My opinion on Hxl Since 2006

[Glopy]

I have been a listener of habboxlive, since around 2006, and my honest opinion is that Habbox has really became worse as time moves on. And the proof is in the pudding as your listeners have become really week, hitting around 100 at best, Back in 2006 - 2008 You where getting around 200 - 300 listeners on a average show , I think on one show you got around 800 listeners, Your lacking the quality's you had back then, and the standards. You try to appeal to so many people which makes you so week in so many ways. if you just focus on the main priority's then your strong points will once again shine through, Habbox is missing that homey feel that is used to have, now it just seems (very much like habbo) your in it for the money, ... habbox doesn't need a sponsor. in fact it was doing much better without it.
you also have dropped major standards in your Dj's, your Djs where among the best, H0BJ0B aka Danny if half of you rember him was amazing. now half of the kids trying to Dj have a scheduled bed time.

and from the complaint's i here from your staff in the help desk, your trust and respect for each-over is lacking dearly,

So please habbox take a look at your crumbling empire and get some cement before the underdogs push
you over .

sincerely callum

This has been posted many times in the past couple of weeks.

I do agree, . with the listeners, but we have been trying to fix this issue, We have been doing giveaways , to get internationals to join. But we can't guarantee that they will stay, its hard.
The lacking of Djing is actually improving, from the last time this was posted.
The DJ's having scheduled bedtime? ; I don't understand what you mean by that, but we can only accept the DJs who apply, and if you look on habbo, you don't see many people out of school and playing habbo, and wanting to DJ.

For the HxHD, ? I don't understand what you mean by that, from what I see from the staff, they trust each other? its a habbo room, how can you not trust each other?.

[Richie]

1) Standards - Have became worse
2) Listeners - Its not only due to the fansite itself, since the merge things have been looking down

Will the standards of djing get better in the future? Possibly, however for now I think the habboxlive is going to stay as it is, its not like they can fire the djs that 'don't meet their standards'.

[Tintinnabulate]

Habbox does need a sponsor for financial support and who the hell cares if it says "sponsored by kazopark" at the top of the forum and if djs mention it once every hour or something =s people are ao damn picky. I rareky notice the sponsored by thing at the top. But yeah, Habbox is not the same as in 2006. Some managers love themselves too much and think that they are God. It's their attitude which pushes members away. Before there used to be throne comps and used to be heavily advertises, now .... none. I used to enter hxl comps in 2006 for awesome prizes, now its just stuff like mocha.

[nvrspk4]

Hey,

I agree with you that HxL has lost some of its popularity, and perhaps some of the points such as quality, homey feeling are a big part of it. But there are a couple of points where I think you're a little off base.

First of all, I think part of the reason for all this change was Habbo itself. Habbo began pushing out Habbo Fansites, doing less events, and the big blow was removing VIP. Trust me, that was a MAJOR hit to revenue and we were lucky to be able to salvage donator, basically we got differing accounts from staff members, presented our case and they allowed us "aesthetic privileges". Then they backed an attempt to run out Habbo radios by this licensing agency which honestly was overasserting its reach, but that's a long story.

Now the merge and the real lack of fansite interaction is hurting Habbox again, but I'm confident the management team is working to bring Habbox back on track after the merge which must have brought about a huge number of changes.

As far as it being about the money, and not needing a sponsor, not to be rude but I can completely assure you that you're wrong on that one. You're obviously not trying to lie to us, but as I mentioned VIP earlier, the sponsorship was a huge boon to Habbox. Massive massive massive massive credit to the management team for doing what had to be done even as Habbo tried to put us on the ropes - and doing what no other fansite had been able to do to this point. Remember that Habbox was the one offered a sponsorship, which shows there's real quality to the site.


But that aside, I think you have very valid point on HabboxLive's listeners. I'd just suggest sticking to the point about how the quality and listeners could be improved in light of the changing Habbo circumstances.


EDIT: Damnit I'm doing it again. I'm not General Management, am not a representative of general management, am not a representative of Habbox official policy etc. etc. I apologize for speaking like one, old habits die hard.

[Glopy]

Thank you for all your feedback and views so far :) and have come to terms with the need of sponsorship. and yes i do blame habbo and its capitalist ways forcing all the sub sites and fan sites to have to deal with there greed,

Oh and not like im great with American politics seeing as im brittish and only 16, but your not too keen on change for a barrack obama supporter ;D

But still there letting in all these week Djs who havent got the quality's need for a good official site like habbox, which they should not. a year ago DJ standerds where great due to they where all mature and experienced and above the age of 16

[Nixt]

Oh nvrspk4, you're going to put me out of a job.

Lets start by saying that we do recognise that HabboxLive has been having it's problems and we do recognise things need to be done to improve. What you do have to understand that this is not something that can happen over night but it is something we can and are working towards.

This is where I must point out your first mistake, the sponsorship done nothing to "make HabboxLive worse", in fact since the sponsorship we have seen an increase in listeners. I can't say that can be directly attributed to the sponsorship but it most certainly negates your theory it is making HabboxLive worse.

This also suggests that we are improving, and I do think that is the case. We have seen a big increase in listeners and Management are adopting further methods of improving the department so we appeal to listeners a lot more. This includes an increase in events and competitions, appropriately distributing donations to members of staff so they can hold competitions and gain listeners and things like that.

