IS FAILING.
(yes, it's that thread again).

Okay, so exam season is over and habbo is muted which leaves us with habboxforum and habboxlive. The forum activity is picking up but the radio stats are not. Why is this? There are 168 hours each week of which each DJ has to commit only three. Is it really that difficult? You have... what? 30-40 DJs? It seems that only half of those have hit their minimums for this week. Have you SEEN the timetable for this weekend...

Brilliant. Also a note on weekly shows... or lack thereof:

http://i49.tinypic.com/2cd93xe.png

Can we get an update on this soon? More perm shows!!! That's where the big listener bases come from in my experience.

During the habbox olympics (thanks again to all those involved :) ) some DJs made use of that extra medal-hungry userbase to boost their listeners. I don't see why this can't be the case for all events. If you're DJing and there's an event on you should take the party there, not open up your own separate party room. Think about joining forces every now and again, it's quite clear that it works.

Inactive DJs who aren't currently posted away should receive the appropriate warnings as they would if they were inactive in any other department. Sort it out please :) Make sure each DJ has AT LEAST one slot a week or they should just be fired. As a head/senior DJs you'd think that dj rain guy and jessy would dj a little more... or at all... literally never heard of them.

Thanks to everybody who actually is dedicating their time and effort into keeping the radio alive (albeit for only half of the week and by streaming rather than properly presenting a lot of the time) 20 listeners is good enough considering the circumstances and I'm sure that it'll pick up a little when the mute is lifted but I'm also sure that you'll agree that a little variety is needed. Don't put it down to recent events either because the downward spiral of complete and utter failure started long before the mute on habbo.

Really wanna see the radio get back on its feet as it's one of the last habbo radios out there and would be a shame to let it drift into oblivion like some others seem to have done.

i agree but i hate streaming too, whats the point in becoming a dj if you just line up songs and don't talk

Totally agree with everything said here.

Each Monday, any DJ who has failed to meet their minimum and/or have failed to pre-book one slot receive a warning. Quite a few DJ's were dismissed yesterday mainly due to inactivity and many more DJ's are on their final warning.

[Inseriousity.]

Habbox management are having a crackdown on staff who are only there for the title and not the work they volunteered to do. A clearout of the events department was recently done after the fiasco start to the hx olympics with the same hosts hosting. This got their butts in gear (in the end only 4 were removed) and I'm sure you can agree seeing as your team went to pretty much all of them that there was a bit more variety of hosts after the first few days. So I disagree that we are becoming laid back with staff. If anything, we've went in the opposite direction and I am trying to crack down on the culture of managers going through the warning system and instead just firing straight away. My argument being that I'd rather have a group of 10 being active than a group of 20 with 10 inactive (or do the odd thing here and there)

As for HxL itself, the department is definitely struggling atm. I am confident however that it is aware of these very issues as they have been talked about at length with me and that steps are being taken to try and sort out the issues, some of which are very deep problems and can't just be resolved by simply firing the inactive staff. I do think that habbo radios in general needs something more unique that hasn't been done before to revive itself and possibly even the whole Habbox site in general. Easier said than done though but we'll keep thinking! Rest assured, we will not go down without a fight!

[Samantha]

Yeah the crack down occurred in news too.

Also loving the spelling mistake on the front page? Someone should get that sorted out as it rarely gets updated.

I agree though, yesterday I believe it was I went on Habbox.com for News and found the radio offline? It was only 21:40, come on that's peak time near enough as many who have school go to bed near 10pm I believe - the weekend timetable is attrocious and everytime I've tuned in this week or during the Habbox Olympics near enough was Jas and I tuned into Woodsy too. Never heard of anyone else - oh BOOMitsGINA was on my bad too.

As Kyle said there are loads of DJs and I know that there are things being done about HxL at the moment so hopefully it will improve.

Hey, why not have an after mute party tomorrow seeing as it's rumoured to be happening then? I bet that could get busy, offer competitions and just feel free that you can talk again!

[sex]

can you have a habbox party room instead of sending them to the help desk.
the current help desk is so ugly :'(

Atrocious* I'm kidding :(.

Oh God I have to comment now:

Yeah I rarely tune in and don't have a working mic/a nice voice so I wouldn't dj at this point in life but that weekend timetable... is absolutely dreadful. And as Samanfa said, I rarely see DJs apart from Jas, Gina and someone else I forgot lala. If stuff is being done (and I hope it is aha) then it better be something jaw-dropping ;)

Don't we have that HxHD room competition... or is that like stopped or whatever? The current one is too spring-y.

It’s good to see Management dealing with the issue of poor team work, after all if HxL is to become successful again then every member of that team needs to play their part.

I rarely listen to HxL, but I am quite fortunate to be able to listen to the radio whilst working in the real world. I listen to 2 stations, both of which offer something unique.

I did make a suggestion to Remelkiid, one I didn’t wish to make public, as I didn’t want the idea to be stolen, so I hope you don’t mind me asking, but what regular radio shows are hosted?

What do they have to offer?

According to the list on HabboxLive there aren't any? I'm not sure if any will come in the near future but they could do with it.

At the moment we have the Friday Night Quiz where listeners can call in and take part in a quiz to win furni on Habbo. We're looking at a new lineup of weekly shows, but Grig; is dealing with that so he's probably better placed to talk about that than me.

In regards to the idea you sent to me, it's a great idea and it's something that we are looking at. It hasn't been forgotten :P

I think you need to have something every day, and hopefully that will happen eventually, and I am pleased to hear my idea is being considered because I do think it could be successful, if it's executed correctly.

[David]

theres 3 or 4 perm shows coming according to graphics tasks
the lack of air time has been mentioned but ive noticed when its online i only see remelkiid on air.

have more guests on air !!1 was quite fun when i was on with Skynus; and a few others

[Red]

It's pretty shocking atm :( It seems like theres only a few that are making the effort. More permanent shows would be great, as those are the ones that usually get me tuned in. I noticed though that a lot of the time, when a group of djs go on air together, they end up having private conversations between themselves and completely forgetting about the listeners? I found it really irritating and had to tune out.

[MissAlice]

Sorry I didn't notice this, that also needs addressing, the list needs monitoring and updating.

[Richie]

Habboxlive
I totally agree with everything you have said. I don't think presenters are making much of an effort any more. Years ago when we were getting a steady 200 / 300 listeners I was taking it for granted but it definitely made you strive to get the best slots. I mentioned in the habboxlive section about how to timetable is dealt with these days and I disagree with how it is reset. Resetting the timetable at the end of the week is a silly thing to do, it's asking for the timetable to be blank. If it gets reset at the end of every day people will pre-book. I was told this changed due to people complaining about not getting slots, they clearly don't care enough to book. I vote we change it back as the current method doesn't seem to be working as effectively as methods in the past have.

Habboxlives main focus at the moment shouldn't be the listeners, it should be the team overall. The team needs to work together, help one another. I suggest staff members support one another by attending each others party rooms and advertising for one another's show. At the moment everyone just seems to be caring about themselves, their show, their listeners when realistically that's what will kill the radio. When presenters comes off air that shouldn't be the end of their duty's, I'm not saying they must help one another but it should be in the job description because after all we are a community.



Department Teams
I think the whole 'staff of the month' thing should be changed. Everyone knows I have always been a man who believes team play works, sure look at the olympics ;). I suggest every manager asks their staff members if they would like to participate in a team event every month were they work with people from other departments to earn points, give them tasks, it just spices up the job and makes things a little more fun.

