I just had a brainwave (HxL)

[Cwmbran]

Ok so this idea may be terrible but it may be good I dunno I'm too tired to think atm but thought I better write it down just incase.

So you know how all HxL DJ's go on about Habbo? (Haven't listend for awhile because last time I did the DJ just banged on about Habbo) Why not have some non-habbo related DJs? As a large section of the forum do not use Habbo it may draw in some more listeners if the DJ isn't banging on about Habbo half the time.

Ok after reading it it doesn't sound that good but im gonna post it anyway.

[Stephen]

yeah and while they're at it they can change habboxlive.com to nonhabbo-xlive.com aswell!

I'd recommend radio 1 or something if u dont wanna listen to anything habbo related

soz but -rep for trying nafanny

[beth]

when i used to dj, i was pretty much a non-habbo dj and it didn't work at all, the habbo listeners get pissed off and tune out because yr not on the hotel and in some room with them or something.

Thats a pretty stupid reason to be tuning out

[Richie]

It's a great idea but I don't think it'd be introduced. I'd love to present on habboxlive again, brings back good memory's. I just love my forum name too much, becoming a dj would mean a name change:'(.


I do think having dj's just to advertise the forum and events, non habbo related aspects of the site would be beneficial, it would bring that "edge" and maybe some of the older djs on the forum would tune in. At the same time you'd get the odd listener who would wine but after time it would become a normal thing. Not to mention the amount of users who would register to the forum. I know when a came back to habboxlive a while back loads of people from spam tuned in because I got into that "group" if you get me.

I don't mean totaly abandon habbox, just have djs for the non habbo side of the site.

[Catzsy]

I actually think this is quite a good idea - maybe for older members later at night/early morning. It could be called the 'Spam Hour'. :P

Exactly thank you! Not sure about the rules of HxL but im guessing they cant go around and using adult language but surely if its a late night show say midnight-1am them rules could be losend a bit.

We are an international fansite, when it's 1am here it's prime time in America, we need to watch for all time zones so having a time when we can have "adult language" isn't really appropriate at any time. Considering we are a Habbo fansite and as bethie said the listeners do tend to go away if the show isn't very habbo related - that's why they came to the site though from habbo.

I do think it is a good idea though but I don't really think it would workk

I don't agree with the adult language. As for some habbos tuning out, some might even enjoy the change. Think of it positively, yes habbos may tune out but people who haven't listened to the radio may tune in. It will promote the forum and other departments. It brings habboxlive a little twist. Those habbos who tuned out will tune in at another time to see if there is any "habbo djs" online, as will those who tuned in from the forum, weither they are a habbo dj or not people might hop ship and give it a chance. So either way, if you look at it from the correct angle. It's a win win for habbox.

[scott]

What do you mean you don't agree with the adult language?

[Cwmbran]

What do you mean you don't agree with the adult language?
Just think he doesn't agree with it. I didn't mean like allow swearing and stuff just losen the rules on it allow songs with that sort or stuff in if one is requested. But as you pointed out its international so thats a good enough reason not to.

[Richie]

What do you mean you don't agree with the adult language?

Like I don't agree it should be allowed :P

[scott]

Its a Habbo fansite. They come here for Habbo related things. BBC Radio 1 is there for people want a non-habbo station :)

Bad idea sorry :(

Thank you!

Think people are not getting what I said here. I'm not saying ditch the habbo djs I'm saying get one or two more djs that dont bang on about habbo 24/7 because it will surely increase listeners on Habbox Live.

[Maatt.]

This is what i think:

Its HabboxForum which means it should have some relation with habbo.

Personally, I dont think many DJs do bang on about habbo. Some might, but most just speak a little about events, maybe a giveraway, then the party room. Then they move on to other real life things, thats what i do anyway.

I like your idea. But This is what I do anyway. So just tune into me and many other djs. You must just be unlucky with the timings you tune in.

