Anyone who completes the survey will be entered into a draw to win VIP and I will rep everyone I can.

I hate these threads 'cause they come off as very negative, i'm not hating on the radio, i want to see it gain viewers so don't get offended if you're habboxlive staff, I'm trying to help, not rip your department apart.

Since there has been a manager change, its best bringing this topic up now rather than in a few months, there's no point in blaming a manager later on if you haven't asked for changes. I'm not a part of habboxlive so I may be slightly out of place here but this thread is definitely needed, it's sad to see the department in its current state (in some areas), so I thought i'd make a feedback thread where you could answer a short questionnaire to help management make changes that may improve the radio.

Do you listen to habboxlive? [Yes/No]
Do you listen to other habbo radio stations? [Yes / No]
What does other radio stations have that habboxlive does not have?
Would you tune in if there was more shows dedicated to specific genres that you may enjoy? [Yes / No]
If 'Yes' to the last question, what sort of music genre shows would you like to hear?
If you were to be placed in the management role of this department tomorrow, what would you change?
Would you tune in more often if there was bigger habbo related prizes? [Yes / No]
Would you tune into the station if there was prizes for non-habbo related prizes? (Giftcards etc) [Yes / No]
What does habboxlive lack in?

Do you listen to habboxlive?
Yes

Do you listen to other habbo radio stations?
No, I'd rather support a community that I'm part of, even if the radio is lacking in some areas.

What does other radio stations have that habboxlive does not have?
Recently I have been tuning in to other stations to figure out why they have far more listeners, personally I feel its just the 'community' vibe, i think v7 will be a step in the right direction for habbox. Other stations have the viewers already so they don't lack in motivation, to me, habboxlive staff just seem as if they're 'bored' and it's a chore to dj, then again I haven't listened to all presenters.

Would you tune in if there was more shows dedicated to specific genres that you may enjoy?
Yes

If 'Yes' to the last question, what sort of music genre shows would you like to hear?
R&B / Hip Hop / Rap / Classic hits.

If you were to be placed in the management role of this department tomorrow, what would you change?

Introduce new weekly shows that are genre based to cater for all.
Do monthly competitions for non-habbo related prizes for those who don't play habbo.
Encourage staff members to tune in.
Mingle with other departments, shows like the moderation team take over was quite fun, perhaps try incorporate that with other departments and in return you'll help those departments pull in viewers. For example, have the articles department come on air and talk about upcoming events 'This Valentines Habbo has gone all Japanese crazy' talk about the badges that were released etc. In return habboxlive could host competitions within the content that they submit 'samanfa has posted a good article on the main website about the upcoming valentines habbo badges, can you tell me what the 'white' badge is called' or whatever. Poor example but I'm sure if heads of both managers knocked their heads together, they'd come up with something fantastic.
Sort out microphone issues through teamviewer, it's hard to understand a lot of djs. If they can do it themselves so be it, if they can't assist the through teamviewer.

Would you tune in more often if there was bigger habbo related prizes?
I don't think many people care for habbo furniture anymore but personally, yes, I would.

Would you tune into the station if there was prizes for non-habbo related prizes? (Giftcards etc)
Yes

What does habboxlive lack in?
Enthusiasm, advertising, habbo interaction & humor. Humor is definitely a massive attraction, when me and chicken did prank calls, even though they were horrendous, people got a good laugh out of them and kept them engaged in the show.

Is habboxlive being broadcasted in a church? anytime i hear someone speak (which is somewhat rare) they have a really bad echo on their microphone. Are the presenters having issues with the program or do they just like their microphones sounding church-like?

I've spent a ridiculous amount of hours working on trying to find the best EQ for my microphone over the years, so if it is a problem and you need help with anything, give me a shout.

I decided to have a look at the actual shoutcast stats, might aswell share the links I dug from their code, the unique viewers were recorded just before the thread was posted, please remember it's easy to manipulate unique viewers through proxy scripts (if that desperate).

Probably the strictness of no swearing. Like some words I understand, but words are words, does it matter if someone says a swear word? Granted, if it's aimed at someone in particular then that's an issue, but general should be okay.

Maybe

Do you listen to habboxlive? [Yes/No]
Yes.

Do you listen to other habbo radio stations? [Yes / No]
No. (dedicated habboxer here guys)

What does other radio stations have that habboxlive does not have?
UPBEAT DJS. It shocks me listening to people who sound bored to death with their listeners.. I find a lot of the DJs barely interact with the people tuning in, just saying the generic "let me check the requests... no requests... send them in.. ok." *awkward mumble* ACT LIKE YOU ACTUALLY WANT TO BE ON AIR.