For example; Boomitsgina, Red & paige. are randomly paired up into a team for one month alongside a bunch of other randomly drawn teams, their objective is to complete small tasks to earn points. Tasks could be from things such as; getting 20 people to dress up in a green top in the help desk, create a conga-line, max out a room, aiming for a certain amount of listeners and that's just off the top of my head. Habbox wouldn't lose out on prizes as VIP gets given away anyway so it's just a slight change in how and whom it's given out to. Perhaps have the winning team of that month to act somewhat as team leaders, have them matched up with a 6 teams each for example and have them help those teams, monitor the 'completed goals' and in return the team leader who wins the event for that month receives a trophy for good leadership skills and the winning team overall receives the VIP, then the month after that have that winning team become leaders. It's worth thinking about, it would stop boredom, show management leadership skills for future management positions and most of all talk to new people.

I don't know about you guys but for me the departments seem to be just boring these days and it needs a change like this, an ongoing event to keep me active and to bond with new people I usually wouldn't even say hello to.

Also just back to habboxlive, fair play to boomitsgina out of all the presenters she seems to be putting in the most effort and from an outside perspective I believe she deserves to be rewarded.

afaik its mykes job as staff agm for department activities but his steady 1 post per week says it wont happen

That steady 1 post this week could be "Dave is no longer Habbox Staff" :P
HxL has been gone downhill for some time, I think it is coming back it needs more perm shows tho!
Grig has done so well to bring it back, Funny i asked to be Guest DJ and one said they didn't want me and one said no because the other one didn't want me, work it out x

wouldnt be surprised if it was

also shouldnt the attitude be "he might be good for the department lets have him" and not "i dont want him so say no"
or are you just saying they dont want you and there's other reasons

[Samantha]

Richie; problem with that is like, News, Mods, Content and Graphics aren't Community roles, would there be alternatives on the forum perhaps? I know Ben did a challenge in Content and it made the work load increase loads in the break we had, I thought of doing something like this for News and I know Mathew is always making HxHD or HxL team up with Events and creating different things. Not sure what could be done and I don't think staff of the month should be changed as much, why can't it run alongside the idea you gave?

For the departments that don't exactly work alongside the community I'd suggest changing the system for each department so staff are rewarded based on how many tasks they complete. The suggestion above was just aquick idea, I'm sure if all the managers got together to have a chat, ideas on how different departments could work together wouldn't be too hard to brainstorm. I keep referring back to the Olympics because in my opinion it was an event that was extremly successful, non community based departments got involved then so what's to stop it from happening now? For news, staff could earn points similarly to how they did in the olympics, they become active around the main site, reply to news articles and the most constructive replies win points (or something along those lines). In previous years I think one or two habbox presenters attempted to incorporate news flashes in their shows and in my opinion they worked very well. I think it's all about preparation and scripting. News on air would add something extra to the radio because at the moment it's the same old stuff, a few songs, a presenter rambles on and then a few jingles. If news was incorporated into some of these shows (not all of them as it would get tedious) I think it'd made things more interesting. I don't read many news articles on the site but when I do, I notice new updates about the site and other small things that wouldn't even cross my mind but is interesting. Add news flashes to habboxlive and those who usually wouldn't look at articles might find the news updates helpful and visit the actual news page, which would help the news department. If news flashes came back, perhaps you could get someone from your department who is confident but isn't already a presenter to read prepared scripts. I'm not exactly the best at editing but if you wanted they could create the clip then send it over to me and I could edit in a few effects and a nice bed.

I know @Hecktix (http://www.habboxforum.com/member.php?u=31167); and @Nicola (http://www.habboxforum.com/member.php?u=50915); had a forum show on air every two weeks which raked in a lot of listeners from the forum. It was something different and again, it was successful but it just went to the dirt as soon as Nicola and Oli left. Something like that could be brought back. I'm not too sure how habboxlive could add hints of rare values to their shows but it just needs a little brain storming. @Pigperson (http://www.habboxforum.com/member.php?u=41868); is a smart chap and always has good ideas, he'll have something up his sleeve :P. As for content, I don't mean to offend @Zuth (http://www.habboxforum.com/member.php?u=74726); or his department but they will always be the people behind the site that aren't really recognised. Sure we appreciate their work but I don't think the department ever really will be something that could interact with other departments, it will always be a 'back seat' job and I think they know that already. You never know though.

It's all worth a shot. The site needs new ideas to stop boredom. Maybe my idea isn't a greatest but it seems to be the only one being placed on the nordic (which is 2c CHECK RARE VALUES OUT AT www.habbox.com (http://www.habbox.com)). See @Pigperson (http://www.habboxforum.com/member.php?u=41868); I'm even bloody advertising your department ;). Besides, it isn't like habbox is losing out as they give away VIP anyway. What harm is a little trial and maybe error :P if preparation for this is the problem I'm sure management could gather a little committee to plan it and to brainstorm 'challenges' so they don't have too.

Over Christmas the Events dept had like, an in-dept competition,
Where we earned points for events hosted, events hosted in non-GMT times, posts on the forum, suggestions made, stuff like that etc,
I don't know if other departments do it, this was the first time I'd ever seen,
It worked really well, the prizes were good and it was a really good incentive, activity rocketed up dramatically, like, actually cray cray.

Prizes were something like:
1st ~ 3 Months VIP + 50 credits
2nd ~ 2 Months VIP + 20 credits
3rd ~ 1 Months VIP + 10 Credits

And then anyone who hosted like, 5 events got a week VIP or something like that,

It really did work extremely well,
So, it's proven that things like this do work.

[BOOMitsGINA]

Feeling the love with my name.. no but seriously the timetable is soooooooo bad the minimum of slots is 20 a month.. I've passed that within 4 days (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th of this month).. Thats just terrible and I have DJ'ed in every slot.. I have streamed for about 5-10mins in one cos sometimes i need a break so I can go and get food or something.
A lot of people are currently posted away at the moment but everyone knows what they need to achieve it's just a matter of fact to do it.
I have the Friday Night Quiz every friday night from 8-10PM :)

afaik its mykes job as staff agm for department activities but his steady 1 post per week says it wont happen

Right now the amount of complaint PMs I get, playing games is hardly one of my priorities.

[Kyle]

Inseriousity.; I can see that firing a few staff is a good scare tactic in departments such as events but for a failing radio I don't think it's enough. If somebody is reluctant to present on the radio then reducing their staff team is only going to reduce their morale. If there are only 10 staff and no signs of more coming in then the thoughts are likely not going to be 'I had better DJ or I'm going the same way... eek!' but rather 'What's the point?'.

It's good to hear that the problems with the radio are being addressed. I don't think that essentially firing your entire staff team is the best way to go about it, though. If somebody is inactive then the first thing you should be thinking about is contacting them and finding out WHY they're not djing. If there's a valid reason then encourage them to post away to escape the warnings/being fired. A couple of good DJs were let go from the team last week and it's a real shame.

[Inseriousity.]

Conversely you could argue that they'd think 'what's the point' of djing when they see that there are djs who are getting away with doing very little so why shouldn't they do the same. Richie's right, it's about working more as a team rather than as a group of individuals to get the best results. The high turnover that HxL inevitably has makes this more of a challenge for that dept than a small-scale dept like competitions. As for applications, I find that they tend to be a bit of a rollercoaster. Sometimes you get lots, sometimes you hardly get any but in the end it all tends to balance out.

Why are you just streaming Pigperson; it's boring. lol.

[Pigperson]

I do feel HxL isn't the same as it was when there was a 200-300 average amount of listeners but I don't think it is fully the fault of Habbox because before the marketplace a large portion of the listeners were Habbox Rare Values users and that has gone down and I think possibly in shows there is less enthusiasm and innovation which is a problem. But I think events at HxL would be great like themed weeks now and again or something to spice it up rather than just playing the normal songs and doing a comp or two.

I do believe it is a struggle for non-community departments to participate in events and show our face but I will have a think about ideas. I think a new feature would be great and possibly branching out and doing shows on hxl ( Pipette already does an RV-styled weekly news article which is great).

[GoldenMerc]

Find it funny how people are blaming it all on the Habbo downfall, not sure if anyones noticed this but work it out for yourself;
Habbo is making more and more money each year
Recently yes they have sort of zoned out of Habbo fansite's but then again why should they support them?
If anything its the DJ's, the managers fault if a dept starts failing... not much else to say really.