Of course gaining listeners is not the be all and all, but I do think nvrspk4 hit the nail on the head above where he send that Habbo distancing itself from fansites has affected us - it's affected every fansite. Habbox.com itself has become less popular on the hotel itself and this itself negatively impacts on HxL. We have been working to change this and promote ourselves a lot more, we had a lot of giveaways and events and the two weeks of HxSS will serve the same purpose, which is great! Every fansite is struggling, listeners across all the popular radios - HxL, HFFM, CH etc have all dropped. We're not alone in this.

So gaining listeners is important but we also recognise the importance of increasing the quality of our shows. We regularly receive feedback which suggests that there are some DJs that aren't meeting the standard. In order to combat this we've got a relatively new, and I think effective, feedback system in place designed to feedback on the show in detail and hopefully ensure the DJs improve. Jess and Gemma work extremely hard to set these PMs up, they are very detailed and very effective.

Erm, sorry if this is incoherent or disjointed. I'm not well (still :@) and therefore am not thinking straight!

You've certainly got the concept right :P I'm open to change, but there's good change and bad change. IMO what Habbo did is bad change, forced its fansites out (though it might make good business sense, they have to worry about its effects on the community too as that's a less tangible but still important factor.) And I support change to HabboxLive as I'm sure the management team does, if it will make the radio better. Removing sponsorship definitely wouldn't do that :P

i dont think i did say it was making it worse at all, i was just saying that you was doing better without. i also noted that i have come to terms with the need of sponsorship for the site :) x

[Nixt]

Yeah that's cool, what I was saying is that we weren't doing better without - things have actually improved (in terms of listener numbers) since. Whilst I don't think that is directly attributed to the sponsorship, it does prove that we weren't doing better without and we've actually improved since, not got worse.

[Grig]

I've DJed on HxL since the start if '07 and I've witnessed this change. Nvrspk4 quite rightly pointed out that it has become harder to attract a larger clientèle around Habbo. It wasn't like in the olden days where party rooms were filled up easily as a flick of your wrist and listener interaction on Habbo was top notch. There was a greater (although there are still a few now) who didn't tune in simply to win a rare or two, although the on show competitions were of pretty high standards by the DJs back then. As for DJ quality, I agree we probably won't be getting people like Ready-T or H0bj0b everyday, it isn't the worst and I'm sure Jess constantly thrives to improve it by feedback etc. Don't think you naturally get amazing DJs apply all the time because you don't, so it's working with what you have and giving people an opportunity.

Although, yes the average listener age had fallen by a couple of years in the recent past. It's a combination of the struggle of fansites nowadays and also the change in the actual Habbo base that is making it harder to everyone, not only us at Habbox.

[Glopy]

Jess used to be marlibrite right? she was good to :)

[Grig]

Yeh she was Marliebrit, that old girl.

[Tintinnabulate]

Also does Jess even DJ :S According to HotelUsers script, she hasn't in the last 24 hours and isn't booked for the next 24 hours either. Actually she isn't booked for any day this week.

what was that quote about....

and i know :( i miss her, bethie is the new jess though ;D

[Dean]

I remember when Habbox Live was HabboxRadio lols but yeah the listeners have gotten worse idk why and if anyone says the merge then whatever, since when does the merge lose all the old listeners that used to listen?

[flatface]

She may be booked as away or just having a break or something? Not sure :P

[Grig]

She does her chart show on Tuesday at 6 if I'm correct if that's still on.

[Tintinnabulate]

Tuesday 6PM No DJ
As manager, I thought she should DJ quite a bit to set an example.

[Nixt]

I've seen and heard Jess DJ on a number of occasions. She is also a member of management so you have to understand she is incredibly busy attempting to improve the department on the basis of the feedback, and this does mean it's difficult to spend a lot of time DJing!

I understand, but 5 hours week should be minimum as she is Manager and staff might listen to her to get tips and learn etc.

[Glopy]

Good point fella, she should tbh habbox should praise there talented Djs like rhino and bethie and make them seniors, this will also cause them to be more active due to the demand

[Nixt]

I think that's unreasonable, I can't say would you would expect Oli to exceed the amount of Moderator logs his Moderators get, or Alex and Mike to write more competitions than their staff, or Grig and Martin writing more reports than their team...

She does DJ, and she does it a fair amount. I've also seen her willingly cover on a number of occasions. If you guys want the department to improve, you cannot expect it's manager to spend a considerable chunk of her time DJing which requires absolute concentration and would remove the ability to fully conduct her other roles as a Manager. She does DJ, and she DJs often enough I think to show a decent presence. She also holds and runs numerous competitions on the Hotel. Managers do provide their staff with their knowledge and expertise, but they don't do this by doing the work for them. Jess does this in the form of extremely constructive feedback PMs (so there's the praise you were looking for, Glopy! And they get reports monthly, too) that are not easily constructed in a matter of minutes. Managing the department is taxing and Jess does it well, it is unfair to demand any more from her when I feel she already DJs a reasonable amount of time as it is.

Also, she's having internet problems at the moment and is therefore on reduced activity. Hence no recent DJ activity.

If she is doing it regularly then that's fine. I was under the impression it was just her Tuesdays chart show, that's why I commented. She must be a good DJ to get to managerial position, hence I suggested her DJing more might increase listeners as people have been moaning about the quality.