I agree and I disagree. Please dont bother -reping me. Im just giving an opinion.
Just like your giving yours :)

[Chippiewill]

I was thinking of this idea just the other day, I'd listen to HxL far more often if it didn't have 12 year old Habbo loving high-pitched children on the entire time.

[Conservative,]

Really I think there are a few DJs who do this anyway. I go on habbo and say "yeah get down to [room]" but I don't talk about habbo, I stick on music and advertise the forum more than habbo because I don't play habbo for fun anymore.

A few DJs DO bang on about habbo I have heard them but not all of them. So not really a need for it, and every DJ has a unique style anyway.

The only problem is, if they're completely non-habbo (ie; no party etc.) they don't interact with the core listeners - habbo users. Yes there are forum users, but then, name me 5 DJs who use the forum regularly? So really, it's a nice idea, but it happens in moderation already and it would just make things over complicated.

Again.. It must just not have been your day, We dont have many 'chipmunk' 12 yr olds.
Its just your bad day i think,

We have loads of DJs tbh. from all around, different ages and all... If it is such a big deal with you, listen to BBC Radio 1. Or apply and show us what you have!

The youngest DJs are 12 and they're all girls. The youngest boys we have I think are 13/14 and they all have broken voices so yeah matt you're right there aren't any squeaky DJs really, considering girls' voices don't break to the same extent as boy's.

[Nemo]

Everytime ive tuned in the music has been the worst quality ive ever heard and its usually been a parody song or somethin crap.

but yeh i agree with this well done nafan


sayin that i probably wouldnt tune in anyway unless it was like top 20 of this week, like listening to what i want

what are you even doing asking to not get -reps i'm actually really tempted to give you now. you're arguing with everything without legit reasons . i think you'll find most of the djs here are either plain bad or sound bad. why should he have to listen to radio 1 if he's suggesting for habboxlive... only a idea?

i personally love this idea, particularly towards the later hours. to be fair our target audience should be uk anyway even if we are merged so i can't see the harm of having this every so often.

Sorry but for you to sit there and say that near enough every DJ here is bad is just stupid. Do you listen to habboxlive? Apparently not so I don't understand why you can sit and say they are all bad. If you listen to them all and think they are all bad then maybe your opinion would be correct. Then again it's your opinion and clearly the listeners of HabboxLive don't think that or they wouldn't be coming back.

have you considered why i don't listen to habboxlive? here's why...

- it just goes buffer buffer buffer
- the song quality of some dj's is appauling at least make it look legal
- childish voices

[Mathew]

Not to mention the amount of users who would register to the forum. I know when a came back to habboxlive a while back loads of people from spam tuned in because I got into that "group" if you get me.
It's all well and good if "people from spam" tune in to HabboxLive.. but why would their presence help you to get more people registering on HxF? :P

To be fair, pretty much all HxL listeners play Habbo, there's no disputing the fact. People tune in because they're either some kind of "follower" and listen constantly, or because they want to win some furniture. Someone has already mentioned that people tune out if there's a lack of Habbo relation, because what people want is furniture.

Sure it would be nice for some variety in the Habbo and non-Habbo players.. but I do think it's far too ambiguous as to whether you class yourself as a "player" (no, not that kind) or not.

oh and on that note.. I can listen to HxL perfectly so the first point is your problem. Song quality, yeah I agree but then if it's a recurring problem you know who to PM. Childish voices, now that's just being rather silly.. if you want some "grown up" (:rolleyes:) voices then just listen to BBC. It's a radio on a flipping fansite aimed at teenagers.

[scott]

1) your internet, doesn't buffer for other people or yes I agree that would be a serious issue.
2) song quality is something that we always check. If a song is played that is bad quality we know about it and the DJ gets informed not to play it.
3) that's just silly lol, there may be the odd childish voice but you're telling me out of about 35 DJs they all have childish voices? rightttt!