Find people who will devote to the dj'ing job also, not a staff memeber who has a billion other jobs at habbox and just wants another forum to see/usertitle to have. ITS SILLY!!!

habbox dont give away nearly as much furni as they did on their radio shows now, hell i havn't heard a DJ hold a giveaway in the last 6 times ive tuned in (and yes they were for the full shows)

no wonder no one listening

A staff member who has many other jobs could do a DJ job too, it's not fair to alienate them and if they can spread themselves that thing then they deserve a medal for committment not for greed :). I wouldn't wish to dj but kudos to those who do and do well.

Disappeared for a couple of days due to family problems and see this thread. Knew it was coming sooner or later. Yeh, the radio is ****. Very very very **** actually. This is in terms of stats and DJs. We had more on air hours last month compared to previous ones I think, but it's crashed fast in the past week.

I agree, the fact is DJs are half-heartily devoting their time to HxL. Building a base is step numero uno. I have asked around, many older people are uninterested or moved on etc. It by no means should be base camp for new DJs, but we should keep a team.

There are various ways. That includes more on-client stuff, perm shows etc. I am sorting out perm shows, I hope to get a perm show on everyday for an hour or two, including charts, news, win a room etc. That will be announced.

I'll reply to more later.



Find it funny how people are blaming it all on the Habbo downfall, not sure if anyones noticed this but work it out for yourself;
Habbo is making more and more money each year
Recently yes they have sort of zoned out of Habbo fansite's but then again why should they support them?
If anything its the DJ's, the managers fault if a dept starts failing... not much else to say really.

That's wrong. Radio is interlinked with many things. A lot of the reasons why we get listeners in the 100s before was departments helping each-other. Rare values used to be the crown jewel. People would go on and leave the radio on at the same time.

We did have a few before the mute. But logistically, we can do little in terms of solid promotion on-client with the mute. This has caused a slight dwindle to an already dwindled listener population.

[GoldenMerc]

But common Grig you know yourself declining DJ's who can DJ is pretty silly?
Bit off the topic so lets get back ontopic.
Yes correct, in some aspects, what so Habbox thinks they can base everything on one thing? What a silly move! How can you expect to survive through things depending on one thing.

We don't and that's why we are adapting! We are going to shift around a bit and do at least one or two big things on radio per month. It'll be a lot of work, but it's part of a bigger adaptation etc. Many other radios have closed, we are still open and trying to shift into a new vision.

I don't decline great DJs, I welcome them and love to have as many as possible. Every little hand helps :).

edit: Also I agree, staff from Head level down need major sorting out.

Like Sam said, we shouldn't exclude Habbox staff just because they might be too busy as it's not fair.
We really need people who are enthusiastic and excited 'cause they're more likely to do well. Saying that though, there's only about a one in a gazillion chance of finding one of those people :L

Surely people who already work for habbox are the best people to choose as DJs? They've clearly shown that they are committed to the site and, lets be honest, the radio needs all the help that it can get :p

Giveaways are a boring and unimaginative way of gaining listeners but they have worked well in the past. During the olympics the giveaways were locked rooms and only got about 5-10 people in. I realise that the mute played a large part in this but if people can't come in and see what's on offer then it's unlikely that they're going to tune in and wait for a password if there's a chance that the room is just full of pixel furni. Could've been done better!

It isn't really within the remit of a radio DJ to give away their hard earned furni so perhaps they could be allowed a little extra allowance on the forum prize end. @Inseriousity. (http://www.habboxforum.com/member.php?u=26409);

also @RemelKiid (http://www.habboxforum.com/member.php?u=60296); @Maggots (http://www.habboxforum.com/member.php?u=75795); bring back the vault.

We're looking at some new ideas and events that we can push onto the radio. In terms of forum prizes there aren't any quotas anymore so we have been giving away more and more VIP / rep etc that ever before.

The Vault should hopefully be returning for HxSS.

It does but I think it's only ever announced through the habboxlive website. If it isn't already maybe they could create an announcement weekly.

I'm pretty sure the listener of the week is chosen by how many 'votes' they receive from presenters, I could be wrong though.

[Kyle]

I mentioned in the habboxlive section about how to timetable is dealt with these days and I disagree with how it is reset. Resetting the timetable at the end of the week is a silly thing to do, it's asking for the timetable to be blank. If it gets reset at the end of every day people will pre-book. I was told this changed due to people complaining about not getting slots, they clearly don't care enough to book. I vote we change it back as the current method doesn't seem to be working as effectively as methods in the past have.

a point i didn't notice earlier. So the timetable is reset at the end of the week? Surely it should be reset every day so people have a chance to book in advance rather than waiting like 3-5 days, by which time they may have reconsidered. Perhaps RemelKiid; could ask that staff unbook their slots after they are finished DJing to make sure that slots are free for people to book in advance for the next week.

The timetable was set to a weekly reset (Mon-Fri reset on Sat, Sat-Sun reset on Mon) is so that the timetable looks more busy. I'll speak to Grig about perhaps changing it back to a daily reset, however we do have more urgent issues to address.

I realise that you need to address the issues previously stated but one of those is definitely the timetable. It's never going to look busy if nobody wants to DJ, and people will only want to DJ when they feel like booking a slot, which could be at any point of the week. They shouldn't have to wait until the end of the week to book a slot. If busyness is a problem then there is always the option of keeping a public timetable of the current week and a private one for DJs to prebook. can't be that difficult?

I suppose a public/private timetable might be something we could look at. It wouldn't be able to be implemented until V7 is released seeing that the coders aren't modifying any existing code and HxL will be getting a new panel.

[Lee]

For the timetable why don't you use a calendar, that doesn't need resetting? :/

[Richie]

Just to add and I really shouldn't be saying this as the position could go back down the toilet but the guest dj position has brought back some old faces, I wouldn't be surprised if some more old were to return. Have management not questioned why someone would want to come back as a guest dj and not just a regular dj? The only two reasons I can come up with is; guest djs don't need to change their forum names and they're only required to book 3 slots a month. People returned for either of those reasons. Personally I came back for both, I don't want to feel pressured into djing all the time (although I believe I have done more than enough for this month already) and I like my name on the forum.

Perhaps people feel coming back as a regular dj is going to be a bit too much work. I have more than 3 hours available through out the week but I still don't want habboxlive to feel like a chore. I don't want to be tied down with commitments 'you MUST do x amount of slots', it's voluntary work, although I would probably do more than 3 hours a week as a regular dj I don't like the feeling that I HAVE to. I never understood why there was a cap on how many members could be in a certain department, surely having 60 odd djs with different personality's that dj now and then is better than having the same consistent and some would argue 'boring' five or six.

Before people start comparing habbox to real life voluntary work, a lot of places don't actually have x requirements a week / month. Obviously if someone doesn't show their face for weeks upon weeks, strike them off the list. People come on here for fun, they 'work' for fun. In reality people do voluntary work for different reasons but for mainly to have a nice big lump of text about charity work on their cv. I'm not saying BANISH THE REQUIREMENTS ENTIRELY I'm just suggesting more leeway is given, everything doesn't need to go by the books. Use your discretion. Eliminating the required slots or lowering them for positions like guest dj makes me feel more inclined to dj, I feel like I'm doing it for fun, for to entertain others not because someone told me I have to. I believe if more leeway was given more people would want to go on air as they don't feel pressurized or maybe that's just me :P

The real question you guys need to be asking is why more people want to come back as guest djs and not regular djs.

[Inseriousity.]

There isn't a cap on department staff limits anymore. We trust managers to be sensible and not go OTT.