She does DJ a fair amount when she gets the chance and she is a good DJ, however she is attempting to channel her knowledge and ability through to her staff in the form of feedback on their shows. We need to be focusing on raising the overall quality of the department and all it's DJs rather than relying on the best.

As has been said we can't hope to get applications from 100 of the best DJs Habbo has to offer, as a result we have to work hard to improve the DJs we have and this is best done by having Management work with them, rather than on their behalf. The best DJs have to start somewhere, and honing DJ ability is a priority here.

[xxMATTGxx]

I remember when Habbox Live was HabboxRadio lols but yeah the listeners have gotten worse idk why and if anyone says the merge then whatever, since when does the merge lose all the old listeners that used to listen?

How does a merge do it? Well not everyone liked when Habbo UK merged with the other hotels. Let's face it, Habbo has changed dramatically over the years and not everyone is going to stay. People come and go on Habbo, like they do on HabboxForum. So obvious there would be listener drops here and there regarding the merge and whatever else Habbo did.

Although, I'm not blaming Habbo or the merge fully because I know that isn't the case at all. I agree that HabboxLive isn't what it used to be for many of the reasons that people have expressed in this thread. Yeah we may have had 200 listeners on an average show but times have changed on so when you see the listeners in the high 80s/90s or even getting into the 100s-150s then that is still excellent. Looking at this graph and I'm guessing it's correct, we still have majority more listeners most of the time compared to other radios, I'm not saying it's like that all the time because I know it isn't.

HabboxLive Management is doing what they can to improve the DJing and it does seem to be working. Maybe a month or go you wouldn't of seen the listeners go past a certain mark and people were mentioning that in the staff forums and the feedback but now, it passes that X amount and we get really good high amount of listeners at certain times. Which really, is a good news right?

There is still need of improvement in the department and we all recognize that. Which we will try hard and work these little problems out. I’m sure we would all love to hire the best of the best in regards of DJ's but that is somewhat impossible in ways.

@nvrspk4 I love your posts, so don't stop.

Note: Thanks for posting the feedback thread. Always handy to have feedback and what not.

Note 2: Sorry for any mistakes in the post, woken up not that long ago!

[sammy]

I think another one of the reasons Jess isn't DJing is because her internet is broken, she can't DJ past a certain time (about midday I think), but she has been doing quite a lot recently.

Some of the DJ quality has perhaps gone down, but I still don't think it's as bad as you make out. We have some really good DJs and I wouldn't say that we have any bad ones as such. We have a feedback system where me & the other seniors comment on DJs shows, then Jess & Gemma send PMs highlighting what's good and what's bad about the shows. Since then show quality has gone up I think. Like people say, we can only hire who applies, and I think we do have a set of good DJs overall.

The other day I was DJing at about 10/11am, I found a party room and it filled (50 people) in the case of about 5 minutes. Everyone in the room was tuned in and there was about 70-80 listeners, meaning the majority actually went to the party room. I was astounded to be honest and I think that kind of proves that HabboxLive is still popular & still attracts a lot of people who do get involved by going to the party, etc.

I do agree that Habbo has had a really negative effect to HxL and Habbox as a whole really. People also aren't using rare values as much now because of the marketplace, so I think that has an effect too.

hehe bad example, sorry :P

I don't think the advertising of Kazopark is damaging the radio, in fact, I haven't even heard it on the radio. If I was Kimber, I'd be like 'oi wheres my advertisement' :P (although you did agree in the end). As for the dropping listeners, that's true but if they were still going downhill then I think there'd be a problem but they have been going up. Just a fortnight ago, they were on 60/70/80 at peaktime when I tuned in but now they tend to be on 100.

[Dinosaurawrr]

Okay i'm going to be harsh and say I didn't read most the thread (but hey management right these massive paragraphs and ive just woken up I can't concentrate that much! pfft Garion,Nvr & Matt)

Habboxlive has a big issue at the moment were most of Habboxlive don't care sorrryy to put it bluntly.
Your right we don't have the big family feel we used to have, when I first started it was like a family and now habboxlive has groups and people being horrible and alltogether Habboxlive management don't see any of it because there blind and something does need to be done.

I have the biggest respect for Mattg and Garion as I know they will deffinatly try there hardest to fix it there trying already, asking for ideas checking things out etc. The biggest problem is that no-one cares they genrally don't, trying to get a cover is a nightmare and at the moment im finding it hard to DJ which means I have to refuse cover myself which I never do but my internets going down for sometimes two hours at a time and I can't get it back up.

Habboxlive is faling but only Mattg and Garion can fix this no-one cares enough to otherwise or those who do care can't help.

Sorry if this don't make sence but i've only just woken up and lol sorry for long post *contradicts maself*

Well thats the best feedback iv had all day, thanks for backing me ;D!

[Hecktix]

I think HabboxLive just needs to be innovative and reach out to people. When myself and Nicki did our show on Tuesday we got 139 listeners which as far as I'm aware is very high in the current climate.

HabboxLive needs variety rather than just hour after hour of the same DJs playing the same kind of songs talking about the same kind of things.

I had three discussion topics in my show and each recieved a vast amount of shoutouts.

