but constructive feedback could be useful?

---

Another problem in my eyes, is whether it is just for me or not, on habbox.com the radio does not play automatically. So why not have the flash player on hx.com too? Some users will go n nd just not bother to turn it on - always used to be the case with me, when it played automatically

Yeah, only thing is, we don't get millions of listeners at a time, and are no where near the BBC, I doubt the BBC use Sam Broadcasting, too...
Habbox is not set out to be like the BBC, its set out to be a Habbo Fansite, the radio isn't even a must-have for Fansites, it's a total bonus you even have it.

[scott]

The party rooms? That's because you can it hardly anyone in rooms on habbo?

And people still visit Habbox.com for content.. 895 users online now, was 1400 the other day. So erm?

That clearly is wrong, I highly doubt 895 users and 1400 users mute the radio? :S

I think you fail to forget Rare Values are what made habbox so popular, I was using it as an example since that is what his job is. :S

I think that those stats on Habbox are incorrect, unless you want to believe at 3am in the morning there are sometimes more people on Habbox.com than on Habbo itself.

I would of thought that were obvious.

He did not call them crap, the inexperienced DJs we hire are the ones who are naturally very good. On apps people who sound natural and not like they are a clone of every other fansite DJ are the ones that stand out. Like you say inexperienced can be good, those are exactly the ones we hire.

We don't admit everything is perfect but you clearly do not tune in because the DJs do not go on like that that is the sort of example people give of what they class as a typical habbo DJ just like when people make comments like "All the DJs are 12 and have high pitched squeeky voices" - I do not mind critisism in general about the department as long as it is not given from someone who clearly doesn't care and doesn't listen and is something constructive that can be worked on.

I think although,. those stats are probablywrong, if people are like me, the radio does not play automatically on hx.com, so it is more of a case of 'unmuting it'.

I know habbox is not multi million pound company, but the idea of staff ranks is still the same. You generally don't hire people who have never DJ'd before for any amounts of people more than 5 listeners?

And the fact is, Rare Values is a poor example to use, since no on apart from higher management and those in the department know's how well they are doing


Replies in bold red

Sorry about the stats comment then - I have never been on habbox at 3am lol :P I also think it would be a bit inaccurate to say those who sound different, may be inexperienced might be good, however inexperienced in most cases = not good. That is a general 'key' in life.. I should also point out every job on habbox I have ever applied for, apart from moderation (obviously) I have ALWAYS been given a trial, so being able to write out a decent application does not always mean you are a good staff member.

Jess I know for a fact some DJ's do try and be funny with how cool they are with their mates. And I also hate to tell you, I, like many others, used to be very regular listeners and we stopped due to quality falling.

On a plus note I have tuned in just now and 'DJ Abc' seems very competent, he is doing a good job.

Just replying to the ". Like you say inexperienced can be good, those are exactly the ones we hire."

Well quite obviously not if the number of listeners are going down. Its time you accepted that quite obviously not all DJs are upto standard and started focusing on what/who you need to change. reminds me of the england team this does

oh and the radio autoplays for me

Wouldn't it be a better idea o get DJ's who already have experience and know the basics of DJing (such as not ruining songs).

i agree... i dont know how inexperience can be considered 'good'
yes some inexperienced DJs turn out to be good, but surely thats more due to the fact that they had natural talent, rather than the fact that they were 'inexperienced' :S

[Muct]

I only tune in for all the funny & buzzing Djs..
I don't tune into all the emos with the Justin Bieber voices (-cough-Matty-cough Jokes, I tune in especially for you, Bieber Boy)

Yeh, I only tune in to DJs like...

Aidy, Matt, ABC... They're like the only ones that can stay on without getting disconnected, and they make me actually laugh... :/

yh habboxlive has some really dull djs and seem like they dont want to dj and theyre tired and cant be assed to do anything and its abit boring

That is exactly the reason I started tuning out of habbox.Its quite annoying when they have an instrumental for when they talk aswell. I have to turn up my sound and like concentrate to hear them, which i dont want to. And then turn it down when they play music. And a lot of DJs seem to do that.

a loud instrumental and quiet mic might i add.