When people apply, they apply under the full knowledge that there are requirements they must comply with. Leeway is often given. No-one is automatically fired if they do not meet these requirements. There are some people who could argue that perhaps it needs to be stricter. There are people as I type this who have got away with doing only 5 events last month when others have done 30 and the same numbers can probably be applied to HxL slots. I do not think it would be practical to have a situation that you have endorsed above as the working model. It would make it more difficult I think to build up a team camadarie(sp) that is needed, I believe, for the department to re-emerge from the ashes. :)

As for why people are coming back as guest djs and not regular djs is simply because you are in the betwixt and between stage. You see yourself as too old to be fully committed to a volunteer position on a habbo fansite but still want to help out where you can. It is I think a little sad that this is required as back when I was a young teenager, it used to be the height of cool to be a radio DJ on a popular fansite like HabboxLive, ClubHabbo or ThinkHabbo. I think this is no longer the case but I do believe firmly in the value of Habbo radios and also believe that there is the audience out there who would be interested, they just aren't being reached at this moment in time.

[Mathew]

I haven't read the large majority of the thread so I'm not sure if it's related... but I think there's enough Guest DJs now. I thought it was enough before, but a further two have been added today and I think there's the danger of its exclusivity being weakened. I feel the position should be an honour for older DJs who contributed a lot in the past yet no longer listen frequently. Richie and Luce are both good examples of this - people who flick between fansites or those who are young enough to meet the requirement should be regular staff. People will tune in if they know an old DJ has come back for an exclusive show; this won't be the case if half the team is given the prestige. :)

[GoldenMerc]

but none of the guest dj's are even like the old guest djs
Guest DJ's should replicate what it used to replicate, them being a guest on Habbox.
Such as Mizki, Barkseh they should be guest DJ's... But as usual RemelKid knows best so what ever i guess, Hope Matt see's right soon and sorts it out himself or atleast changes Grig to manager, that would help ;)

[scott]

I've not really paid very much attention to habboxlive recently so I don't know a huge amount as to what is happening. I wasn't aware of the change in the timetable reset and I think that changing it to reset at the end of a week is a bad idea, you want djs to prebook and I think they will be much more inclined to prebook slots if the timetable was cleared after a day, I don't really see the issue that it was changed to once a week anyway, if the djs were booking properly then it wouldn't be a case of 'to make the timetable look busier'. I havenoticed that a few djs have been removed from the team and it is good to see that staff who are not willing to pull their right within the department and help improve habboxlive have been removed from the team, hopefully that is something that you continue.

weekly shows are something that helps attract a fan base to the site more so than just a normal show so I do think that y ou need a lot more than one, although stuff like an hour dedicated to rihanna or a specific artist is definitely something I would steer well clear of. A few good weekly show ideas I remember are like, boys v girls, chart shows (not just pop but rock, dance etc.) these are things that attract listeners in for they shows and then also attracts them into the site which will bring them onto habbox(live) more.

What I see from looking through the staff forums is that there isn't a tem atmosphere at all, and that's something that isn't helping the decline in the site I do think that once you ave a good team then that is the time that the listeners, site and team atmosphere will start to improve, that goes back to people who aren't pulling their weight no longer being kept on the team. I remember when I started at habboxlive a long long time ago I'm sure @Grig (http://www.habboxforum.com/member.php?u=8106); will remember it just felt like it was a huge family and everybody helped each other out and it was just s great atmosphere which I think then helped us get on to make habboxlive better, I do however doubt that habboxlive will ever be like that again.

I became a guest dj because I don't have enough time in a week to commit to being. regular dj, I do think though that you should start to watch you don't star taking on too many guest djs as it will start to become a bit ott.

excuse mistakes wrote on my iPad and half the time it has a mind of its own

Erm, if you could get in touch with Mizki or Barkseh then we'd be more than happy for them to become guest dj's. Before we appoint any guest dj I speak to Grig; and he has to agree.

If you have suggestions then go ahead and give them, but I'm getting pretty sick of you criticizing me when you've never been in the department I manage to understand how the department is ran. Grig has equal say in terms of staffing.

[Mathew]

you want djs to prebook
I think precooking would have been easier to sort out.. ;)

Is there any evidence that weekly shows actually increase listeners? I haven't really tuned into HxL for years so I have no idea who the staff or shows are anymore. I used to know about the weekly shows but now they appear to be given to anyone who asks and it's not really the most well-known individuals who get them. Perhaps that's just because there's a general lack of staff posting anyway... and indeed that's a debate for another thread. I do question the extent to which weekly shows increase listeners though, or whether it's just something that sounds good on paper. Would be kinda cool to see a graph or something! :D

Yes listeners do rise, I do the FNQ (Friday night quiz) and the listeners do go up. Sometimes they stay around the same amount as the previous shows but I try to make the quiz as fun as possible just like my other slots.
Honestly I think we need more weekly shows like previously stated. :P

Getting in touch with them and giving them guest dj would just emphasise more that you've got too many, I thought you said that you would offer it to those who were professional radio djs or ex HabboxLive management, your list isn't that at the moment in all honesty. You also have to consider why can't they do 3 hours per week, have they given good reasons not to or do you just like them or something?

Like I said myself and Grig have an in-depth discussion about each DJ before we invite them to become a Guest DJ. Perhaps "professional DJ" isn't the term we should have used. Many people have been in touch about becoming a Guest DJ and the majority of them have been declined. At the moment we're offering the Guest DJ position to ex-HabboxLive management, DJ's who's quality exceeds the average of HabboxLive's quality or any other circumstances which we mutually feel acceptable. For example Sam and Wiki have returned to HabboxLive as Guest DJ's to host a special perm show.

I'd never hire someone just because I like them, I'd hire them if they met the requirements to be a (Guest) DJ.

In terms of both of them they both come onto the site, so PM them? But Guest DJ's should be for e-famous Habbos, such as those two, who have also contributed a hell of a lot to HabboxLive.

It appears to me that you're trying to pass the buck here. If you don't agree that somebody should become a guest DJ then I'm sure you shouldn't find it too hard to dissuade him from hiring them. RemelKiid; is saying it's a joint decision and you're saying that it's essentially down to him. Which is it to be? IMO an assistant manager should have a relatively level amount of power to a manager which certainly doesn't appear to be the case in this situation. Even some of the lower DJs appear to have more influence than you.

I agree that the amount of guest DJs should be capped. Only DJs that have made an outstanding contribution to habboxlive should be allowed to return as guests - the founding fathers (mizki, etc.), past management and people who have been djing for quite a substantial amount of time to make such an impact. I don't understand why two DJs have returned as guests in order to host a perm show? Why couldn't they just return as normal DJs?

Also, guest DJs shouldn't have any required hours at all.

I'd love to post what i got after asking Grig if i could be a Guest DJ, but its called a private message for a reason 8-)

I don't think I've hired a single Guest DJ without consulting you any I know you hand initial concerns about Sam & Wiki rejoining as Guests but after you found out that they're hosting a perm show I believe you told me that we needed extra people, and that we should go for it.

[Grig]

What? I said, I am not overly concerned about Guest DJs atm, so let Logan make the final decision, although I raised those concerns for consideration as said yeh whatever we are in desperate times :P.

Got more pressing concerns atm to deal with!!!

[Samantha]

I'd love to post what i got after asking Grig if i could be a Guest DJ, but its called a private message for a reason 8-)
but i get the sort of idea that RemelKid does what he wants lol...
Mathew; posted Private Message you can too. Jks.

Also I agree with Kyle; really, say the perm show was going to be on for 2 hours per week, they only need 1 more hour for the required amount.

However, Kyle I believe there was a minimum hours for guests due to previous ones slacking off.

My main concern was, that we are hiring too many people who really don't get the dedication factor as such.

But, didn't mind extensively due to needing some buffer atm.

How can you slack off from a department where you are asked to DJ as a GUEST? I think they need to worry about their actual DJs slacking off.