DJs saying that people request the same kind of music also talk rubbish, all our songs were requests and we ranged from Justin Beiber, Paramore and the Beatles. But yknow...

On top of that everything else said by Gen Management is right.

The problem is with the habbo userbase, a lot of them won't submit their time if they aren't getting anything out of it.

[chantellehugs]

I don't think the fall in listeners is down to the quality of DJing if I'm honest. Like someone mentioned before, a few years back Habboxlive was hitting 300 listeners each show. It seems to me that maybe the listeners who used to listen and make up the 300 have moved on? Maybe they've quit Habbo, gone to university or whatnot. And the reason we aren't getting 300 listeners at the moment is because Habbo isn't exactly helping out the fansites. They don't broadcast them on Habbo so the people who play Habbo now don't hear about Habbox and think 'Oh that sounds good, I'll check it out'. I remember when Lost_Witness came on the radio, and we got about 600 listeners, this was before the merge, when Habbo was supporting fansites and letting them have their own news articles and such. And even before he came on the radio we had about 200 listeners anyway.

I mean if I wanted to listen to the UK Top 40 I would go to the official page, right?

Yours and Nicki's show was great the other day Oli, you created a discussion and even told people to post justin bieber is rubbish on the forums (legend) and had a laugh.

[Tintinnabulate]

Another reason for Habbox itself being less popular is its staff. 8Freak8 was popular on the client and so were sierk, JackHb, Seacat etc. When they walked in a room, everyone was like ":o", now I doubt that ever happens with current FMs, AGMs and GMs in different rooms. It is a Habbo fansite and if your managers aren't recognised on the client, no one will listen to you and thus no one will care and thus no one will come on here. People used to register here because of DJ-3000, Anitar, JackHB, sierk etc.

To become popular again, staff need to own popular rooms - amazing games rooms which is popular a lot like takeshis etc. Give trusted normal staff rights and try and ensure the room is popular. Then when people see that room owner - so a HxHD management, they will be like :o OMGZZZ.

Also, its hard, but try and do big competitions on HxL and advertise it a week beforehand all over habbo and habbox and other fansites. Just put it on your signature on CHF and start posting, simples. Its what happened before for Throne competitions, it was advertised a week before everywhere.

I think HabboxLive just needs to be innovative and reach out to people. When myself and Nicki did our show on Tuesday we got 139 listeners which as far as I'm aware is very high in the current climate.

HabboxLive needs variety rather than just hour after hour of the same DJs playing the same kind of songs talking about the same kind of things.

I had three discussion topics in my show and each recieved a vast amount of shoutouts.

DJs saying that people request the same kind of music also talk rubbish, all our songs were requests and we ranged from Justin Beiber, Paramore and the Beatles. But yknow...

On top of that everything else said by Gen Management is right.

The problem is with the habbo userbase, a lot of them won't submit their time if they aren't getting anything out of it.

The reason why you got so many listeners was because of two reasons:

You are the FM and because it was advertised on the Forum quite a lot. A lot of forum users who rarely tune in would have tuned in to hear you and Nicola. I rarely listen to HxL now but when Richie DJ'd for the first time, I tuned it, and would have done the same for AlexOC but he got fired.

And these days theres nothing to look forward to. its just another DJ show. i know events are limited due to lack in prizes, BUT H0BJOBS shows where free, everyone wanted to listen to danny because he gave us a Zing in the habbo world. Habbox had its only little Unique Djs who each had there own quality's, so all you people saying its not a big deal with the DJS tbh it is, i Listend to Jess and Danny ALL THE TIME because i loved there shows, the modern day habbox Dj is just a daul 18 year old female/male playing the same songs over and over again. ANOTHER THING I MISS wass the call in shows. over skype. but DJs arnt Bothered enough to put out to things like that.

[Grig]

Oh call in shows should start becoming part of HxL as there is now a new skype account for this purpose. Sure Jess will announce it somewhere.

no need for all this discussion

hxl used to be good. it's now crap. like liverpool. only senior management at liverpool realised they needed a new manager to improve

is that a hint at all?

[AgnesIO]

It did make me laugh when you said about the kids and bedtimes - +rep for making me laugh.

I do agree that some dj's do lack in quality, but at the same time I think the age usergroup on habbo has dropped massively so the quality will drop too. I know people won't admit it, but people who are 10-13 are going to be much more boring to listen to than someone older - but then again SOME young people can be good.

I think a major problem is HxL (I know they always have been) applications are very writing based - perhaps it would be better if they were made to be you record a 15 minute show of yourself (with no mpre than 5 minutes song). Although I guess the problem there would be time. Perhaps if all senior djs listened to some to, then a public shortlist could be made?? With no names of who it is obviously.

Just a thought - although it probably wouldn't work!

[Glopy]

I think before a Dj is even trialed, they must have experiences from a offical or well known site, such as habbohut, hffm. clubhabbo.

[Nixt]

Yes but then you are severely limiting the amount of people available to hire - if we were to only take people with experience from big fansites, you are basically making it very difficult if not impossible in some circumstances to hire anyone at all.

[sammy]

I think before a Dj is even trialed, they must have experiences from a offical or well known site, such as habbohut, hffm. clubhabbo.

