Thanks Joey (Mrs.McCall)

[Calvin]

Excellent member of the articles team, I'm sure everyone will agree!

Does this mean Teenage Lives will stop?

[scott]

A good member of staff until his latest article I guess lol. Best of luck for the futureee although he seems to be banned lol.

[Judas]

unless teenage lives comes back on another site i think it will stop, his forum account also appears to be banned so :P

thanks joey xxxxxxxxx

[Slowpoke]

What was the article? Loads of people have been fired today

[Inseriousity.]

Kinda proved his point sigh.

Anyway, best of luck for the future. I disagreed with most of what you said but good luck all the same :)

[Chris]

I guess Teenage Lives will stop, but you could always go back and read the original series 5 if you want to round it off.

Thanks and good luck anyway, I guess...

[lawrawrrr]

Yeah, shame to see him go TBH, and I will miss teenage lives. I wish him all the best for the future.

[Samantha]

Does this 'article' still exust? If so links please.

Habbox has become exciting.

However, agreed lovely member and asset to the team.

[lawrawrrr]

Does this 'article' still exust? If so links please.

He deleted it out of respect, about 2 minutes after it was originally posted.

[Jsoh]

what did the article contain? DRAMA

[Alkaz]

Does this mean Teenage Lives will stop?
Indeed :(

Shame to see you go Joey. Speak to you soon xo

[FlyingJesus]

Best articles staff there ever was other than myself. Would be interested to see the offending piece

[dirrty]

huh what did i miss?

[Slowpoke]

Oh my god what's happening to Habbox lately are we going back to the controversial ways of 07/08? Yes please!!! What's this article that he posted about

[Grig]

It's a shame he made an exit the way he did as he was an extremely talented journalist. It's a true shame and I wish you luck Joey.

[Hecktix]

It's a shame that you let yourself down as your writing skills are something special.

[ChickenFaces]

Don't know exactly what was in the article but I've seen people get fired for some pretty silly reasons. You were a great asset to Habbox, don't lose your spark and I hope I see your work in the future :)

[Hayleigh]

No Joey :'( I'd just got into your writing. :( Goodluck your an amazing writer <3

[Mathew]

Saw the article before it was removed and I must admit, I lost a lot of respect for Joey. He really does know how to get fired with a bang doesn't he? :P

[Catzsy]

Omg Joey what have you done this time(yn)(yn):'(:'( A super person though so I am sorry to see you go. With creativity comes a certain temperament - so I guess you take the rough with the smooth. Hope you can see this on another account. :love:

[Gemma]

bye joey, you were a brilliant writer :(

[Misawa]

was an extremely talented journalist.

Not quite.

[Deak]

Good luck for the future :)

[despect]

Good luck in the future. :)

[Nuxty]

Thanks Joey for all the work you did.

For those concerned about Teenage Lives, I am afraid it will stop. We will be looking for something new to replace it.

[Misawa]

Thanks for the -reps for my quote. I was pointing out the fact taht he isn't a journalist.

[Catzsy]

Maybe a thanks and goodbye would have been nice as well. I think people misunderstood you as it looked a bit negative and he was very good at what he did. I don't think anybody is up to the standard of a journalist on the forum and so whilst a subjective comment it was the way they felt. :)

[Grig]

I am going to disagree and say that a journalist is someone who collects and presents information about current affairs, which is what Joey did in the news department I am sure.

[.x.miss.angel.x]

Oh deary. I liked that series too! Whats with all the firing (SP) habbox? Good Luck in the future Joey!

[Callum.]

Half of what he said was attention seeking, but some was spot on. If anyone wants a read...

[Shar]

What a shame :(
Thanks for all your hard work Joey, I'm going to miss teenage lives!

I'll admit a mistake in the fact that I quoted the "talent" part when my intention was to highlight the mention of journalism. I have no qualms with him, he's a capable writer.

On a side note, I am a working journalist. Anyway, I just wanted to clarify because the word gets thrown around a lot.

so? this thread is about joey, not you

[Misawa]

Catzy said there were no genuine journos on the forum.

[Casanova]

goodbye Joey.
Didn't know you too well but you did work damn hard for the news/articles department :)

[JoeyK.]

Bye Joey, you're probably one of the oldest staff members that was still involved with Hx at all, and one of the few I'd always respected.

[e5]

I assumed this was why you went out of your way to point out that he isn't a journalist, as you are one yourself.