One of the most common replies in this thread I've seen is "there's more pressing issues we have to deal with!!!!". I think you guys need to realise that every factor needs to be dealt with equally or it's just not going to work. It's like repairing a sinking ship full of holes by only patching up one hole at a time... I realise you don't have the man (and in some cases brain) power so it's essential that you prioritize but please don't make the mistake of labelling something as 'not important', putting it at the bottom of the pile and then forgetting about it.

DJ's who are slacking get fired. I'd rather have a team of Guest DJ's who can contribute towards the department (albeit if it isn't as much as regular DJ's) than no Guest's at all.

I also agree with that, everything needs to be done at some point and you need to bide the time you have equally, take into account away time of managers and such and then work on it when you can but remember you're both part of the team thus at least should be near equal. I remember when I was an assistant and felt lower and didn't really know what to do but saying that I was told not to do things and it shouldn't work like that - you need more communication too I think as you've missed it somewhere as some agree and some disagree.

[BOOMitsGINA]

Honestly I think the guest dj's are fine.. yeah there is a bit to much but honestly if they are the ones to contribute mroe then so be it. If it's going to let me have a break of how many slots I did last week I dont care LOL
You guys should also look at the timetable.. I think that is the biggest problem right now. Look at how empty it is, I have to make a rant thread the other day about it. I did 35 hours last week which I am proper raging about so let me just say one thing. Some DJ's are actually dedicated to habbox not all of us are being lazy. Also some of us are trying to solve the problems so please guys don't think we aren't doing anything. Just my opinion, I'm sure Logan is trying to do his best and I'm sure Grig is trying to do his best so please don't go saying they are doing everything wrong. Thats what this feedback is for, it is to help see your opinions which everyone respects but don't go all overboard with it.

Knew there was a reason why you shouldn't taken people serious who have "BOOMits" in names...
Never the less feedback is to state opinions, some are going to say HabboxLive is on the up, some will also state its going down, ether way lets be honest at the current rate its defiantly not doing amazing is it? No ones saying Grig is doing anything, its the opposite way round if you read the entire thread.

[Inseriousity.]

You're all being remotely unfair on Guest DJs. Yes I'm sure it'd be great if Mizki could return and perhaps sing another song like "Oh what a noob" but let's be realistic. In terms of hx history, these people are ancient. Gone. They have moved on to bigger and better things (called 'adulthood'). While they visit now and again, the visits are generally just fleeting visits, a few posts here and there. It'd be like expecting Sierk to come back as an active owner again. We need staff who are still around. Personally I find the role of guest dj a rather desperate situation to be in but desperate times can call for desperate measures.

What is more realistic is that people who still have time to spare but don't want the full committment that a regular role entails would be a guest dj. Perhaps they do not have the wealth of experience that Mizki has but they are also around.

[Kyle]

In which case perhaps you should consider applying the same rules you have for guest DJs to your normal DJs as it appears to work well, then you'll be able to keep the Guest DJ role as exclusive as it should be with no trouble. :)

[GoldenMerc]

So now your stating HabboxLive shouldn't i guess hope that people who actually could lead a department and push a team into a full 24/7 radio station should return? If so how do you hope HxL to get any better.

Hopefully they can find some decent DJ's ;)

[Samantha]

I think a rewrite of what is required to become Guest DJ is needed as I think some believe it's something when it's another. I still believe you need to consider why they can't commit. Like I said earlier if they flit from fansite to fansite and you just let them back you're giving into them. I remember before when Garion went to CH we got told he wouldn't be able to return due to it, why not accept that for all roles?

Revamping the structure and allowing Guest DJs is fine but remember they only need to do 3 slots per month, that doesn't solve your timetable problem.

[Inseriousity.]

I don't hope, you can only work with what you've got. You can't just hope that someone will ride in to save the day cos it's highly unlikely going to happen. Similar to just hoping the bills will go away, that perhaps you'll win the lottery and everything will be better. You can live in fairytale land, I won't.

The Senior and Head DJ positions are for those individuals who contribute more. The Guest DJ should not be part of the regular promotion system of DJ > Senior > Head - it should be an exclusive honour, not for those people who still frequently use the radio.

Although I should add, I quite enjoyed listening to your show whilst in @:odey: (http://www.habboxforum.com/member.php?u=37924);'s event. It reminded me of the old days when I'd join hundreds of others in an attempt to win a tubmaster from the DJ. People in the event seemed to like it, and the room filled up pretty nicely once you started advertising. Thanks! :)

[Samantha]

Yeah in a way it's a pity BOOMitsGINA; isn't a head DJ to get people into line more (I mean along the lines of warning a such) 35 hours in a week was it? That's over a fifth of the slots available which shows how many weren't filled up. If only the others had dedication like that. Although you will fight for HxL to the death you need to consider that feedback whether good or bad can be a good thing anyway too :D!

(At least I think that's where he is coming from) it defeats the purpose of bringing back old faces in attempt to help the radio. I'm not being bias, maybe the role is a little misleading and without sounding like a big headed **** I believe the other guest djs & myself have put in a lot of effort in the past to attain the guest dj position. What do you guys want habboxlive to do? rename the position because we aren't 'guests'? We may not be guests to other parts of the site i.e forum / habbo but if we aren't on the radio every other day surely that is considered a guest? My only concern is when you have more guest djs than regular / international djs it makes the staff positions look sloppy and misleading.

Rename it to "People who cba DJing for a Habbo Radio" for all i care? Guest DJ's used to mean people who were in management or high category's of Habbox at one point, Maybe just a change of the name would help idk. Just think its a silly role now.

[Kyle]

imo guest DJ should be like the habbox merit award on the forum. the guest dj position atm seems to be more suited to the name 'part time dj'.

What's the point? We would be lucky to see someone like mizki on the radio at least once in a year, if she wanted to dj that bad I'm sure she knows she could easily contact management and ask could she go on air. Having a bunch of names on the main site who you would never see just takes up unnecessary space.

I was thinking that but a regular dj isn't exactly a full time dj so it would just result in a full revamp in titles which is just a waste of time to satisfy one or two people.

[Inseriousity.]

The difference between the Habbox Merit award and guest dj is that it doesn't matter if those with habbox merit don't come online at all because they've still earnt it whereas guest djs need to actually dj or they are pointless. Now perhaps there is an argument to be had about the exclusivity of the position but to suggest that they haven't earned their stripes merely because they've never been higher than say head dj is absurd imo.

well yes that's a fair enough point but their actual job role needs to be clarified properly I think.

I think adzeh's post in the thread above pretty much confirms the collective thoughts on allowing people like mizki access to the guest DJ role. Perhaps a Hall of Fame type thing could be added instead?

I'd imagine because they didn't ever go on air. The guest position was there for years and neither of those made an appearance so they aren't exactly a guest. I think all positions are fine, if you want mizki to come back so bad I'm sure they could introduce a 'special guest' position, which would be more appropriate.

[GoldenMerc]

Guest DJ used to be for people like that, thats what im stating...

[JerseySafety]

It appears to me that you're trying to pass the buck here. If you don't agree that somebody should become a guest DJ then I'm sure you shouldn't find it too hard to dissuade him from hiring them. @RemelKiid (http://www.habboxforum.com/member.php?u=60296); is saying it's a joint decision and you're saying that it's essentially down to him. Which is it to be? IMO an assistant manager should have a relatively level amount of power to a manager which certainly doesn't appear to be the case in this situation. Even some of the lower DJs appear to have more influence than you.

I agree that the amount of guest DJs should be capped. Only DJs that have made an outstanding contribution to habboxlive should be allowed to return as guests - the founding fathers (mizki, etc.), past management and people who have been djing for quite a substantial amount of time to make such an impact. I don't understand why two DJs have returned as guests in order to host a perm show? Why couldn't they just return as normal DJs?

Also, guest DJs shouldn't have any required hours at all.

Thanks. Exactly what I was trying to say RemelKiid; why are they so special compared to other DJs' that they can return to do a perm show? Nothing, my point exactly. I don't hate the DJs' but the criteria to become a Guest DJ is absolute ******** tbh.