Don't agree at all. Lots of good DJs didn't have any experience before HabboxLive, neither did I. DJing comes naturally to some unexperienced people so making that rule would be ridiculous in my opinion :P.

[Glopy]

i said ecleast a good site, hiring someone from a rubbish site just proves habbox is going down hill, listing to the trailist yesterday was hard to sit threw.

[Nixt]

If you have a problem with any member of staff and their ability to carry out their role please contact their department manager and / or myself who will deal with it appropriately. Hiring people with experience from *good sites* means that we severely limit the amount of people who apply and who we can hire, essentially reducing the overall quality of HabboxLive as a number of excellent DJs join HxL with absolutely no experience at all. Whilst experience is desirable, if we were to ignore high quality applications simply because they had no experience, we would be doing little but inhibiting HxL rather than improving it.

[Glopy]

its the way the world works garion. you dont get a big money fat cat buying the cheapest of the cheap to impress. if you wanna be big spend big,

[Nixt]

This isn't the world, this is Habbo. Unfortunately the amount of DJs with experience from major sites who are excellent DJs of a quality beyond anything we could hope for are in rather short supply. We do try to give our listeners the best we can, but our staff are volunteers who give up their own time for no form of payment and therefore professional DJs are, as I say, in short supply. What we need to do is find those with potential and train them up to become the best possible DJs - limiting HabboxLive to those with all this experience you are suggesting results in 0 applications and ultimately, very few DJs. It simply wouldn't work.

Of course when you say hire DJs with experience from sites such as HFFM and CH, I could just refer to listener numbers:

HxL - 69 (oh my! ;))
CH - 30
HFFM - 29

So in fact, one could say that it makes very little sense to bring DJs in solely from fansites that are in fact, not succeeding as well as our own?

At the end of the day, we will choose the DJs we think are best for the job. We will endeavour to ensure they reach a high standard and if they don't, they will be removed.

Habbo's changed for the worst.

[CreditCardDebt]

All Habbo Fansites have died since 2006, in my opionion. Look at HabboHut for example...

[Special]

i remember h0bj0b was a great dj, and if i rmember correctly the only reason i used to tune in

the only decent & recognisable dj left is ,jess, if she still does it

you need more long term dj's that people will automatically assosiate with habbox. that alone will bring in more listeners

it's all well & good taking on 13 year old but at the same time you need quality, and atm the younger dj's simply arn't offering it

[Dinosaurawrr]

I try my best to DJ as much as I can and I try to be as proffessional as I possibly can.. for a habbo DJ.
Agreed alot of the DJ's aren't as good as they used to be, but it's not us who can change it it's Jess & Gemma.
Jess does DJ not much though I have to say and there is still a few DJs who are recognised in the Habboxlive community, Matt is rather recognisable as he last month did nearly 100 hours on the Radio making him well known.

Obviously the DJs will never be as proffessional as DJs on radios such as Radio 1 but that's because they have been trained we are simply DJs who come on a laptop and DJ from what we hear and what we know, regardless of wether we can get good sounding DJs is another matter, I personally feel Jess and Gemma just hire the best out of the apps and then hire them weather or not they have been listenend to because they are.. sad to say it but desprate.

If this is the case then maybe senior DJs should have a larger role in Habboxlive to train the not so good DJs into being as proffessional as possible, kind of like a DJ school but again we can't be very proffessional its a habbo radio with a young target audience and occassionally the older listeners who tune in.

Hireing DJs from only popular fansites isn't possible as wether they seem good or not there not as good as Habboxlive therefore technically not good, if that makes sence, also if we really need the DJs then it's not possible to reject everyone because we need them however again they could be trained up a bit more to maybe make them better DJs than they are.

YOU ARE SO RIGHT, no one knows half the DJs on habbox these days to think.. OH THERE SHOWS ON TONIGHT, IM GOING TO TUNE IN, because none of them shine threw, there the same old mainstream music playing boring Djs, i know habbox cant help that, but that is its main flaw, H0BJ0B AKA dj knowalot Djed a few days ago at 2pm :) i tuned in, DJ jess AKA Marlibrite is still around known as jess, and knuxibf aka Mikey. was also a Legend Dj who we dont hear from anymore, theses DJs will always be remembered for the unique quality's and the great shows they had to offer,

Moden day 13 yearold hannah montainer loving mainstream boredom creating Children , will not

the Only Dj whos not listed above who shows these past quality's is DJ bethie, why she is not senior Dj i do not no.

[Blob]

Yeah I do agree that fansites have died over the years and that there aren't any unique DJs around really. Need to get thinking!

I do partially agree with you here, although virtually every dj who gets a trial at habbox has "experience" at djing at other fansites - normally that get 5 listeners a day maximum, so I don't agree that habbox shouldn't hire djs as good as our own. Why don't we have a few senior djs listening to other official fansites, and if there are some really good djs - why not offer them a job? Most dj's would jump at the chance to get to a bigger fansite. At least then we know that they can actually dj, instead of basing it mainly on writing skills - I know for a fact I could pass virtually every department here - as without trying to be big headed, I am (when I need to be) very good at writing.

Anyway, been writing this on my phone - so god knows what I have actually ended up writing!