Would you tune in if there was more shows dedicated to specific genres that you may enjoy? [Yes / No]
Yeah, probably as long as it was advertised properly and I knew straight out what it was about.

If 'Yes' to the last question, what sort of music genre shows would you like to hear?
Into anything really, bit more indie, rock, alternative.

If you were to be placed in the management role of this department tomorrow, what would you change?
I would stop hiring people who have crap mics and who aren't upbeat lol.

Would you tune in more often if there was bigger habbo related prizes? [Yes / No]
Yeah, honestly it seems like nobody ever offer prizes anymore. It seems like a lot of the time they expect people will just tune in when they're not offering anything for them to tune in for.

Would you tune into the station if there was prizes for non-habbo related prizes? (Giftcards etc) [Yes / No]
Yeah, totally. Winning anything is great (A)

What does habboxlive lack in?
Like I've mentioned, upbeat people, good mics, interactive djs. It shocks me knowing that some staff are being promoted and when I tune into them they bore me to death. People need to know what they're going to talk about when they go on air instead of mumbling, tell stories etc. (pretty sure there's threads on these).

A lot of my answers are very similar because I think these things need to be pushed.

What does other radio stations have that habboxlive does not have?
Not sure, don't tune in or look at them. All I know is that Habboquests usually have high listeners because there's a reason to go to the site overall. Who knows how many of them are actually listening.

No

What does habboxlive lack in?
Habbo, Habbo, Habbo.

The problem with feedback threads is that HxL management could do everything they say and the vast majority here still wouldn't tune in (even if they did say Yes that they would, I copied and pasted scott's for mine so at least he admitted it lol). It needs more focus on Habbo, not less. It needs to be based more on Habbo not pandering to a niche market that are highly unlikely to tune in no matter what is done. It needs to get more involved with the Habbox Habbo community (dwindling as it is) so that people know who they actually are - it is no coincidence (or surprise) the DJs that get more listeners are the people that people know.

I agree that HabboxLive department as a whole does need to be more interactive department for the community, I did suggest a few events to Kimmy for that to happen that I used when I was manager and it did work quite well.

I know there are some people who commented on the quality of DJing, perhaps there should be a two step part of the application process.. theres a trial server, maybe get people to apply then put them on that for 10 minutes and get them to connect and disconnect and actually pretend they are DJing which is something I feel should be introduced especially since just a voice clip doesn't really show much now does it? :P. That way you can see what they would actually be like on the radio and it gives you time to help them get any DJing software and show them how to use it etc.

There are quite a few weekly shows that are listed on the HabboxLive site too which I feel could really get the community involved, more interactive shows, the key to success is getting the community involved with HabboxLive without community interaction it just won't go well.

21-02-2015, 09:04 PM

Do you listen to habboxlive? [Yes/No]
Occasionally. Probably more no than yes.

Do you listen to other habbo radio stations? [Yes / No]
Not at all.

What does other radio stations have that habboxlive does not have?
A regular and reliable schedule, professionalism, top-quality music, celebrity guests. I wouldn't expect Habboxlive to be able to have these things. But they still need something to make them unique and I think it's up to the Radio Manager to work out what that is and flaunt it. It's just not good enough to play some music and chat.

Would you tune in if there was more shows dedicated to specific genres that you may enjoy? [Yes / No]
NO. The best type of radio show offers as many genres of music as they can within the hour to accommodate to different tastes. It's great when I fall in love with a song I'd never even have thought to listen to because the radio played it.

If 'Yes' to the last question, what sort of music genre shows would you like to hear?

If you were to be placed in the management role of this department tomorrow, what would you change?
Ban streaming altogether. I disagree with the idea that streaming is better than being offline for two reasons. One is that sometimes I see DJs on Habbo who want to actually DJ (with talking and audience interaction) right then and there but can't because some idiot is streaming to get their hours up. The second reason is that streaming being better than silence simply isn't true. I'm sorry, but I tune in for DJs because I like their personality and enjoy their shows. If I wanted to listen to pure music, I'd use Spotify because then I can listen to what I want.