[Catzsy]

Have a spam request hour then :P xx

[Chippiewill]

I think every DJ under the age of 16 should be scrapped, especially the girls since every girl under 16 makes me want to rip my ears off because they seem to be unable to speak at any pitch under 20000hz.

[Inseriousity.]

The HabboxLive audience is generally younger than the forum so I can see why you'd want to have some DJs that cater towards your needs but I don't think the demand is sustainable to warrant it. Sure people say 'good idea' in the feedback forum all the time but that doesn't necessarily mean they'll then follow it up and listen. I think if they started doing this, they'd be aiming at a target audience that isn't as interested in DJs than the core audience of young Habbo players. I think they should continue to concentrate on this audience and hopefully work more to get them into other branches of Habbox, such as the events, HxHD, comps or just the forum generally as normally the HxL crowd is normally isolated and segregated from the wider community.

[Chippiewill]

I don't think anyone is suggesting entirely scrap the habbo part of HxL, but try and get away from it once in a while.

When you think about it, how many people listen to habboxlive, at the moment 46, on the forums there are currently 85 members online. Which is the bigger audience?

[Calvin]

I've been tuning in more than I did before recently since the release of V6 and I have to say, the quality of HabboxLive has improved a lot. There are a few who still need to improve but if I have a problem with their show then I normally let them know.

I don't quite get what you mean by non-Habbo DJs, open apps under that name or what? @HxL management, is there any current rules that they have to go on the client every show?

[Inseriousity.]

I know they're not suggesting that but I think that the lack of a sustainable demand for it means that it'd be pointless attempting it. Out of those 85 members online, we'd have to ask how many would listen to HxL if there was no Habbo element. I imagine it'd be a lot less than 46 (possibly not even in double figures!).

[Conservative,]

What about those DJs who are good who are under 16 You're basically scrapping half the team + like all the Senior DJs & 2 Head DJs?

I agree, some of the DJs are annoying and have high voices and I hate it, but not all DJs under 16 are annoying, high pitched etc. The Don even admitted I have a deeper voice than him :L And a few others (Gina for example) are good DJs - she's 12. So really, that's a silly idea.

I may have been a bit too general about it, but to check I'm right I just listened to a show and it was shockingly difficult to listen to due to the high voice. If you listen to any radio station you may notice something slightly odd, women on the radio will always have very deep voices comparatively, this will be partially due to the microphones but it is much more comfortable to listen to for a long time so they generally hire women with deeper voices, the same generally goes for singers.

Admittedly on a 24/7 thing then it would be much lower, but if it was just a couple of slots a week then you'd have most, if not all, of spam tuning in. That is, if they were aware of it.

It is easier, however I'm sure there is some kind of (unwritten?) rule where Jess only hires DJs with (certainly males anyway) broken voices. I remember applying when I was 12/13 and not getting in - because my voice was too squeaky. First application after my voice broke - got in.

Generally with the males I hear on the radio it's fine, although if they had better microphones that'd be nicer, that might be asking too much. It might sound weird to add a bar for females but if it's more comfortable to listen too then that's a plus.

[Mathew]

Why has a thread about non-Habbo DJs gone on to talk about women with deep voices...? I can't believe people actually care about squeaky voices on a radio aimed at young teenagers. What on earth do you expect? Brian Blessed?


When you think about it, how many people listen to habboxlive, at the moment 46, on the forums there are currently 85 members online. Which is the bigger audience?
HxL has had higher numbers recently, usually more than 85 anyway. Still, very few people would actually tune in to a non-Habbo DJ consistently, every show. Maybe they would the first to prove a point but afterwards... well it's still a Habbo radio isn't it? I do wonder too, how many people would actually apply for the position too.


I've been tuning in more than I did before recently since the release of V6 and I have to say, the quality of HabboxLive has improved a lot.
I've tuned in the odd time since V6 but only to take part in the competitions. Oh look, there's where a big chunk of the listeners come from! :rolleyes: :P

[Chippiewill]

HxL has had higher numbers recently, usually more than 85 anyway.
There's reason for that which is somewhat clearly obvious and I fear it is not the efforts of the habboxlive department but the efforts of David.