Sadly with him, I don't think 'oh I realised my mic was on mute' then talk more, then just cut the song off all together, is important lol

And then at the start of this song he was like 'ooh yeah' 'habboxlive.com' 'ohh'

[Gina]

i love the songs djs play but then wen i try enjoy it they talk over it and its like stop f------ talking over the song

Just the other hour one DJ was advertising Kazopark all the way through the songs!

[Moh]

Most the listeners are only on the site because it's on Habbox.com.

The main site needs a make over (Which so I'v heard, is on the way). Hxl also isn't the most prettiest site either.

I think more needs to be done on the actual main site, since you can advertise "habbox.com" but you can't advertise "habboxlive.com".

Well I just heard some pingo music so I'm happy. :D


I think some of the points here are valid, but I do feel as if some of it is a little over critical. I think the vast majority of the Hxl team do an excellent job of delivering music/humour to us. Nobody can be 100% perfect, and I certainly don't find too many serious problems with the HxL team at all. Perhaps a few slight reminders to some DJ's that they need backing tracks, or a set of solid rules which need to be followed, but with a huge department like HxL where the staffing team changes so often, I can understand how hard it would be to get everyone up to that high standard that everyone expects. Big kudos to the team from me anyway, The Dj's always sound happy and as if they are having a good time, which reflects off onto the listeners also. We have to remember a vast majority of the target audience are Habbo players, and those who are doing the pogo mogo in rooms and generally I think quite a lot of the audience range are young. It would be nice to perhaps do a poll or something to guage what the average Habbox listener is like. I'm 19, but I still find it to be a very good radio, with some very talented DJ's.

by now ive missed half the song ;l

The other day, one of the DJs were playing Edward Maya - Stereo Love...
I got so pissed off I sent in a request of; "Get off air pls x"
Like seriously, she was talking through ALL of ti, I requested it, and then she talks ALL the way through the song, and it actually finishes before she stops talking, I then request her to play it again, she's like...

'I just played that... so -Pause for 30 seconds through another song- Yeah......"
:/ She was talking for like 4 mins.

Seriously getting annoyed by Dynamix now.

During Kings of Leon he ruined the intro, then put 'habboxlive.com' randomly in the middle, then talked in the outro (so he ruined the two most important parts to a song)

i was just using him as an example because, a) hes on air now, and b) i dont tune in much anymore
im not saying that dynamix is the worst, or that hes the only one, but he (obviously) would be the freshest memory of a bad performance because he was djing at the time.

and dont get me wrong, he dj'd a lot better than i would.

there is no need to target him like that

Sadly he was DJing him at the time, and he is also sadly a prime example

i agree, you shouldnt target individuals like that ;l

[DJDynamix]

OK well i'm very sorry if i ruined the song. but by having a guy say 1 word during a song really upsets you? then what really is the limit? I don't think i have done anything wrong today and don't respect anybody who is going to be so picky.

And that is why you are not going to do well. You nee to realise the mistakes.

You said WAY more than one word in EVERY song.

That was the problem, not one word lol

[beth]

i agree that the backing thing is annoying & talking over tracks will be addressed by jess no doubt, but i don't think dynamix should be attacked like the way he has just been. he was struggling with listeners due to a technical fault, and i feel his energy level despite having a low number of listeners & a lack-lustre dj party was good!

he's ONLY a trialist DJ, i don't think some people are giving people the chances they deserve.
people have to learn.

[flatface]

targetting individuals is harsh ;l

[Matthew]

i agree, you shouldnt target individuals like that ;l
Im not trying to target him at all, obviously as I don't tune in much anymore, it would be fair for me to comment on other djs about the subject of 'bad performances' because recently, nothing else springs to mind. Unfortunately he just happened to be the dj I was tuned into at the time, and so he is obviously the one that I'm going to use as an example..