That's just it though, we woulden't like it if other fansites decided to scout around Habboxlive stealing our DJs and we wouldent like doing the same back, Personally I think that it's a silly idea having DJ apps trial for two weeks on main radio.
There maybe should be three stages; application, Trial on test radio for a bit and then the two week trial on Habboxlive this could possibly cut down on those just getting lucky.

[Glopy]

There should also be a theory test, so they know how to use there equipment

[Inseriousity.]

It's an online job, not a driving test. Let's not get carried away. Experience comes over time and someone can only get experience if they're given a chance. I'm sure Jess doesn't pick DJs based on a fancy DJ name but whether they have the potential. It's possible that you liked these DJs better in 2006 not because they're older but because you were younger at the time; the same way people say Habbo isn't as good as it used to be.

[Glopy]

The Djs in 2006 where much better, that's not debatable.

[Inseriousity.]

It's not fact, it's opinion so yes it is debatable. I'm not saying you're wrong because I wouldn't know but I'm suggesting another possible reason.

[Dinosaurawrr]

I have to say that, that is a unfair comment.
DJs on Habboxlive have changed and wether or not you belive that DJs were better in 2006 does not mean that the other listeners of Habboxlive feel the same, Alot of DJs are unique in there own way and regardless of weather or not you believe the only good DJs were here in 2006 doesn't mean everyone will agree.
It's your opinion but does not neccisarily mean that it is everyones opinion.
Listener amount does not capture the hard work and potential of all DJs here at Habboxlive it's people moving on from habbo, going to diffrent games or even getting a life outside of the internet world.
Yes DJs and management do play a role in how much the radio has decreased listener wise however its not just us it's habbo itself.

LOL i couldn't agree more.

Glopy you really need to get off your high horse and stop complaining that DJs "were better in 2006". We're not in 2006, we're in 2010. People have changed, DJ quality has changed (for better or worse), Habbo has changed. HabboxLive can only hire whoever applies, obviously not everyone is going to be extremely professional. We're all teenagers, we're not fully trained real-life DJs. We DJ to entertain you, I find it pretty rude when people shove that all in our faces by saying "oh ur all crap, djs were better in 2006!!!1" and all this rubbish. As Inseriousity said, you have gotten older since then, so perhaps you interpret shows in a different way.

We have an amazing feedback system and this is improving DJ quality overall, without a doubt (it certainly helped me!). I think people try to come up with any possible excuse they can to complain about HabboxLive, we're trying our best but no one can wave a magic wand and miraculously improve everyone's DJ quality. It's improving, slowly but surely (not that I even think there's a real problem at all).

[Glopy]

If you honestly dont see a problem then your in denial about it all

[sammy]

If you have a problem with a certain DJ's quality maybe you can PM Jess & Gemma and it'll be looked into :P.

[Dinosaurawrr]

If you honestly dont see a problem then your in denial about it all

I really don't see why your so hooked on making complaints about Habboxlive, you have managed to create two threads in a week about Habboxlive and your opinion just to get angry and rude when others reply.
Don't like what we have to say in return to your opinions? don't make a thread.
You seem to think your opinion suits everyone, and guess what it don't. Sam, Matt, James and me try to reply in a nice way and to your 'concerns' (which to me is just looking for attention and to complain as much as you possibly can which really isn't going to make a diffrence as I will have a answer for everything you say.) and you retaliate in the utmost rudest way I have ever saw.

Look at HFFM look at Clubhabbo there doing much worse than us therefore we are doing something right, we are trying our hardest and Tbh I thought that a certain someone was quite rude to you and I didn't think that was fair but i've changed my mind.


All the DJs and managment here at Habbox have Habboxlive's best intrests but we do not need to sit here and take rude behaviour from you because we do not agree with your comments.

[AgnesIO]

That's just it though, we woulden't like it if other fansites decided to scout around Habboxlive stealing our DJs and we wouldent like doing the same back, Personally I think that it's a silly idea having DJ apps trial for two weeks on main radio.

Sadly no matter what people like, to get the best quality you head hunt the best people. Someone of habbox's power over other fansites, should have no problem doing so.

[Grig]

For those defending yourselves, don't live in rejection because I've seen it and saw that HxL was indeed better in the olden days. Mainly because they got it right by hiring really good DJs, they got lucky. Nowadays you don't get such 'outstanding' DJ apps as in the past and that's where it fails. Show content has fallen, and it really needs to add some wally here and there. Mind you I'd recommend someone of the DJs to post some sites where DJs can discuss content, there are a few nice ones. Revive shows such as various vault shows etc. If you keep denying these facts stated above I can send you some shows from '06 and let you compare them to now. Yet, we can't waddle around in the past, as it's not going to come back, however nostalgia may wish.

Management do have HxL's best interests at hand, and you can't expect them to fire a DJ team and magically be able to get a new one. These DJs are not professionals, they do not have a qualification and do not get paid for this kind of stuff, so keep this fact in mind. Mind you, I don't believe the amount of time some spend on an online Habbo based radio. Also, you're only going to get a specific demographic of DJs working here as you don't normally see 20 year olds playing Habbo, which by point becomes sad. It's now being catered to a younger audience than ever before and older folk may not like it.