Fair enough. And yes good mics are nice, but then we're teenagers, not like we can afford £1,000 studio mics is it? ;) But I agree it's easier to listen to deeper female voices, but then, how do you judge that, because female voices are quite similar if you get me :P I agree. But your first statement was a bit like o.O lol

I still highly doubt a HxF Radio going head-to-head with a Habbo radio would yield more listeners :(

I didn't mean literally cut off everyone below 16, just the stereotypical high pitch voices person. And granted, studio mics are expensive, but some of the speakings sounds like it's over a £3 headset.

Maybe because it is? :L Given the fact that some of the DJs are literally just kids, with only money from their parents or paper rounds, not as if they can splash out on a £40/50 mic like the 17/18 year olds ;) But I understand. I admit I was probably a shockingly annoying DJ when I started with my built-in mic and squeaky voice and I hate it when I tune in to a site and find a DJ like that so I understand your view.

[Hecktix]

The HabboxLive figures were 100+ way before V6. HabboxLive is a very strong department, you clearly have no idea about anything to do with HabboxLive and once again you are moaning in a feedback thread to suit yourself and not Habbox.

HabboxLive and HabboxForum are separate entities, I said this in another thread earlier, Habbox.com and HabboxLive.com are purely Habbo related sites and it needs to be like that for us to attract our audience - HABBO players. We don't want to attract another audience other than Habbo players. HabboxForum however has a non-Habbo element which enhances the forum to be one of the best Habbo forums around, however whereas older users may be a priority on the forum I apologise but you are simply not a priority of Habbox, HabboxLive and Habbox.com are aimed at the younger members and this is how it always has been as we need a way of sustaining our member numbers, if we focused on creating 3 sites to please the members we already have we wouldn't do very well as an organisation in general.

[Cwmbran]

I feel like everyone thinks I've suggested we scrap the habbo djs when infact I've said keep them.
I don't listen to HxL atm so how often do you run competitions on there? Every hour? Way back when I did listen and use habbo im pretty sure it wasnt every hour so for that hour or so just have some non-habbo related stuff going on.

All I'm suggesting is bring in a couple of non-habbo related djs. Not specifically for the spam bunch just for the non-habbo users that would like to listen to HxL without constantly hearing about Habbo. I want to help and support this site so I don't really want to be tuning into another radio station. Plus for myself its highly convenient to just go to one site for a radio that has an hour or two which is not habbo based and have access to the forum from the same page.

If you want to keep it solely habbo based thats fair enough just felt like most people were getting the wrong idea.

Bit off topic here but why is parts of this thread in itallics? Like the quick reply thing is all wrong. Hectix username is in itallics so is mine....

[Jin]

I understand your idea Cwmbran but what Oli has stated is the true basis of our reasons against it.

Even if we were to introduce a non-habbo show that would only be a top 40 show without the competitions thus isn't going to positively improve our stats,
secondly it will really piss off the habbo players they are a very demanding bunch

If you are really that desperate to listen to HxL I suggest listening using the forum player or habboxlive.com

[Grig]

To the person who said that song quality is good, it's not. I can easily tell if it's illegal or not, but other seem to not be able to. The song should be 320 kbps if you want it to be radio quality. Also, I do not get why mono is used, you want things to be stereo.

My shows tended to be real-life based, I would talk about real life news, issues and just in general. I am 19 and do not really play Habbo, only log on to give stuff away or visit the help desk so I couldn't care less about Habbo if I'm being honest and I wanted shows to be based on real life as that is something I would want to tune into. I know for a fact that I got many older listeners listening to my shows as well, because of such reasons.