It did seem a sort of "i'm the only journalist on here" big head remark, from my point of view.

Nope, I just annoyed when people throw the word around and use it incorrectly.

[JoeyK.]

Funny to see Hectix saying you 'let yourself down' in this thread. Apparently he's incapable of taking any constructive criticism whatsoever. Actually, it's management who let themselves down, since they're no longer the most visited Habbo fansite (I'm not positive on this fact, but Alkaz told me himself that this is the case prior to his resignation). Habbox had a golden ticket to the top spot, but apparently they let themselves get beat by ClubHabbo who used to advertise on these very forums to steal members? Lmao.

I recently got my hands on a copy of the original article, and have to agree 100% with Joey. Habbox is about sucking up now, not how well you do your job. It's been that way for years though, unfortunately. Apart from Jess, I recognize absolutely no one on the manager list - though several staff who should have been there by this point.

Way to emo out, Hx. How the mighty have fallen. Huge props to Joey for speaking his mind, something 95% of the staff here will never do even though they know how... screwed up, for lack of an unfiltered term, the system is. He deserves a medal instead of a ban.

[JoeyK.]

Apologies for the double post, but I need to exclude a few people from my blanket statement above. There are quite a few members/managers who are doing the best they can, including but not limited to;

Inseriousity.
Nicola
HotelUser
Grig
Catzsy

I wish you the best of luck, and hope you can be the ones to bring Habbox back to its former glory.

[Felix]

I have to agree with you on the point the Club Habbo is visited more these days, as it is very true.
They have more Radio Listeners, more posts daily on the forum. And thats what everyone speaks about. Hopefully Hx will get back to the top, I personally have my own opinion to why we have lost alot of our members, but I do not wish to get banned lol.

I am not sure where you get your facts or figures from but as far as the forum is concerned
Habbox is fine.

On-topic. Joey was a great person who did a lot for Habbox and I was sorry to see him go.
As this is a congratulations thread if you wish to discuss activity etc you may wish to post in Feedback. Thanks :)

They do? :S Maybe you should check more carefully when we're getting 110 on weekends and clubhabbo are struggling to get over 40. The same during the week when we're hitting 80 and they're struggling to get 40 as well. Have a look at the stats before making up stuff like that

Correct, HabboxLive has been doing fantastic recently. The listeners have been higher as ever and I can't really see ClubHabbo beating that any time soon, I went on the site last night and they only had 4.

[Martin]

If we're changing this to a clubhabbo/habbox comparison thread then it's also worth noting the amount of users online the forums on each site. A couple of days ago we hit 130 members online, which is a huge amount and one that had not been reached for many, many months. I see Clubhabbo struggle to get 60 members online at peak times on occasions now.

I think It's unfair to make these comparisons though, since fansites do unfortunately go through bad patches. Personally I feel that many of the departments at Habbox are doing extremely well at the moment. We have Habboxlive back to achieving over 100 listeners, and the Events department have been filling most hourly slots in the GMT timezone with a higher average amount of events than as been had in absolutely ages.


I think sometimes having a negative view on things can just create a bad atmousphere, when really we should take these things and turn them into something positive. Personally I feel Habbox is improving in some areas, and of course there will be areas we can still improve on. As it stands I personally feel that Habbox is in a better position that clubhabbo at this moment in time, however of course it's been a yoyo between the two in the past.


In regards to this thread issue, there will always be different opinions on how things are ran. As managers we do what's best for Habbox, and this is shown through the way we listen to the community, start up new events/competitions with the community in mind- and work together as a team to ensure the community gets a good experience whilst here. Stats for february aren't normally a pretty picture with it being a fairly quiet month on average, however the stats this month so far haven't been too bad at all. The valentines ball was a massive success with all areas of our sites getting huge promotion and it was managed superbly and was a very memorable event in my opinion.

With the introduction of V6, it gives us a real chance to promote the main area of Habbox in terms of our site/content, and as managers we are and will do our best to see that it's used wisely to promote and cater for the needs of everyone. People will always have different opinions on how things are going I understand, but sometimes you need to offer it as constructive feedback which can then be worked on, rather than personally insulting people who put in a hell of a lot of time and effort for nothing to see this site succeed.

This is the case indeed, HxL was being beaten in October/ November- but has rebounded and is strongly, now better than any radio station on the English speaking hotel and I can only view the situation getting better and better. So it really is a round to recovery, as has been with a fantastic new system and a dedicated team of wonderful DJs.