Focus on DJs interacting with their audience. I mentioned up that Habboxlive can't offer things big 'official' radio stations like Kiss can offer. The one thing it has that those big stations don't is that the DJs *should* know their audience personally. (I say *should* because a lot don't.) A show is always so much more interesting if a DJ is in the Help Desk or the event laughing along on air. It entices people into the room to see what's going on and it encourages listeners to stay tuned in to hear what happens next. I understand some DJs can't DJ and be on client because it lags them out, but in this case you must be doing competitions (such as write a short story and send it in through the competition line, tell me your best chat-up line, etc.), double DJing, involving the forum somehow, just anything you can to keep your listeners occupied. "Oh I can't interact because I can't come on Habbo" is NOT a good enough excuse and should not be tolerated. DJs cannot and should not expect their listeners to tune in; they need to work for it.

A plan needs to be set up to attract regular listeners who keep coming back. We should really start off with big giveaways to get HabboxLive well known to Habbo users, then immediately follow the giveaway with an experienced DJ (someone like Gina who's been here a long time and is reliable when it comes to entertaining their listeners) to keep the chat going for at least another hour, perhaps doing some small on-air competitions to win 5 - 10c per comp. It's awful when there's been a big giveaway and it ends and the radio just goes off air. HabboxLive immediately loses every single listener they managed to gain and may as well have not had the giveaway at all.

Would you tune in more often if there was bigger habbo related prizes? [Yes / No]
Three years ago I would have said yes as the prizes were the things that got me tuned in. Now I couldn't care less about furni or credits, I tune in because the competitions are fun. The prize makes no difference to me; the only thing that would get me participating in competitions is if they were fun. The best comps are the ones that are like 'tell me your best joke' or 'tell me your most embarrassing story'. Something that gets the DJ interacting with the audience and getting to know them better. I cannot STAND the competitions that are like 'How many tables are in the Help Desk? (: (: ((((::" because they're so impersonal and boring.

Would you tune into the station if there was prizes for non-habbo related prizes? (Giftcards etc) [Yes / No]
I don't know what the "etc" would be as all I can think of are gift cards. I would never want to participate in a competition to win a gift card though.

What does habboxlive lack in?

I kind of answered this in my massive essay answer above but:
Loyal listeners who come back regularly and tune in for certain shows
Advertisement of weekly shows. Apparently there are some but idek what they are. Whilst I'm on the subject of weekly shows, is it possible for a DJ to have a weekly thing on Saturdays at 7pm? Would be great to get all the people participating in SNQ to tune in and they seem like easy targets to get to listen.
Variety when it comes to genre. There's more than what's been in the charts in the last 12 months.
Interesting DJs. I swear to God I'm sick of hearing "ermMMM well there are no requests or shoutouts so I'm just gonna play some Taylor Swift anddd yeah get your requests and shoutouts in everyone" every single goddamn time the DJ speaks. On this subject, I think HabboxLive needs to realise that you don't just have to promote someone for the sake of wanting someone to promote. If they aren't getting good listener stats, keep them where they are. If you have a spare Head DJ slot and no one fits the bill, advertise to everyone (not just HxL staff) so anyone can apply.

Oh no I've just read everyone else's answers and they're like one line I'm so sorry for writing pages and pages. Hope it helps anyway, good luck Ripieno whoever u are xx

•Do you listen to habboxlive? [Yes/No] Yes
•Do you listen to other habbo radio stations? [Yes / No] No
•What does other radio stations have that habboxlive does not have? The listeners currently, which is unfortunate. I've been on a few times and there's only me listening. I think it comes more with streaming being common when I tune in.
•Would you tune in if there was more shows dedicated to specific genres that you may enjoy? [Yes / No] No, usually it's a specific DJ or if they accept requests and I like the songs playing.
•If 'Yes' to the last question, what sort of music genre shows would you like to hear? N/A
•If you were to be placed in the management role of this department tomorrow, what would you change? I would ensure DJs were being active, not just squeezing in their slots at the last minute and making sure that discipline was apparent. I've noticed it in the past that it hasn't occurred and it did improve, but unfortunately it seems that because it's a weekly job and they're only required to DJ 2-3 hours they become lazy which shouldn't be the case. I remember last year the radio was on for 168 hours - a full week, you don't see that anymore.
•Would you tune in more often if there was bigger habbo related prizes? [Yes / No] Yes
•Would you tune into the station if there was prizes for non-habbo related prizes? (Giftcards etc) [Yes / No] Yes
•What does habboxlive lack in?

