Fansites.

[Qzaki]

Didn't know where to post this so just gonna post this here.

How popular are fan sites these days? I remember back in the day when I use to actually like them some sites would get 100+ listeners on radios etc. How are things these days?

[lawrawrrr]

They're definitely less popular, doesn't help there's about 10000 of them too. Thanks to the MP almost destroying RV, the way Habbo are banning links and things, it's very difficult to find REALLY successful ones. However, the longer running ones seem to be doing ok, especially with the mute driving people (here) to find information and talk to people while still playing Habbo. We seem to have seen a surge in posts/users since the mute started!

Ah, I was considering opening a fan site. Just seeing if it'd be worth my time. :P

i thought you might be!! getting started atm might be quite difficult, but it depends on how much time/effort/disposable income you have!!

- disposable income, probably more than all fan sites atm.
- Time, Enough!
- Effort, I'm willing to put a lot in. But if its not worth my time then I CBA. hence why I'm asking these questions :P

Then it's worth a shot, depending on what you want out of it really! The more Habbo contacts you have you're more likely to get more interest as they can spread the word. With the right design and input, it could be a success!

I have Habbo contacts. Just not the right ones.. :(

I'm pretty sure I could make a kick-ass dynamic website and load it with great content but the only people on Habbo I know are the people in the casinos & black markets. Not really any fan sites guys apart from the people who pay me to code :(

It's always worth making a mock-up and getting feedback on that, would probably entice people. TBH I really get your enthusiasm and I feel like you could actually do really well!!

I'm sure if I do make one, It'll be the best site ever to face the inter webs. But staffing them seems hard especially with my lack of knowing people.

Gaining staff isn't that hard to be fair, obviously depends what kind of roles your looking for them to take.
To be honest i guess i've done quite a bit of hiring and firing since i joined Habbo, if you need any help im always here Zach, just a PM away.

Thanks! :)

Just need to think of a decent name.

Look for a few prejoiners too if you can. As has been said before, it's pretty easy to find staff, but active "non-staff" members is another thing entirely! It seems that everyone wants to be staff these days... :P

And please don't choose a name like HABAMAZING or whatever because they sound ridiculous and how do you expect people to take you seriously when you run around rooms going EVERYONE JOIN THE NEW FANSITE HABZONALIA? ;)

[alede]

Qzaki you would make a great Fan site owner. From what I see on this forum you are everywhere (I only use the Technology side.) People trust and know you.

ahaha yeah I hate sites with silly names. Naming it will probably be the hardest thing :(

Ahah well I actually only use the technology forum on here to (and a few others when it fits). I think I may start a site up soon when I can think of a good name.

Can you try make it unique though please, As I don't even go on the sites just the forums now . Have something where people interacts with it

Like a points board and they can buy things like furni, more messages and so on. (Not just on forum but also they earn points on the site, if possible not sure but worth a try.)

[Kport]

As said above, fansites are less popular now days, I own HabboRadio and we only manage to get around 20-25, We only managed to get over 30+ once. As for forum fansites, I find them more popular, habboradioforum for instance has 155 members, and most of which visit the forum on a daily basis.

shah of course, I hate it when people make fan sites what are basically just a copy of a more successful thing. Everything I do i try to make original.

Wouldn't just be your bog standard fan site ;)