- You're an ex-HabboxLive manager - fair enough.
- The quality of your DJ'ing exceeds the average quality of HabboxLive's - who's the one to judge the quality, could just pick friends, like seriously..
- Any other circumstances that HabboxLive Management feel adequate. - hosting a perm show is an adequate reason to hire 2 guest DJs, ok.. wait or is it friends again? Either way..

Guest DJ role isn't getting off to a good start. Should be ex-HabboxLive manager, or agm/gm etc, or if someone has being DJing of exceptional quality for several years and is a 'professional' in someways. Also, maybe you should get more people to approve the Guest DJs' not just HabboxLive manager & assistant [who I hear doesn't really get an input anyway].

Thanks.

guest djs are kinda like freelance/ part-time DJs nowadays, but need to fit a criteria, so not every old fart can get in.

the reason there is a criteria is coz ppl wouldn't dj

the problem is that you're verging on having more active guest djs than you do normal djs. why must a dj who does arguably less work fit a stricter criteria than a normal dj? :S

I really don't understand your reasoning. You seem torn between the two types of guest dj -

-the super special exclusive habbox dj club, only open to those who are considered awesome very limited spots available,
- the not so exclusive club-- well, not even a club-- of people who are only guest djs cos they cant be bothered djing as much as everyone else

pick one and stick with it? if people are only guest djing because they dont have time to be a normal dj, rather than because they were selected to be part on an elite team, then they should just be a regular dj.

Habboxlive isn't about fun anymore. It's about making useless positions and giving them to some randoms [for some of them]. I always tuned into you as well Logan if it was in a decent timezone for me. You are one of the most entertaining DJs when your rap and actually have some fun. habboxlive is going down rapidly with the new manager, hopefully the assistant can come up with some good ways to increase listeners.

[Richie]

Ross, if you can get Logan to let me rap on air, go for it. I am being restricted from Rapping because it "gets rid of listeners." Where do I land in there? I think we should be able to do what we want on air as long as it doesn't break the rules. We need to put the FUN in Habbox. If playing bits of comedy clips is not allowed, we need to change that, and when DJ's "Sing or in my case RAP" they GAIN listeners! Habbo's wanna see DJ's HAVING FUN!

I think this is another case of not knowing who you're entertaining, yourself or the listeners. When I tune into habboxlive and hear someone rapping or singing I tune out. I think djs should leave singing / rapping to actual events like habbox stars.

You were banned from rapping on air by ex-HabboxLive Management because you rapped every show, throughout the show and we had some complaints. I don't mind you doing it once in a while (like the time you asked me if you could do it one off and I said yeah) but every show was excessive :)

Some DJs know how to control it and only do it for a few minutes, but I've heard some DJs that are terrible singers and entertainers and they just ruin it. Logan knows his limits and is a pretty good singer/rapper ;)

[Richie]

Well Ross I think habbox receive more complaints about him rapping than complements. Looks like you'll just have to sit back and wait for habbox stars because I'm sure he's banned from rapping ;) (Thank god)

[Grig]

I love a bit of fun like some singing in a 30 sec clip. Adds to the banter. But nothing long, as that just drives away listeners. As long as it's done well and people like it.

Djs used to play eachother singing all the time, myself included, those were good times :P!

Can't say i've listened to habbox stars, to be fair if i want to listen to music i generally listen to thishabbo or mainly listen to spotify as i guess when i tune into a radio station i expect much, thats why i prefer capital over Radio 1 ;)

Thanks! :) I just do what I can do. I was talking to Lucy the other day and she said "Back in the day, Habbox got 200 listeners AVG." I said "THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN" I wanna see Habbox stay for a long time. 8 years and it's dying down.

There's a difference between a little bit of banter and annoyance lol anytime I see that logand guy advertise habbox it's always something like 'TUNE INTO HABBOX IM ABOUT TO RAP' every other week.. I don't mean to sound like a **** but if anyone is actually laughing it's at him not with him

Yeah, Habbox used to get on average like 70-80 listeners a year or so ago, maybe a bit longer. Going downhill and it's continuing to go downhill, introducing Guest DJs' isn't going to improve anything either. Just make DJs' who are lazy and can't be arsed to do slots get away with it and do what they want. No offence to some of the good DJs' like Lucy & richie and some others.

Yeh but 30 seconds of rapping as grig said im fine with, but any more than 2mins il generally tune out. Same with talking though, someone talking for ages every song annoys me, heck some times i'd rather they only spoke every 30-40 mins, specially the 10 year old voices id ddos the shoutout line so they have no reason to speak haha

I said "if anyone is actually laughing it's at him not with him" you might get one chuckle if you're lucky, the rest just get annoyed. What I'd ask myself is should I entertain one user and annoy the other 30 or just stick to a show that might be half decent.

We had a major push on quality a couple months back and Seniors are definitely posting more feedback on DJ's than before but the Head's haven't been as pro-active with actually composing the feedback to go direct to DJ's. It's being monitored and addressed though.

I would be happy to sort hxstarz and want it to remain an annual summer event. However, I think Logan may disagree with this and is thinking of doing of something else. I don't mind as long as we push through at least one big thing on the radio per month.

yeah, it would be nice to see the event back for summer. it was really good fun and seems like a perfect event for users considering that the majority, if not all of them are on their summer holidays. i know there was another event which logan had in mind but surely that could be hosted the month after? i think boys vs girls would be too much if you're planning on hosting during hxss.

[Alex3213]

Yeah or really awkward double shows

Person 1: "You are tuned into habboxlive.com with me and.. (20secs wait) are you there person 2?"
Person 2: "Hehehe oh sorry was eating my dinner"



STOP BLOODY TROLLING OR HE'LL ASK FOR A FECKING SHOW TO RAP THROUGH, GOD HAVE MERCY.

I haven't seen the thread in excess because the last few pages have had a few posts consisting of rubbish but this post caught my eye.

I've always hated frequent double shows because I know that this time last year, there were people who would simply not DJ without someone else being on. What's going on there, you need babysitting or something?! :P Sometimes I think that double shows are a lazy excuse for that member of staff and I don't know how frequent they are nowadays but they seemed to lose the high standard that other shows had set. It'd be interesting to know how double DJing is done nowadays, do you need permission? Does it still happen? I think it should really be left to special shows or even... weekly shows (I've seen a couple of posts about how they'll be back - they are almost a necessity to HxL because it brings something unique).

HabboxLive have the potential to get back on their feet but I think a sensible approach should be taken and I do hope that's exactly what will be done.

[Calvin]

happy w/ habbox starz unless you want to do gender defender, I know we had a singing comp at xmasI think you're better off going with HxStarz. I remember everyone would take part in that and it would be a great laugh but Boys Vs Girls was just boring, and how are you going to manage if there's a higher ratio of each gender along with people who can't decide on their gender as Ross said?

Logyander for manager.

[Robbie]

[Richie]

LoganD is the reason why Waldo is hiding.


I agree alex, double shows should always be kept for big events. I think the rule should also apply for djs as it would with regular users, they should have to request if they can do double show.

[Mathew]

So apparently HxL loses listeners when Logan raps, yet its perfectly acceptable to host a whole singing competition. HxStarz (or variants thereof) make me cringe most of the time - I don't understand why you'd listen to some wailing kids on a Habbo radio, but if people like it then get on.. :P The reason I dislike them (and the reason I take issue with on-air quizes) is that they exclude so many people. Again, this is only fun if you're actually going to go on air / record yourself and get involved. The wide majority of Habbo users, whom we should be encouraging to sign up, will have no interest whatsoever; and then of course it's a waste of resources when they could be put to much more useful things.