Habboxlive just needs the drive it once had back, have someone looking over it that has the experience needed to run the biggest department at Habbox and ensure that if something goes wrong there are people above who can help fix it. Also, the listener count could be helped with bigger events, but we can't constantly do them but it helps - have something worthwhile to tune into, I'm sick of 'send your name in the competitions line for a chance to win' no... do questions, riddles, jokes and get people involved. Mainly, I believe they lack in getting the community involved, where are the days of picking party rooms? Now it's just search the Held Desk.

*gets my shift key out*

•Do you listen to habboxlive?
No

•Do you listen to other habbo radio stations?
No

•What does other radio stations have that habboxlive does not have?
Not sure as I don't listen to enough, but I'd imagine at the moment they might have more interactive djs, and a larger audience couldn't hurt.

•Would you tune in if there was more shows dedicated to specific genres that you may enjoy?
Yeah I think so, though I'd be more likely to tune into shows where I might be involved in, e.g. like Beth's single review thing where forum members would listen to songs prior and send in their reviews. I usually tune in when a friend is DJing.

•If 'Yes' to the last question, what sort of music genre shows would you like to hear?
Would like to see some sort of "introducing" show, I mainly listen to alternative and pop, however I know I'm in the minority so don't really expect it. Most of Habbox currently is an older generation so I imagine they'll find more enjoyment out of mid 00s nostalgia than just repeating the current top 40.

•If you were to be placed in the management role of this department tomorrow, what would you change?
I don't know the inner workings much, but I'd try to get djs to expand their library, update them regularly on things like the radio one/capital fm playlists, see which songs they think are going to blow up and would push for djs to put effort in diversing and preparing their shows.

•Would you tune in more often if there was bigger habbo related prizes?
I might, but I imagine a lot of the time its smaller, regular prizes rather than saying having a specific time slot each week for a huge competition/giveaway. I never know when these giveaways happen anyway, so might be good to set up some consistancy or hype.

•Would you tune into the station if there was prizes for non-habbo related prizes? (Giftcards etc)
No.

•What does habboxlive lack in?
New Habbos are more likely to go elsewhere unless theres a ongoing competition, and since Habbox has an older fanbase I can't see them being interested in the same repetitive shows.

Do you listen to habboxlive?
No, but I have a couple of times for whatever reason

Do you listen to other habbo radio stations?
No

What does other radio stations have that habboxlive does not have?
I don't listen to them but I assume that they have a lot more community interaction and talking (they may have better prizes too). HabboxLive currently lacks that and instead insists on playing continuous music (and if that isn't bad enough, the majority of music played on there is crap in my opinion). Even some seniors+ do this.

Would you tune in if there was more shows dedicated to specific genres that you may enjoy?
Yes but not often

If 'Yes' to the last question, what sort of music genre shows would you like to hear?
Blues, gospel, folk, country, rock and roll and many old classics which may or may not be under those genres. The listed genres don't have to have their own personal show, there could be a mix between two or whatever.

If you were to be placed in the management role of this department tomorrow, what would you change
Firstly I'd get rid of the ban on only playing one song by one artist per hour, but of course the DJs should not go overboard playing tens of songs by the same artist.

There would be lots of new weekly shows or bi-weekly shows, mainly based upon genre but there are other endless possibilities not including genre

Perhaps a show that's more to do with talking and community interaction than the songs themselves. I'm sure I remember hearing something about a weekly debate or discussion show that was going to happen, maybe something similar? I'm not sure if it exists or not, but if not it is perhaps something @-:Undertaker:- (http://www.habboxforum.com/member.php?u=24233); could talk about with the HxL manager and even get different DJs or members to join in on debates or discussions.

I also agree with everything that Richie said, I'm not going to bother writing up my own version of what he said though :P

Would you tune in more often if there was bigger habbo related prizes?
Yes I would

Would you tune into the station if there was prizes for non-habbo related prizes? (Giftcards etc)
I definitely would but it obviously depends on what they are

What does habboxlive lack in?
Community interaction (on both habbo & habbox), actually talking while djing, good competitions/prizes, having an actual personality or entertainment value in shows. Plus anything else I've said above such as weekly shows.

Richie; weren't u a manager before return NOW

Do you listen to habboxlive?
honstly, no. from all the fansites i supported (habboquests before, habbox), i would say i havent even tried to listen to the radio. the most i would go is to leave the site open in a tab and just leave it there, just to kinda let the site gain one more listener. but since i use hxforum more, i forget abt tuning in to habboxlive.
i would only tune in properly ONLY when a dj go and advertise themselves. only if they are a friend, or someone frm habbox, then i would tune in as if they bother to advertise, to push for listeners, why wouldnt i bother tune in too? also it tells me hey, someone/the fansite i like has someone djing atm.