[Matthew]

i do agree that the standard has gone down, but as sam said, habbox can only hire those who apply, and im sure that the managers are hiring the best djs that actually apply

[chantellehugs]

If I'm correct in saying, I believe some of the listeners do tune in for specific DJ's, many of them ask when their favorite DJ is going to be on next. So just because someone has an opinion that 'oh in the olden days we used to tune in when we saw that this person was doing a show' and thinks that's not how it is now is wrong. You don't like the current DJ's because they're younger, obviously when you were younger your favorite DJ's were about the same age as you, so you liked them. You can't say it's going downhill because of DJ quality, it's the fact that you've gotten older that's the reason you don't like the current DJ's..
I've said this twice now. 2006 was four years ago, people go through secondary education in five years, that means the listeners from 2006, have moved on. Like many of the DJ's. As Habbo gets updated, you get new 'generations' of listeners tuning in, and old listeners leaving Habbo or w/e.

Can't remember who this was aimed at. But rant over.

When I was younger the DJ's were far older than me

[chantellehugs]

Do you mean all the DJ's or your favorite ones were older than you. Because if they were older then we can all expect them to have moved on. One day the current DJ's will move on too.
And I'm sure if they were older than you that they'd be really good DJ's, but they started off somewhere, they didn't just wake up and become amazing DJ's. And that's what the current DJ's will do, you just probably won't be listening when their 'quality' fulfills your expectations.

Habbox used to higher DJ's who have stopped watching teletubbies.

Although as I have said, the target age of habbo has gone down, so we can expect dj's to be younger too, so it isn't really habbox's fault

Thank you - that is a good point, its just the young dj's that don't seem to like the fact, that quality has gone down - although as I have said that isn't really habbox's fault, as the general age group of habbo players has gone down.

Also lighten up people. The teletubbies thing was just a little joke - no need for the two -reps for a fairly obvious bit of fun. If you are going to -rep me, at least have the courtersy to leave your names.

I dont see any One other then staff who disagree about this post tbh, so good fight there, i like the way your fans disagree. Btw for the 10 year olds out there, its sarcasm

and yeah the majortiy of the DJs where my age, and older. i remember mikey was about 17 getting hes ped deliverd, jess was 16, DJ nikki was 16/17 DJ knowalot was 17. so quality does seem to come with age habbox..

Wow do you want to get off your high horse? Your posts are arrogant and condescending, an immature way to communicate with people no matter how old you are. Its much more difficult to get a constructive discussion going when you're ripping people unnecessarily, just because someone is younger than you does not mean that they're your inferior.

Speaking as someone who was back there in the "good old days" there were plenty of 13 and 14 year olds back then. There was even an 11 year old DJ and there was a 9 year old member of staff, who was one of the better ones. So the assumption that "quality comes with age" is false. What we have to recognize is that we are older than we were back then. We're much more critical and much less willing to accept anything other than uber professionalism. However the younger demographic is still there and many DJs still have crazy fanchildren.

Additionally, I doubt that management is actively trying to recruit those who are "immature", I'm sure if older DJs that were quality were about they'd be hired. If not, then I think the department is doing a pretty good job of managing with what they have.

My suggestion to you sir, is to make constructive comments without ripping on younger kids unnecessarily or criticizing management without understanding or at least asking about the problems they're facing.

[Glopy]

Oh ok. how comes the ones under 13/14 and the 9 year old. arnt rememberd. what where there names?

NO body remembers because they did nothing to be rememberd by. just like DJS on habbox right now, no ones going to remember them. and look back and think. WOW that dj was amazing. and my horse is amazing thanx.

[nvrspk4]

Because a good portion of the staff was 13 or 14, I didn't really classify them by their ages so its hard for me to think back 4-6 years and pick out people by their age at the time. Some of the staff you named were DJs when they were 13/14. The 9 year old was a Forum Moderator, I only mentioned him to prove that maturity isn't dependent on age.

[Glopy]

They might of been. but only really became good once they hit 13/14 and stop bad repping me. not like it does anything,

[nvrspk4]

They might of been. but only really became good once they hit 13/14 and stop bad repping me. not like it does anything,

1) I thought 13/14 was too young?
2) How do you know that they were only good when they were 13/14? And if they turned 13/14 in 2006, how can you say they weren't good before? My point is you're talking without facts to back you up.

I bad repped you because I disapproved of your condescending and rude comments. I didn't intend it to do anything other than convey my opinion but obviously its hit a nerve since you care enough to mention it.

[Glopy]

i have plenty of bed rep, it doesn't bother me. well they only became notice able, when they became around that age, which was the age where only real good sites, hired,

[nvrspk4]

Ah good about the -rep not mattering to you, I'm glad it really was your deep hatred of Obama that caused your response rep :P

Once again, where are you drawing the claim that they only became noticeable around that age, especially if you didn't listen to the radio when said DJs were younger? And as far as "real good sites", Habbox has always been one of the "real good sites" and obviously hired younger DJs. Our real competition in Radio has been HabboHut, ClubHabbo, and HFFM though HFFM came later and wasn't as big, and the main criticism of ClubHabbo used to be that the DJs were very young and had an immature following. So I'm finding it difficult to accept your point of good sites only accepting older DJs...

[Glopy]

Ok, my point was only that they were referred to as immature, but I'll concede it because its not really relevant...

WAIT.. how old are you,... and you play runescape?

18 and I used to...haven't logged onto RS in years...why?