I realise how hard djing might be, and as I said I could do no better, but (yet again) I didn't enjoy his show at all.

Seriously getting annoyed by Dynamix now.

During Kings of Leon he ruined the intro, then put 'habboxlive.com' randomly in the middle, then talked in the outro (so he ruined the two most important parts to a song)

What a joke.

Seriously? One word. Fair enough if it was pointless crap he was saying but they still need to advertise habboxlive.com in their shows.

It actually sounds like people are trying to pick out small things just so they have a meaning to moan and complain.

[xxMATTGxx]

I don't want to stop people from giving feedback regarding HabboxLive. But please could you not target individuals in this thread. If you have an issue with one of the DJ's on what they have done in one of their shows, then use the correct channels. If it carries on then this thread will probably close.

[Matthew]

i agree that the backing thing is annoying & talking over tracks will be addressed by jess no doubt, but i don't think dynamix should be attacked like the way he has just been. he was struggling with listeners due to a technical fault, and i feel his energy level despite having a low number of listeners & a lack-lustre dj party was good!

he's ONLY a trialist DJ, i don't think some people are giving people the chances they deserve.
people have to learn.
Sorry for double post if it is, I'm on an iPod touch quoting as an edit is hard :l

and I didn't know he was a trialist, as I said the habbox staff list won't work for me...
For a trialist it wasn't bad at all, and obviously if he learns from his mistakes I'm sure he'll turn out to be a good dj.

I'll say it again, I wasn't trying to single dynamix out at all, and knowing now that he is a trialist changes my view on his performance somewhat

[DJDynamix]

And that is why you are not going to do well. You nee to realise the mistakes.

You said WAY more than one word in EVERY song.

That was the problem, not one word lol

Dude you cannot say i'm not going to do well. I have never had a single complaint before and this is my 6th year of DJing. I have come to habbox to entertain people as i have done in the past. If you dont like me, thats your problem not mine because i get hundreds of people compliment me and only a few picky people like you who try and put us down. Give us all a break because just moaning wont get you anywhere in life.

[ChickenFaces]

I don't understand why people are targeting certain age groups for DJs.

Sure, there has been a serious influx of younger DJs, and some people may think that they are inexperienced because of that.

In some cases, it's quite the opposite. There are plenty of younger DJs at the ages of thirteen and twelve that are very well experienced, and they are very good at what they do. When I started DJing, I pretty much had no idea what I was doing. I'll admit it. I was a noob. But I'd like to think now that I've gotten much better in my DJing.

You can't just expect people that are 17-19 to be DJs. The general age group for people on habbo are 11-16 years old. Which is the general age of the DJs at HabboxLive. And you can't expect people to be perfect all the time. People make mistakes, albeit there has been a lot more than usual, but you really have to consider that there are a lot of new people coming to HxL. It just takes a little while for people to improve.

Yes I'll admit there's problems, and we're trying to solve them. But attacking certain DJs gets us nowhere.

[Phil]

Also with this things of talking over songs. It doesn't even happen so much in the middle of the songs. Normally just the outro's so, it's not like they decide to have a chat in the middle of the lyrics. And this backing track thing people are complaining about. I actually looked at the comments and laughed. If they don't have a backing track it just sounds boring and it's pretty rare that the the soundtrack is louder than the mic.

Age isn't a problem for me, if they're good enough to dj, then let them dj in my opinion.
All the djs at habbox are obviously here for a reason, and that is that they're good at what they do. Some djs just need the odd thing tweaking here are there, and then well be back to where we were in the past.

dynamixs voice was clear over the backing, and all of the songs he chose to use had no lyrics, so they were fine
what I found particularly annoying was the talking through the start and end, and sometimes middle, of the real songs that were put on to listen to. As I said though I'm sure dynamix will take this all on board and his next show will be better than ever :)

Im sure Age is not a problem, Listeners need to get more involved. :P

Experience is but a word to learn from your mistakes.