[Calvin]

YOU KNOW IT!!Some Netsky? ;)

And the thing I've always found with HabboxLive is that they're never willing to experiment with playing variety. If you play something different that the listeners are not used to then you'll have the manager or someone saying "TURN THAT OFF!! WE'LL LOSE LISTENERS!!!!" so they're always afraid of losing listeners, rather than taking a little while and gaining more from improving the station, I mean how do you think real radio stations work? They don't ban a certain type of genre just because the listeners don't like it.

I was under the impression this was already happening. In that case I agree, I think that when double DJs these should be requested well in advance, possibly also with a plan of what they are planning to do during the show so it's not all a last minute charade which results in a clumsy, disengaging hour.

I personally think habbox should fire everyone and just have me as manager, assistant manager, head dj, senior dj, regular dj, international dj and guest dj


oh btw why have people been calling uk djs regular djs all these years? are international djs irregular?

[Grig]

let robbie dj

don't ask me brah

As for double djing shows. If they are perm shows, which are planned weekly, then I'm all for it. There is sometimes some good banter and if presenters have chemistry then I see why not.

We don't tend to have a double DJing on a regular basis problem anymore though :).

That's good news. I do stand by what I say though, I think especially for these types of shows there should be a plan ready to show the manager, something which can even be whipped up in 2 and a half minutes. I'm sure this is done by the DJ anyway (or at least I'd hope so, otherwise that's another issue) when it's ready for a big event but giving the plan to you means that you can suggest any improvements to make the show even better and avoid any potential problems.

Thought I'd make an apperance with my thoughts:

Firstly I think that the people making digs at Logan's work are a little bit foolish, considering pretty much none of you know the amount of work Logan actually puts into Habboxlive. Yeah Logan makes mistakes like I, you and everybody does but at least Logan accepts it and tries to improve Habboxlive for the better and tbh hes doing a pretty fine job of it where I'm standing. For example hes given more responsibility to us head DJ's so we feel more a part of the goings on, hes improved the panel overall, he implemented the 'DJ of the Week' system and hes done so much more stuff. Overall I think that Logan is an excellent member of management and I'm proud to be working 'for' him. Nuff said about that.


Now, the guest DJ's need some fine tweeking and I do agree with what your saying about certain DJ's getting accepted into this category. I think that there needs to be a stricter ruling on who is let into this group, and also a minimum for guest DJ should be taken away in my opinion. The timeable I think also should go back to daily resetting, it was much easier to moderate and edit monthly totals/prebooks beforehand and yeah it makes the timetable look more full, but its annoying when it comes to prebooking. These are two points that I know that Logan/Grig have taken into consideration already from his previous posts.

I think the comments made about Logan D's 'rapping' are pretty useless/pointless. Me personally have tuned in before when a DJ has sung or rap really badly everyday and I had to mute my radio. The majority of the time these kinds of thing causes listeners to tune out if done over and over and over.

[Robbie]

what bitrate is the radio? i just compared hxl and thishabbo, and thishabbo sounded better but maybe it was just me.

Totally agree with all of this!!
I think people don't actually understand how much work Logan has put into this. If I could I would let everyone see the habboxlive part of the forums just so you could see how much work is put into everything overall.
I think the timetable should be reset daily because it gives people the urge to book because everyone is like 'argh I want this slot!' well.. that's what I was like ;)
Guys look can we stop with all the ****** comments and act like a team none of this blah blah for manager WOO! That's so dramatic and trust me causing drama gets you nowhere. ACT LIKE A TEAM GUYS. I know this a feedback thread but polite messages get you somewhere not disrespectful comments on peoples usernames or how you THINK someone is working.

So look lets just cool it please?

[iLogan]

Some Netsky? ;)

And the thing I've always found with HabboxLive is that they're never willing to experiment with playing variety. If you play something different that the listeners are not used to then you'll have the manager or someone saying "TURN THAT OFF!! WE'LL LOSE LISTENERS!!!!" so they're always afraid of losing listeners, rather than taking a little while and gaining more from improving the station, I mean how do you think real radio stations work? They don't ban a certain type of genre just because the listeners don't like it.

I wouldn't say this happens at all at HabboxLive anymore (management telling DJ's to turn off songs). DJ's are encouraged to play a variety of songs. On the panel homepage there's a link specifically to a special thread in the HabboxLive staff forums dedicated to listing a good variety of songs recommended for DJ's to download. If it's flagged up by the senior team that a DJ is playing only one genre etc then this does get addressed in feedback PM's etc.

[Samantha]

In all honesty right, a lot of staff will defend their manager through thick or thin. Whoever 'manages' you, you will always say 'you don't know how much work they do behind the scenes' but you all said that with Jess too and look where she ended up. I'm not saying Logan doesn't do work but you say we need to cool it when some of you are so oblivious to what is going on as you look upto him too much. I believe Logan has done wonders for HabboxLive so far and I'm sure he will continue to do so, but this is a feedback thread and we're allowed our opinions, yes you are allowed yours but really you say we don't know how much work goes into it when we're the listeners are we're giving you the feedback - don't tell us to cool it or stop, you need to listen to views. I don't agree with people putting Logan down for all he's worth I don't give that to any manager or any member and I know I wouldn't expect it either. However, I feel when Gina said cool it I think both sides do. We'll see in the long run what's going to happen won't we? We all know though that something will always be wrong, something will always get you a negative response but you have to look at what's best for a department, not what you want. Change is good, change has to happen and I'm sure like I said we'll realise it was for the best in the long run.

I think it's great that Logan is an active manager too, he's there when you need him!

[OllzIsTasty]

It is much harder nowadays to grab listeners in with a lot of fansites which are popular. Habbo doesn't support fansites as much as they used to.

Fansites are dieing overall.

As nice as it is to see a DJ actually taking time to construct a reply, a lot of this is completely useless. I'm sure we are all aware of how hard he works - as any manager should - but it isn't just him that has to help out. The purpose of this thread was to highlight a few of the problems with habboxlive and effectively check up on what is actually being done to combat them. So far some of the issues being brought up in the thread (timetabling and guest DJs in particular) appear to have been brushed off as 'not as important' which isn't looking promising. What I'd really like to know is what is more important than tackling some of the issues brought up in the feedback thread instead of going off and doing your own thing.

Good for him, he make a new panel. Looks like just a way of busying himself with pointless tasks from where I'm standing. The panel worked before, the way timetables were reset worked before too. Why fix what isn't broken? As for the DJ of the week thing, isn't that for all staff lol just every month? Probably better to stick to each month as, with your current staff team, it's going to be the same faces every week.

You say you work "'for'" him. Shouldn't you (and all other DJs) work WITH him? You're a team after all. From my perspective, it has always appeared that he does his own thing and only helps those in his friendship group - otherwise known as senior/head DJs :$ - those lower down don't ever really seem to get a look in.

I agree with you on the singing front though, it's never really necessary and, whilst a couple may tune in for a laugh, it grates after a while. Steer well clear.

All concerns to do with the radio have been flagged and will be thoroughly be discussed. In terms of friendship groups at HabboxLive. I'm not going to lie - I am friends with quite a few members of the Senior and Head team however that'd be down to me starting off with those guys as a trialist DJ and then getting to know them as we all proceeded as Seniors and Heads etc. I'd never let friendship affect HabboxLive issues or business though. I deal with each staff member the same irregardless to whether I'm friends with them or not.

Well that's just not true is it. I'm pretty sure you're friends with this DJ rain fella who has been inactive for god knows how long and hasn't been fired yet. :O ?

Why should it be different rules for one member of your team and a different set for another? If your inactive, you shouldn't be on the team and fired/resign until you are able to do least meet the min amount of hours.

[Samantha]

So how long hasn't DJ Rain djed? I never noticed myself but then again I don't tune in much.

[iLogan]

Why should it be different rules for one member of your team and a different set for another? If your inactive, you shouldn't be on the team and fired/resign until you are able to do least meet the min amount of hours.