Do you listen to other habbo radio stations?
i listen to hffm as one of my friends work there. no i do not do it automatically but only tune in when my friend sends pm's etc. its all about advertisements.
dj's advertise, sell yourselves.

What does other radio stations have that habboxlive does not have?
we need more interesting events, like marathons or fundraising, imo

Would you tune in if there was more shows dedicated to specific genres that you may enjoy? [Yes / No]
ill listen to any radio as long as its worth listening to :P

If 'Yes' to the last question, what sort of music genre shows would you like to hear?

If you were to be placed in the management role of this department tomorrow, what would you change?
i would build a super duper awesome large 'party room' and pile all the dj's onto thr :D

Would you tune in more often if there was bigger habbo related prizes?
definitely!

Would you tune into the station if there was prizes for non-habbo related prizes? (Giftcards etc)
its a nice attempt but thrs lots of convenience since thr is usually an international audience? sticking to habbo would be best. :P

What does habboxlive lack in?
DJ'S ADVERTISING.

•Do you listen to habboxlive?
Yeah, sometimes.
•Do you listen to other habbo radio stations?
Yeah, I do, but only because I know some people that DJ on other radio stations.
•What does other radio stations have that habboxlive does not have?
Seems to be a bit more passionate DJ's
•Would you tune in if there was more shows dedicated to specific genres that you may enjoy?
Nahh. Just like irl, can't control what they play and what they don't ( of course there are the req. line, but..)
•If 'Yes' to the last question, what sort of music genre shows would you like to hear?
•If you were to be placed in the management role of this department tomorrow, what would you change?
I would change how much people stream. Everytime I tune in someone seems to be streaming. Gets a bit boring. I understand once in a while when no one is available to talk or when no one is available to DJ, but this is quite often.
•Would you tune in more often if there was bigger habbo related prizes?
Ehh, I think they give pretty decent prizes anyway.
•Would you tune into the station if there was prizes for non-habbo related prizes? (Giftcards etc) [Yes / No]
Well, YEAH!! Free stuff! Woop woop!
•What does habboxlive lack in?
Habboxlive lacks in DJ's that are passionate about their jobs, advertising their department other places, enthusiasm, and we lack at doing a good job at representing habbo. If we have DJ's that sound SO bored and SO angry and sounding like they don't want to be there at all, and don't interact anywhere in habbo other than the radio station, how are we representing habbo? If someone new comes across habbox and tunes in for a bit and listens to the DJ's that just mumble and babble on about nothing on air, They're probably going to tune out. I love habbox, I know Habboxlive DJ's do too, so show it! Yeah, of course, sometimes there is only like 1 or 2 people that are on air, but Habbox is a pretty old fansite. Of course things will slow down. But, we might just need to figure out WHY it's slowed down SO much. If we figure out that, maybe we'll be able to fix the problem and get Habbox up and running again and popular.

Do you listen to habboxlive? Very Rarely, so I guess I should put No.
Do you listen to other habbo radio stations? No
What does other radio stations have that habboxlive does not have? Definitely an active audience that is consistent
Would you tune in if there was more shows dedicated to specific genres that you may enjoy? Yeah sometimes
If 'Yes' to the last question, what sort of music genre shows would you like to hear? iTunes countdowns (they might be done already I'm not sure)
If you were to be placed in the management role of this department tomorrow, what would you change? The rules so that it's more fun for Djs
Would you tune in more often if there was bigger habbo related prizes? No
Would you tune into the station if there was prizes for non-habbo related prizes? (Giftcards etc) Depends on the DJ (without sounding mean). Prizes don't really bother me to be honest, if I like the DJ and their Music I'll tune in regardless.
What does habboxlive lack in? - Community interaction/Events, international DJ numbers and planning & preparation skills for big events (Like the Valentines Ball seemed to be created very last minute with very little advertising)

What does habboxlive lack in? DJs who are enthusiastic about interacting with their audience. There are some but it seems to be a rarity and it's really the most important part of the job since anyone can stick on whatever tunes they want if they're just after a bit of music - the way a slot is presented should take priority over having a few tunes to stream

02-03-2015, 08:15 AM

i think we should just allow uncensored tracks there just words. as for the point Wispur; has said about lookign at bigger prizes i agree with this i know when i was a HxL DJ i tried to be quite a chatty person and i liked to mix with people on the client when id be on air, my comps were also usually proze orientated as i have a ton of furni i never used so my prizes per show ranged from about 25c minimum to 60c maximum, some djs still provide good prizes (gina/kimmy etc) but some dont even have comps so there isnt a reason people tune in. i only tune in when gina and kimmy are on now so i apologise to others but they just play the same recycled trash all the time or stream and if i wanted that id listen to itunes. it really does simply need more community based approach and i feel the new updates you are quoting to focus on will certainly improve on this and as a result i really look forward to it. it will hopefully bring me back to the HxL site more and will maybe get back into it.