I don;t mind DJs talking through songs as long as it's not over 10 secs or summet and is important.

[Grig]

The age varies quite a bit, I'm 18 and I DJ for HxL, Jess is 19 now if I remember, so it doesn't fully include younger folks. I'm sure if you count around you'll find a few more older faces. I do agree talking over a song is a big no no and your computer won't explode if you hold it off until after. I think DJs at HabboxLive are at a much younger age than in the past, but hey they have to start somewhere. I remember PigPerson was like 11 or 12 when he joined and he became one of our best. It proves there are a few great voices at a younger age. I'm on the fence on what CH do and simply impose an age limit of not younger than 13. But that would mean the one or two who may be good, like the case study above be prevented from DJing.

---------- Post added 21-06-2010 at 01:42 PM ----------

To add, the audience has changed by quite a bit since I first came. Back in 2007, we had msotly 15/16 year olds tunning in. Now it's down to an average of 13 I'd say.

13 year olds often still enjoy hearing the whole song though lol

I don't mind DJs doing stuff like this, but only if they are willing to learn and adjust to what people want.

The fact some DJs are just basically saying 'na I dont care hat you think' is a bit of a piss take considering this is feedback lol

lol thing is bud u cant post anything about hxl without the department flipping out, they are correct as far as their concerned & they don't like criticism they think your just attacking them or something lolol


OT: Presenters speaking over songs, the age range of the presenters has dropped, Singing on air & even when pre-recorded it loses listeners & the merge has effected hxl badly too.


@ppl sayin its the music
ya jokers the music hasn't change at all since habboxlive opened, if anything they have more of a variety & new tracks.

[Nixt]

That's one of the requirements from the kazopark sponsorship that it HAS to be mentioned once every hour loll

The Sponsorship requires us to mentioned Kazopark, yes, but it does not require to DJs to speak over songs and do it. Just slip it in.


Well from some of the posts in this thread it isn't just feedback about HxL I would say it was more like personal attacks on a few DJs from some of the posts lol

Exactly. Personally attacking DJs will not help improve HabboxLive - when members are rude about DJs and their ability then it is only going to have a negative impact on HxL, rather than improving the quality of DJs which is the apparent aim.

DJs are not allowed to talk over songs unless it is important and is well placed so as to not interrupt the flow of music. If you find that a DJ is repeatedly talking over songs in a manner that is detrimental to the quality of HabboxLive's shows then you should either post in the Complaints about Habbox Staff (http://www.habboxforum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1331)forum or (preferably) PM the HabboxLive Management - ,Jess, (http://www.habboxforum.com/member.php?u=34899) and Gems,x (http://www.habboxforum.com/member.php?u=58722). They will then PM the DJ in question providing constructive feedback from which they will hopefully improve. They are not going to improve if you guys are insulting everything they do!

I know Jess and Gemma are going to introduce a new system of Feedback involving the Senior DJs. By extending Feedback to Senior DJs who can report back to them both, they are maximising exposure of those in a position to listen to and provide feedback to the DJs. It is all very well and good for you guys to come here and say "all the DJs are crap!" but it is very difficult to make any kind of improvement if you are not then providing constructive feedback to those in the relevant position so we can work to improve HxL overall!

For those who are saying Habbox.com itself may be a problem I would agree and disagree. I quite agree that Habbox.com itself is in need of change and as we have said this is up and coming in the near future. We aim to modernise Habbox and make it unique and individual so as to attract more users and, with any luck, this will help improve HabboxLive listener rates also. Nevertheless I do not think we should ignore the issues HabboxLive might be having and put all the blame on a decline in visitors to Habbox.com, as this is simply not the case. We have looked into it and visitors to Habbox remain quite high and indeed, after the merge, there were indications that it has increased considerably. I think it would be naive and ignorant to say it's all down to a lack of visitors.