As for DJs saying their shows are all 'real-life', they are not. If you want to classify yourself as a DJ who basis their shows on real-life then you need to show for it by doing news, talking about the issues in the world or in life in general. DJs have improved A LOT since the last few months and the radio is really going somewhere, but it annoys me to think that some DJs are coming in here acting all high and mighty like they are on radio 1and claiming they do things that they do not.

I would like this idea. Swearing is a big no no- you don't really see it on real life radio either. You could do a late show based on real life, during UK nights/ American afternoons, which would be of great potential. To do this, you would need people who know how to do such shows and not make it what people claim they do atm and expand the content within the shows to a greater extent.

Point 1) The honest truth is almost all of the presenters use illegal music, who cares though? How I see it is, you pay for what you get. If you're going to download illegaly, so be it, it's you that may get caught and have to cough up a hefty fee. If you are going to download illegally, at least spend that little extra time looking for the best quality track. Just remember it is your loss not mine, "haha but you pay for your music so you're losing out" yep, but I get the best quality you can possibly receive. Also guys I know buying individual tracks can add up, if you want to buy music look into record company's. Some do deals like 100 new tracks in four months for £50.

Point 2) I totally agree, it is only the small minority, the only presenters I actually like are the ones that think they're bad because normally they are quite entertaining and stick to the chase. I personally I hate people who are up their own asses.

Point 3) I totally disagree with presenters being able to swear. I do think swearing in songs should be a little lenient after the watershed. I can understand why they don't allow it though, it's a shame for the uk users that habbox is internationally based. If we were stricly uk based I think management may of given it a thought. I love rap & r&b, trying to strip the tracks down until it's clean is not only a nightmare but it sounds bad.

Illegal music doesn't neccesarily mean bad quality. More than half of my friends, that i know never pay for music, have just as good quality (or at least so close it's not noticeable) as regular legal downloads.

However i agree that the odd time i tune in to habboxlive, the song quality isn't always up to standard.

To the person who said that song quality is good, it's not. I can easily tell if it's illegal or not, but other seem to not be able to. The song should be 320 kbps if you want it to be radio quality. Also, I do not get why mono is used, you want things to be stereo.

My shows tended to be real-life based, I would talk about real life news, issues and just in general. I am 19 and do not really play Habbo, only log on to give stuff away or visit the help desk so I couldn't care less about Habbo if I'm being honest and I wanted shows to be based on real life as that is something I would want to tune into. I know for a fact that I got many older listeners listening to my shows as well, because of such reasons.

As for DJs saying their shows are all 'real-life', they are not. If you want to classify yourself as a DJ who basis their shows on real-life then you need to show for it by doing news, talking about the issues in the world or in life in general. DJs have improved A LOT since the last few months and the radio is really going somewhere, but it annoys me to think that some DJs are coming in here acting all high and mighty like they are on radio 1and claiming they do things that they do not.

I would like this idea. Swearing is a big no no- you don't really see it on real life radio either. You could do a late show based on real life, during UK nights/ American afternoons, which would be of great potential. To do this, you would need people who know how to do such shows and not make it what people claim they do atm and expand the content within the shows to a greater extent.

i feel like when i dj'ed (apart from hxss cause then obv had to be on habbo) i did a less-habbo show, infact i did a whole show on a monday that wasn't even involved with habbo and though it did well, people still ******* cause i wasn't on habbo :S

They should allow swearing on the radio, it'd open up a whole lot of songs for the DJs. Then again the ones I've listened to recently seem to enjoy justin bieber so it wouldn't make a difference.

I like the idea of one show a week dedicated to none habbo things, maybe not UK primetime, but one show a week wouldn't hurt, and would possibley make habboxlive more popular?

Wether a song is 320Kbps or not is irrelevent in terms of Habbox. Iirc they stream at something like 96Kbps.

Thats exactly what I thought, but most people are split on it except managment who don't think it's good. :(

It doesn't work that way- it doesn't matter if they stream at 12 or 320, the lower the kpbs on a song, the worse it sounds on any bitrate- more fuzziness starts, less acoustics etc.