Showder

02-03-2015, 08:52 AM

I guess this is really late; however as I do have several senior experiences for radio in fansites, I suppose I'll just be really honest to help you guys. c:

Do you listen to HxL?
Kind of, yeah. I used to be addicted to HxL back in 11' (when I became a DJ for the first time, lol)
Do you listen to other radio stations?
Yeah, I go on ThisHabbo a lot. HFFM sometimes, but generally ThisHabbo.
What does other radio stations have that HabboxLive does not have?
Definitely professionalism. The DJs (whenever I tune in) tend to blabber on about the littlest of things and based on what I listen to, there isn't really much events and competitions being done on air. Considering that my little critique may go onto Events, I'll just stop there, ha ha. Also, as far as I'm concerned, HxL barely has listeners compared to other fansites (ala FH, TH, HFFM, HC) so I think something should be done about that.
Would you tune in if there was more shows dedicated to specific genres you may enjoy?
As long as the DJ is professional and does not drag on about listeners while asking people tuning in to sign up for the forum at least 3 times within their slot, then maybe.
If 'Yes' to the last question, what sort of music genre shows would you like to hear?
Anything that isn't overloaded with Mainstream Top 40 stuff. I mean yes, play some popular songs but having Meghan Trainor/Sam Smith/Ed Sheeran/Ariana Grande being played over and over again pisses me off. But that's just my opinion.
If you were to be placed in the management role of this department tomorrow, what would you change?
I wouldn't really change anything staff-wise because honestly, Habbox has the best management (imo!) and best staff layout but I'd definitely work on bringing back the listeners. This will require a tremendous amount of work and the support from other departments like Events and Help Desk, because our target market is Habbo users. My formula for this is more Habbo events = more Habbo listeners. It really helps. Also, I'd bring the DJs closer by doing group Skype calls, bonding sessions like online karaoke and etc. This can bring the staff community more closer and having that happen will eventually equal enthusiasm on the radio as their friends would tune in - which of course, brings in da peepz.
Would you tune in more often if there was bigger habbo related prizes?
No, I'm not interested in Habbo anymore.
Would you tune into the station if there was prizes for non-habbo related prizes?
If it involves giving money/gift-cards as prizes, then hell yeah.
What does habboxlive lack in?
I'd refer back to my previous statement regarding what other fansites have and HxL have. I don't really know what goes behind the scenes in HxL (since I've been working in radio for other sites) but I think HxL should really beef up on staff support. From what I know with most DJs, they all tend to tune out when it isn't their slot. Maybe it's because they don't really care about the DJ, but not having support from your staff members in the end is prime reason of why the radio never improves.

Inseriousity.

02-03-2015, 01:30 PM

With that are you planning on introducing 'peak hours'. Because yes, in the UK 12pm is a time when you probably feel you can play more uncensored songs, but with International DJs, 12PM GMT is 7PM for me, being my peak hours. I do not agree with this idea, considering Habbo is now .com and there isn't just UK people at the site anymore.

The idea of a watershed was discussed when I was AGM and didn't go forward for this reason so I agree. :)

Kimmy

02-03-2015, 04:06 PM

If you were to be placed in the management role of this department tomorrow, what would you change
Firstly I'd get rid of the ban on only playing one song by one artist per hour, but of course the DJs should not go overboard playing tens of songs by the same artist.

There would be lots of new weekly shows or bi-weekly shows, mainly based upon genre but there are other endless possibilities not including genre

Perhaps a show that's more to do with talking and community interaction than the songs themselves. I'm sure I remember hearing something about a weekly debate or discussion show that was going to happen, maybe something similar? I'm not sure if it exists or not, but if not it is perhaps something @-:Undertaker:- (http://www.habboxforum.com/member.php?u=24233); could talk about with the HxL manager and even get different DJs or members to join in on debates or discussions.