Similarly for those of you who have said (or may be thinking) that Habbox's rare values are no longer of any use, you are quite wrong. This is why (http://www.habboxforum.com/showthread.php?t=644016&p=6467293#post6467293). Rare Values remain one of the most important and most used features Habbox.com offers.

[Richie]

Once every hour would get very repetitive but if that's what the contract says then w/e but I'm sure they will definitely slip it in lolololol

[Gina]

Most Habbox djs do really good like clips so they can get a trial but if they pass it, after that they just cba with it

[Neversoft]

Personally I blame global warming.

I think one of the biggest issues is that things aren't really consistent, some of the DJs just seem to use their slot as their own personal time instead of as one big HxL joint effort.

One DJ will play, talk about search so-and-so for the party, people all hang out there. Next DJ comes on, they say to search someone else to hang out, mention their one friend running a competition, etc.

I think if there was just one big HxL hangout room that the DJs all hung out in and directed traffic to, it would be ideal.

That's just my opinion on the matter.

[Kyle]

1. young djs
2. djs that dont know how to dj
3. djs that just play music

That's just my opinion on the matter.One part of interacting with the listeners is using their room I guess, if they stay in one spot people will either end up getting bored of it or say 'i'm leaving Habbox because you're not using my room!'. But I suppose a HabboxLive Hub sort of thing would be good, where DJs hang out and a party space etc and have meet the DJs and other events there.

[Kyle]

if i tuned in to habbox I would certainly not go to some noobs room to dance

The problem is the vibe it sometimes gives off. It doesn't feel like "Hey come join the HxL party", it usually just 'feels' like "Hey come populate my room while I DJ!".

When the party is in like Danube's trade room and he's running a comp, it's all good, but when a DJ says to search their friend for the party and they have a gigantic room with like 20 pieces of random furni, it just looks bad.

[Keri?!]

I like the idea of having a certain place to party
there was dinasaw's room but that wasn't allowed :rolleyes:

But yeah, why wasn't Scotty's room allowed?

lol Habbo parties are a joke and sad, used to be alright when there was banter- but now rooms are often speechless. But you need to be present on Habbo to get listeners in.

You can't do nothing about that, but oh well.

Also, I suggested this before but get the DJs to create more of a discussion, they just go 'Oh my mic is working now, -reads requests-, next song is blabla' It's really boring.

For the last time, we didn't just attack him because it was him, it was because he was on air, and he did everything we had mentioned BEFORE his slot - we weren't purposely aiming to target him, he was just unlucky to be on air..

Although it is a very kind offer, I don't think it's what hx really needs - although it would help a lot

It's not about the competitions. I think there are some nice ideas for them, it's about the on air content and presentation, which sometimes can be good, yet sometimes very poor. I'm sure though if DJs are given some analytical feedback it will let them improve further :).

I am quite confident all the DJs are ready and willing to improve. With the new feedback system that has been introduced, as I mentioned in my long post before, hopefully we will see an improvement in the performance of DJs.

I must stress though that there is no point expecting us to reach the standard of Radio 1 or Heart FM. I think some people have too high expectations of a Habbo Radio staffed by Habbo Users!

i suppose people have come to expect a lot from habbox because, as far as im concerned, habbox has always had a fantastic radio in the past, and it attracted hundreds and hundreds of listeners per day. now that we have the opportunity to suggest that djing has got worse (in some cases), its natural to pick it out because we have come to expect habbox to be excellent. im sure itll all be back to normal soon though :)

Obviously we understand there are some issues but what I am saying is that you can't possibly expect it to be to the standard as some professional radio stations, and I think a lot of people are drawing comparisons from what they listen to in real life and HabboxLive - which is simply not fair.