The rules are the same for everyone at HabboxLive. I'm not going to discuss individual DJ's or their circumstances. Just because you don't see someone on air doesn't mean that they're inactive. If a DJ fails to reach their minimums they're warned unless they have posted away or have left myself and Grig know of some personal circumstance which means they're unable to go on air for a certain period of time.

You know if it goes over 3 weeks and no one has heard her DJ they're just going to assume she's getting special treatment regardless of whether she has been granted extended leave or not. If that is the case then I feel only a month should be given for it and if not then any person can resign (not just a DJ but anyone). Not saying that she is away or not but people keep bringing her up as she is a head and thus should be more active - Jazz and Kristy are the heads aren't they? So if only one is active when you have about 40 in the department I would begin to worry. Saying that is Jazz active? I don't mean just in Djing dw :P.

Jazz is currently completely posted away and Kris is on reduced activity on terms of slots. Kris is currently doing everything within her role to full capacity apart from going on air

[Samantha]

So technically that means she is posted away to an extent, ok then :3.

[Mathew]

Staff members can post away for 3 weeks and must contact General Management if they require longer in the most exceptional circumstances. I'm sure Logan is aware of the rules and GM will follow it up if they haven't been notified.

[Red]

Well going on air is the main part of the job :S If you are able to carry out senior duties, then why not dj? So if any dj comes to you, having personal issues, they are allowed to get away with not djing for how ever many months? At hxhd it is a month and then you are asked to come back when you are able to devote the time. I thought that would apply to the radio too.

[iLogan]

So technically that means she is posted away to an extent, ok then :3.

No, she hasn't posted away. The targets and requirements slightly change when a DJ becomes a Head DJ. They're technically managing a group which involves a lot of administrative tasks, their activity on air isn't as regulated as much as Senior DJ's for example (who's target is 20hrs per month on air). However if a Head DJ isn't on air as often as we'd like them to be they will be followed up and whether that Head DJ is my friend or not does not affect that.

The only issue I would assume could be the problem would be laringitis or having tonsils removed, well any oral problem. I think with not doing the main role of the job it's hard to see what they're doing behind the scenes but I do agree. Reiterating the throat point surely she could stream if there's something wrong there? I know we can't go into personal reasons and discussions nor would anyone really want to but she's reading the thread at the moment I think so I'm not sure. You prove a good point though Kirst.

Really? Since when did all this change lol I thought people who have higher roles would be expected to be on air a little more. As far as I'm aware it works like that for other departments too.

Yeah I understand that it's like telling a Head Rare Values Reporter to do a report when they update but they are still required to do work. Regardless of what role they have they could and should be on air, if not what's the point in Djing? If there is a real problem then fine.

Richie; in Rare Values I know Heads do a lot more than Experts or normal staff and in News everyone does the same amount of reports (Heads do the editing, staff bonding and such too) so I believe that they do more there. I think in Events it's different Mathew; may help there but I can only go on the departments I'm in. I remember having a chat with Mike and he said that heads and managers should really do more than the normal staff and after changing news to form this I agree with you too.

I am not active at the moment as Logan says I'm posted away on personal grounds (the same as I am from news), but when I return I personally have some changes to make of my own to the way I deal with group 1 staff, I will post later with what I'm going to do to change the way I head up group 1's and open it to feedback. If anyone has some suggestions for me aswell in regards to my position I would much appreciate it :-)

Oh it wasn't that I just didn't know if you were active in one and not the other, completely fine and I know you will ask Matt or Mike if you require extended leave.

So how long hasn't DJ Rain djed? I never noticed myself but then again I don't tune in much.
I haven't had the chance to DJ as much as I've wanted to, because of certain problems I've been having to deal with for a little bit, but this doesn't necessarily mean that I'm not keeping up with other things throughout the department. Just recently I've gotten better news, on how I'll be able to DJ a lot more now, but as I said..I have been keeping up with other duties when it comes to Head DJs. I have noticed myself that I haven't DJ'ed in a while, which is exactly why changes were recently done, and I should be able to DJ/stream more now.

Putting the friendship aspect aside for a moment, I don't believe that 'administrative duties' constitute as being an active member of staff. As a group leader, you'd expect that they would be setting an example by performing the duties that they are tasked with encouraging others to perform. No?

Since one of the most paramount concerns surrounding the radio at the moment is DJ inactivity you really need to reconsider the fact that you're letting off somebody who is supposed to set an example to those beneath them. If you can't (be bothered to) DJ then post away.

[Samantha]

I believe the department may need an extra Head DJ, acting at least. I know that may in the pipeline but from where I am that's how it looks.

I just looked at the seniors in the events department (I don't think there's a head position so it's as equal I suppose) and the two seniors smurfed- and amy- did tonnes of events during the habbox olympics so I don't think things like duties from 'lower' roles should be more lenient as it is part of there duties, it's just more of a work load and that should go for all departments if it isn't already.

[BOOMitsGINA]

Well me speaking as a Senior we do a lot more than just DJ 20 hours a month (Think I passed that part of the role LOOL on my 42nd Woop). Anywho we have targets to achieve each week and by the end of the month we need to have done a certain of tasks altogether :) So can be quite tough at times haha xD Just letting you guys know incase you didn't think we did much, that's the reason we only need to do a minimum of 20 slots.

[Red]

People in higher positions should be prepared to work harder, not have less to do. :S Thats really insulting to the people lower down the scale who are working their butts off and putting loads of hours in. Posting away is understandable and going to happen but I don't get why hxl seems to have two categories, one for posting away and another for reduced activity?

20 slots is a lot but really that could be broken down into X amount per week as afterall you and many other members want a fuller timetable :P.
Red; stop posting things I agree with lmao! I remember near Christmas or something like that, no it might have been Easter there were a few managers 'away' and Logan was on Reduced Activity, I still believe that if you're on reduced activity depending on your circumstances you can still do the work.

Don't get me wrong Gina you're a lovely girl and do a lot for the department but is it really necessary to add how brilliant you are to every bloody post?

[Mathew]

The four of us in Events Management held 38% of events during the Habbox Olympics which is probably just about our fair share. I don't think it's a matter of enforcing requirements left, right and centre. If you've managed to reach the higher ranks (for lack of a better phrase) then it's clear to see you're rather dedicated and will inevitably do more than is expected of you. It's all about being a role model and generally being an all-round nice person - whether it be hosting events, posting on the forum or adding events to a calendar.

HabboxLive is slowly improving at the moment. Once Logan has gone through the DJ applications I'm sure the radio timetable will look much better. We have had a lot of DJ's leave in the past week including Senior DJ's and Head DJ's. I am sure that in the next couple of weeks, the radio will have vastly improved.

I remember a few years back when HabboxLive worked closely with the events department. I feel if let's say HabboxLive and Habbox Events do this again, it will help out both departments. Bringing in listeners for Live and Habbo's to the events. If I am right, if you was a HabboxLive DJ you were able to see the events staff forums as-well. Correct me if I am wrong.

The four of us in Events Management held 38% of events during the Habbox Olympics which is probably just about our fair share. I don't think it's a matter of enforcing requirements left, right and centre. If you've managed to reach the higher ranks (for lack of a better phrase) then it's clear to see you're rather dedicated and will inevitably do more than is expected of you. It's all about being a role model and generally being an all-round nice person - whether it be hosting events, posting on the forum or adding events to a calendar.

I'm in support of this but like Richie said, I think that for any senior role the minimum for any member of the department should completed, management or not. I know that in comps I always did the amount of comps (sometimes more admittedly) a normal staff would have to do in addition to the managerial side and this should apply for every department.

There used to be the "Requests Forum" which was an additional section for Events Organisers and HxL DJs. It consisted of Events Organisers popping along and posting when their events were being held, so DJs could make a note who was on air at the time and then advertise. Phil and I asked for it removing because I just thought it was pointless - we want all the events advertising, so it shouldn't really be a case of requesting one! I'm not really sure how prompt DJs are when it comes to advertising, but I usually send a shoutout in just to make sure. :)