I stopped listening because DJ's just seemed to bum eachother and none of them really interacted with his or her listeners. The music is really repetitive too, on every show the same song gets played usually once, then in the next hour, and so fourth. I also used to get really annoyed with the international DJ's, I have nothing against them, but they seem to lack talent compared to the UK DJ's (this is my opinion, I haven't listened in a while now!). A lot of the good DJ's over time were fired, such as Mikey or James (there have been like a thousand James' since). Some left like H0BJ0B, and very few DJ's appealed to me anymore, frankly the only ones I like now are SamLouise and Scott.

I also tuned in the other day to hear the DJ telling us to do a competition at I think 25 listeners, which wasn't really very realistic for 6am, I think they should jut do competitions ignoring how many listeners there are (unless there is like 10 :P) and maybe just focus on entertaining to listeners they have, to me, its more about quality, not quantity, and eventually it should pay out with new listeners anyway, of course, it doesn't help that habbo is dying but meh.

EDIT: And it is really annoying when DJ's don't think what they're about to say next, and just say "urm, errr, urm, errr....", and when they are looking for songs, do it when a song is playing, rather than tell use your searching for it and so on. We really don't care. :)

Forgot aboout aydans post. Aydan is spot on here in my opinion, but then dj's won't agree with you aydan :L

Bloody hell people LIGHTEN UP. My post was constructive, I was just joking about the teletubbies thing. Instead of -repping me (and being scared to leave your name), why not reply and proove me wrong how how young dj's are?

In my other posts I have stated it is not habbox's fault, but the fact you get offended by the teletubbies JOKE to me says that you are quite young - as I would have thought/hope anyone above the age of about 10 might realise it is a joke.

[Ajthedragon]

If you get -repped just report it to Brandon, he'll sort ya out! :) If the DJ's -rep you that aren't really doing themselves any favours, they just make themselves look silly. :P I think my post was constructive, and given I posted it after I just got up I can only see one spelling mistake! :O

I cannot prove it was the DJ's, although I am certain two of them were.

Yeh it was constructive, although I think mine was, just I put a joke in there too haha.

Anyway at least we can say we have given our feedback, so if listeners drop even more 'we told you so' :P

Although I do not think they will drop even more, as habbox should be starting to get more popular with the aussies, yanks and other countries now.

[sammy]

All of them were older than me.

Habbox used to higher DJ's who have stopped watching teletubbies.

Although as I have said, the target age of habbo has gone down, so we can expect dj's to be younger too, so it isn't really habbox's fault

There's no need to be rude like that. It's honestly so frustrating when generally DJs work hard to entertain you and all we get shoved back in our faces is people taking the piss. If you feel that the DJs are too young at least be civil and get your point across without being blatantly rude.

I honestly do not see a huge problem in age of DJs, it's possibly a small issue but not a huge one in my opinion. We don't have many young DJs at all, there's possibly 2 or 3 but no more. :P

I do agree that repetition is a huge problem, songs are repeated pretty much every couple of hours but I think a lot of DJs are working hard to try and get some more variety in and ignore a few requests for songs that are played all the time (I certainly am trying!). There isn't really a lot HxL can do to stop repetition, it's really up to the DJs to individually try and play some older songs or songs from different genres etc. The listeners are increasing and have stayed close to the 100 mark for a lot of the holidays so far, hopefully this will continue when school starts again! :)

HOW MANY TIMES DO I NEED TO SAY IT WAS JUSTG A LITTLE JOKE. I wasn't aiming to offend people, I thought I would just lighten up the mood - although it is nice somebody has finally replied to the thread, instead of just -repping without leaving their name. So +Rep for that one.

Perhaps DJ's use a form and put their playlists in to it, so DJ's from then on can see the form and check how many times songs have been played. I know that could be a pain, but it might help.

I understand what you're saying, however there are ways of getting around it, for example a local radio station in my area does this 9-5 no repeat show, and if a song is repeated you get a prize, I just love listening to it because of the variety - maybe HxL could do something like that, although in the evening when you have a majority of your listeners and give out prizes if they repeat a song more than once. :) Maybe use a thread to list the songs already played? :)

how do you unsubscribe from a post, and how do you close a thread ;D someone do it for me. 95 notifications later im starting to wish i didnt speak my mind.

In your UserCP there should be a list of new subscribed threads once someone replies, click Unsubscribe under the thread. You could also go to Thread Tools and click Unsubscribe From this Thread.

As for closing the thread I think its saved for VIPs, and plus Ajthedragon is giving some of the best HxL constructive criticism that I've seen in a while so hopefully the thread can continue in that direction.

No DJs here at HabboxLive are under the age of 12/13 that might even be too young, but no-one is under the age of 12/13 so there's your proof that you are wrong. You are being constructive in your posts however this is based on opinions that you all can have :P

I don't thats very accurate, pretty sure most songs get played more times than the most ever played a day. :P

i dont get why someone bad reped me for apparently copying other peoples threads? this is my opinion. how could i copy anyone else?

Are you sure that was the full reason? I will admit I -repped you and that was because you -repped me complaining instead of appreciating my help and the fact I agreed with you, so I believe you should read the whole post first. You said Habbox doesn't need a sponsor and I replied with clear facts as to why it does. Habbox doesn't cost pennies to run. It costs around £250 a month.

More like you don't like people proving you wrong.