Yeah, I totally agree with you there...
People should NOT compare HxL with BBC Radio, I mean, BBC have thousands of pounds worth of broadcasting equipment, in no way should SAM-Broadcaster be compared to that...
Ever heard the saying of don't compare yourself to a celebrity to be perfect?
Don't compare a Habbox radio to BBC to be perfect then. :)

Maybe people are comparing habbox to professional radios such as radio 1 but common speaking over songs can be easily stopped, if djs who work for fansites can't keep their mouth shut during a song simply get a muzzle, thats my main problem, if they want to speak they can flick on a backing and tell their 'fans' what room to go to.

Obviously we understand there are some issues but what I am saying is that you can't possibly expect it to be to the standard as some professional radio stations, and I think a lot of people are drawing comparisons from what they listen to in real life and HabboxLive - which is simply not fair.

oh yeah, definately; what i was trying to say was that we have come to expect more from habbox than we are currently getting.
Of course it would be unfair to compare it to Galaxy or something, but the fact that some people do could suggests that some people have enjoyed it so much in the past that they are prepared to compare it now, i.e they think that habbox has been nearly as good as the pro stations in the past, me being one of them. I always used to pick habbox over the pro radios, but now im not (its probably because the radios in my area have improved aswell)
with the odd thing tweaking here and there, i certainly will tune in as i used to, and im sure lots of others will aswell. :)

But if u dont get to that standard (not saying you have to be top notch, but atleast offer something that they dont that isnt PARTIES IN HABBO YEH
), then what stops people listening to other, more proffesional radio stations?

[Nixt]

People listen to Habbo Radios because they like the fun, Habbo based atmosphere they provide. 11 / 12 / 13 year olds and often older people prefer listening to HxL, CH etc because they offer that. Obviously we aim to provide a high standard of radio to our listeners and the new Feedback system is aimed at minimising the issues, such as the speaking over songs (which happens to be pretty much the only issue people are coming up with), so we do begin to provide a higher standard.

The problem here though Garion is one DJ has already said he has no intention of changing :rolleyes:

And the comparison I made between the BBC and HxL is that they are both literally the biggest radio in their 'target markets', so getting DJs who have never DJ'd before is the same stupid idea lol

I don't care if they are 12, 13, 14 or 16, i just tune in to have some fun listenining to songs and entering competitions and i mainly tune in to DJ's who are enthusiastic and joke alot and just provide entertainment onto Habbox Live which is what Habbox has provided so welldone DJ's. I also like to quote myself because before there was a marketplace, Habbox used to be very popular for the Rare Values and now there is a marketplace to see what the average price is, people cba to come onto Habbox while they only came on for the Values and that has changed alot.

We need him back;

http://www.supload.com/listen?s=deCgLUWoo, Teron was amazing, one of the best DJs on HxL. :D I did suggest that they brought something like this back but they said listeners would get bored.. it was actually good. Perhaps they can do it and Grig does it considering hes one of the most professional, and oldest DJs and also the asst. news manager

That made me laugh - Im just as bad but with songs like raining men thus +rep.

I dont think it was the DJ's, all of them are unique, admittedly you have your favourite dj's but if they was on for hours on end you'd get bored of them, and i do think that the variety in dj's shows is improving.

Heres the situation:
All chart music - People get bored
ALL Variety - People get bored
Just right - Some people get bored, other are happy

based on the above situation it makes it hard for dj's to keep their shows unique, especially when dj's focus on the listerners, and if they drop dramatically their gonna feel like **** basically, and blame it on themselves.

The rest don't bother.

ahaha if you like variety, my return show is tonight at 10 ;)
only problem is (as someone said before) when you play variety, i found before that yr listeners drop significantly.

Personnally i do hear alot of variety these days weather its just the people i tune into i dont know but i normally try and listen to everyone, and i'd say the Majority have got it, theres only a hand ful that dont

Grig has just started a new weekly show which is basically a news show as it is very time consuming the do the news updates and it is really good. Think it is sunday at 3pm.