A debates show is actually a really good idea. I know some DJs have something called VAC where they can invite other members on air via a call on Skype. It'd be cool to have some forum members come on air to debate a topic that's chosen during the week on the forum.

I know personally that a lot of the problems with HabboxLive lie internally with both DJ's interaction and DJ's enthusiasm. The community interaction is extremely sparse right now, and it's shocking the amount of people who actually bother to go on client during their slots, something I aim to entirely obliterate; perhaps making it a rule to be on client whenever you're hosting.

Streaming is another thing that I'm attempting to counter. I've already established a rule that if you're caught streaming without reporting it, you face a caution/warning. I believe that people will be more obliged to make the effort if they have to report themselves.

There will be more prospective events for everyone to take part in (as they've also been sparse) though of course, this takes some planning.

Bigger prizes is yet another thing I'm trying to counter. Every month, I spend some of my own wage to stock up something called my 'HabboxLive Fund'. This is entirely for DJs to use whenever they'd like to host a competition on client or on air.

I've created an events room where every week on a Sunday, someone will host a HxL Event both on client and on air, where there will be the chances to grab both VIP and credits (where it be in the form of GBs or sacks etc). This, again, is to try and counteract the problem of community interaction.

The rule with playing one song from the one artist is something that I also believe should be terminated. This will be discussed with management further.

Any DJ who doesn't want to be in the department (judged by attitude and effort put into shows) can leave. I can't be bothered dealing with people who can't be bothered, honestly. I want upbeat, dedicated DJs.

I do believe it requires a collective effort from both myself and the department, and it will take some time to uproot some of the crap that goes on. Those unwilling to help me make this effort one again, can go.

Thank you all so much for the feedback, I've saved quite a few of your answers so that I can come back to reflect on them as I build an actually decent department where there's bare space for derogatory comments.

If you were to be placed in the management role of this department tomorrow, what would you change? The dedication of the staff. You see a lot of other stations doing giveaways and promoting listeners, I rarely see that at HabboxLive. Also, you need someone that knows what they're doing in the International Side. Bringing up Lindsey was a good idea however I feel like it's almost too little too late because you dont have really anyone else who's experienced up in the "senior" roles.

02-03-2015, 05:50 PM

Thanks for creating this, Richie! I've had a read through and these are the possible changes that we'll be discussing with HabboxLive management this week:

Banning streaming during peak hours & weekends
More special shows - E.g. Debates Show
More double DJ shows
Bigger prizes, giveaways, etc
Less restrictions on how many times an artist can be played per hour
More lenience on uncensored music with the introduction of watershed hours
DJ Quality Control - More use of the test servers during DJ trial stage
Bigger variety of music. Less chart songs.

I will +rep everyone who has contributed too! Thanks. :)

Banning streaming during peak hours & weekends - Good idea might seem to be a difficult task though :P
More special shows - E.g. Debates Show - Agreed.
More double DJ shows - Agreed, they're far more enjoyable to listen to as everyone seems much more up beat, if done properly of course.
Bigger prizes, giveaways, etc - I don't really feel the need for habbo furni personally so i disagree.
Less restrictions on how many times an artist can be played per hour - Agreed once it's not excessive.
More lenience on uncensored music with the introduction of watershed hours - Agreed, once people don't take the piss.
DJ Quality Control - More use of the test servers during DJ trial stage - Agreed but again it might be hard if there isn't many applicants.
Bigger variety of music. Less chart songs. - Agreed, I'd say still obviously play chart music but presenters should mix it up a bit

The idea of a watershed was discussed when I was AGM and didn't go forward for this reason so I agree.

When you were in charge alongside @xxMATTGxx (http://www.habboxforum.com/member.php?u=1020); I was allowed to present an R&B / Rap hour, this brought in some new faces. So I don't agree entirely. Not sure if your views have changed since leaving but you definitely gave the go ahead, as I remember you listening. It's much easier for someone to disagree with changes, if they aren't the ones in the main chair.

I think watershed shows are a great idea, a warning can be given prior to a show but presenters should be warned that everything played during the show is viewed by management and a warning can be issued at their discretion. You know there'll be some clown that will think it'll be okay to play 'tenacious d - **** her gently' or something along those lines, i think there's a difference between an artist using explicit words to add further emotion to a song and a song that has a soul purpose of taking the mick / mocking the new leniency of rules.