Keri does a great job in playing variety but other DJs manage to as well, it is really hard in primetime I know I have started with a pre-made queue of songs to play that include old ones and different genres but then once you start going through requests and adding them in it is very difficult to maintain that mix. I think that chart music is always going to be the most played on HabboxLive just because it is what people hear most of and that is impossible to avoid however with the feedback given to DJs in the next week or so hopefully the variety in songs that are played is going to be monitored so that hopefully things can improve.

If you tune in at off peak times you will probably notice more variety because there are less listeners and requests so the DJ won't feel that they have to play all chart music and often the mix is better and much more enjoyable.

I stopped listening when whoever this DJ is stopped playing stuff

And I guess it is hard to play variety with requests and that, but maybe you should try and get a system where it shows the last songs played during the last two shows and the DJ has to search to see if it was played and if so they can't play it or something?

[Aidenn]

Again problem with this is if you dont play requests, people have a scranny and **** off, we're supposed to keep them interested but when people complain that there bored of a ******* song, they need to listen its much easier listening to someone dj rather then djing yourself

as for the thing regarding last 2 hours, its not do-able i dont think, the SC Admin goes back an hour thats about it.

[Abciscool]

yeah my shout-out got read out so they get a 10 from me x]
but no seriously, i love the double dj shows, its so much more interesting to listen to, and theyre playing a good variety of songs which is also always good. well done to them!


DJ Abc & DJ Jassie seem to be doing a fine job with 104 listeners at the moment! :D


Feelz loved inside :]]

The shoutcast thingy here (http://69.4.233.79:9014/played.html) goes back the last 20 songs, I can manually edit it to show more/less and I did change it from 10 to 20 because then DJs can usually check back on the last show. I know a few do check and maybe some aren't aware so if that was encouraged more we could tell DJs to avoid playing any song twice and I know a few don't play the same artist as a last DJ played. I know it is really annoying when a DJ plays a song near the end of their show and then on the next show a DJ plays the same song near the start.

When I tune into Habbox I dont care about the age but mainly about how much effort they put into the show and how much of a varity of music they play...
its quite horrible for wen you tune in your hear a dj coughing and sneezing and then arnt putting anything into the show

[Gina]

Well if you PM ,Jess, and Gems,x regarding incidents like you say im sure it will be dealt with accordingly (Jess has us on a leed)

Thats supposed to be in experience but DJ's do get better as they go along, for example i was crap when i started, in my opinion i still am compared to most, but confidnece will grow and so will experience leading to 'Pro DJing'

[Calvin]

what do you think ?*hint* perhaps you could let him know on MSN *hint*

[Matthew]

with regards to variety, i enjoyed abc and jess's show because of that variety. yes they played chart songs, but they also played some songs which i havent heard in years, and i was really interested to hear them again, making me stay tuned in (not that i was going to turn off)
From paris to berlin (8)

[Gina]

have the djs got summing where do do like a massive skypee call or summing and just comment on the djs and all that?

Personally when I came to HxL i was terrible in my opinion but I've been here for just over 2 weeks and I have to say my self im more confident in what I say/play and do. but obviously i'm not the judge of how I DJ etc.


and. hey hey hey, respect the "Her's" too :/... Jk haha i do actually request some classics tho :l

Msn is the next cource of action

talking to 3 is hard xD think.. 50 :D all shouting etc

[Richie]

wow this thread should be re-named cos all the djs keep posting 'you haven't heard my shows yet' or are just explaining what they 'do' trying to get credit or something, jess ur djs want ur tender love nd care bahahaa :P

err and who cares if the djs play chart music, if they played trance tunes during the day im sure most of the ppl who listen to chart ***** would tune out, hxl are just doing what any other radio would do and supply the genre that the majority like ie. pop

again my only problem is the talking over songs (which id imagine is being sorted) nd to get a few older djs - dno how ya can solve tht but yh