Every show should ideally have a mix of different types of genres to cater for all. I've requested Kanye West a number of times and presenters tend to ignore the request or tell me they haven't got a clean version of the song. Music is so much harder to get these days, I'm sure all presenters will agree with that, so getting a clean version of a song is going to be a hard task unless it has been in the top 40 before. Hence why I think we're having a chart fest :P.

Inseriousity.

02-03-2015, 06:16 PM

I have no problem with weekly shows or more leniency in general but introducing a watershed is impractical with the various timezones that Habbox represents. Although I think there's been a mixup with the definition of watershed lol because your idea of a 'watershed show' is totally different to an actual watershed (after a certain time there's more leniency). If Chris does mean what you said there then yeah there isn't really an issue for me there.

I would be surprised if I did tune in lol. not a huge fan of r&b and rap. I might've suffered through the terrible music just to be supportive I suppose!

Kimmy

02-03-2015, 09:13 PM

Stop with the time wasters
just song shows
community shows which have events

I do not do time wasters, whatsoever. I've made it very clear that if people don't want to be in the department then they can go. I've gotten rid of a few DJs at my own discretion due to 'time wasting' also, so I'm countering that.
If you mean streaming, just song shows can get a bit tedious... Considering that everyone thinks it's okay to stream (I've outlined clearly that it is not).
I've established a new on air/on client event where every Sunday at 7pm DJs can book to host whatever event they'd like to host and someone will be on air to run parallel with this. You can win prizes from both.

Do you listen to habboxlive? [Yes/No] - Occasionally
Do you listen to other habbo radio stations? [Yes / No]
What does other radio stations have that habboxlive does not have? From past experience, DJs have a far better presence on air and actually engage like a professional DJ rather than them just talking about their day at school or how their cat stole a chip off of their dinner plate.
Would you tune in if there was more shows dedicated to specific genres that you may enjoy? [Yes / No] Possibly, I'm rather set in my ways but there would be certain genres that I would definitely tune into if there was a good selection of music from that genre.
If 'Yes' to the last question, what sort of music genre shows would you like to hear? Rock N Roll, Classical... I can't think right now.
If you were to be placed in the management role of this department tomorrow, what would you change? It's such a hard thing to say as I have no HxL experience. I would however look back at what was happening during the days of ,Jess, tenure as manageress as what ever she was doing worked well for HabboxLive and then I would adapt it and apply it to 2015. I would definitely get rid of DJs that mumble a lot on air and try and work on improving the professionalism of the on air entertainment as well as the site content on HxL.om.
Would you tune in more often if there was bigger Habbo related prizes? [Yes / No] Former Forum Manager, Elkaa did a forum takeover and gave away something like 20 thrones and it was a well publicised event. The radio was maxed out at 200/200 listeners in a matter of no time and it stayed that way for the majority of the day. So yes I would however I wouldn't expect Habbo to give away this kind of furniture on a regular basis.
Would you tune into the station if there was prizes for non-habbo related prizes? (Giftcards etc) [Yes / No] That would possibly make it even more appealing. Especially if I could chose what giftcard I wanted to actually have.
What does Habboxlive lack in? A presence on Hx and HxF. It just disappears.. as well as professional sounding DJs.

I may speak with Chris about relaxing the rules on song swears to an extent. There's always going to be one smartass who thinks it's okay to play songs that are plain vulgar as opposed to a swear here and there to express emotion.

It may be easier to shape the warning system around people who abuse the freedom not to censor rather than around those who do not censor, as some songs aren't too excessive with it. However, I may also have it limited to two-three songs per slot so that people don't overuse it.

I'll see.

Chris

03-03-2015, 06:27 PM

Watershed isn't necessary even if we weren't international - there are no laws on censoring online radios, and as someone who has had to censor certain songs for people in the past I can honestly say it would be a lot easier for everyone to not have that as a worry. As long as people don't start playing loads of A*C* or racist chants it shouldn't be a problem, and I'd like to think that our DJs wouldn't do that anyway

I agree to be honest. The only reason the no swearing rule was ever put in place was to try and protect the younger listeners from the bad language. I doubt it was effective back then and it certainly wont be very effective now.

I may speak with Chris about relaxing the rules on song swears to an extent. There's always going to be one smartass who thinks it's okay to play songs that are plain vulgar as opposed to a swear here and there to express emotion.

It may be easier to shape the warning system around people who abuse the freedom not to censor rather than around those who do not censor, as some songs aren't too excessive with it. However, I may also have it limited to two-three songs per slot so that people don't overuse it.

I'll see.

Good idea!
