My opinions and flaws about HXF.

Reputation
I think the reputation system should be 100% looked at again.
Habbox have killed there own "reputation" by editing the reputation system. Incase you haven't noticed Habbox, how many active users are there compared to 6 months ago? Yeah, you are right. Oh dear me. Hmm, a wrong turn somewhere? And how many are there now? Hmmm.

Infact, I'm going to record all active users at 7PM every single day for the next 2 weeks and prove to you how bad you are doing.

Web Hosts Section
I think something needs to be sorted out. 8/10 people that post there are mature and are very very constructive in arguments. But take a look and view all the threads that have arguments in. I think there should be a rule for something like, if there is an argument, only the people that are actually involved may reply to them with constructive replies. Thats my thought. Also, I think more MOD's are 100% needed in that section. It is getting more and more active.

My TB:

---\ <- When I joined.
----\ <- When most of the "legends" left.
-----\_______ <- When the forum got more active, it was funny to
---------------\--/ \ chat to people. Have a great laugh, without
----------------\/--- \ spamming. It was very very cool
---------------------- \ ---- ______
----------------------- \---/<-------\-- The web section got more
-------------------------\/-----------\ populated, more people where
---------------------------------------\ posting than ever before.
---------------------------------------| <- Go into the webhost section
---------------------------------------| you'll find at least 20+
---------------------------------------| threads within the last week of arguments.
---------------------------------------| <- Reputation changes.
---------------------------------------|
Going back steps. Such as disabling -> /
reputation and starting all over again. /
(If it happeneds)

I got bored and decided to make it colourful. :)

Won't be before long before your own members backfire onto you. Your green/red status doesn't count for anything, I think you have lost respect from 3/4 of the forum users.

:werock:
It's a shame we can't ever say that again.

I personally think this is down to bad management and something needs to be done before it is too late.

(I actually wonder how many users are actually active out of 33k users)

I personally think Habbox are on a ticking bomb. That bomb is about to explode. Hence the user activity.

I agree completely with you. Habbox needs to revert back to Habbox Forum 2004/2005. Habbox Forum 2007/2007 is incredibly bad compared. Management aren't dedicated management, they've taken on more jobs than they can carry out.

put me as admin and haha i'll sort this forum out

The thing about the Mods is hard for us, not because we are understaffed because we are not. It is the fact that the line between arguments and negative comments is sometimes overcrossed. We attempt to infract all users breaking the rules but arguments and sometimes not preventable especially when users constantly make new threads about the same topic.

If you see an argment breaking in these sections please use the report button and me, another Mod in that section or an SMOD will look into it.

i joined in dec 2004 and the mods are still as crap as they ever were

Exactly how I feel but I fear I may not be trusted for some strange, unknown reason. My target would be the rules, because Habbox have this strange idea they need to go into details with their rules when really some of them cover everything.

I very much doubt it... You were probably still in nursery back then (considering your mental age is somewhat low). Moderators were at their best back then, they didn't have this silly infraction system, warnings were done through notes.

very nice and thought out retort there mr gomme and im glad i can say the same about u after that
infraction system is actually better then notes back then perm bans were all at random (well to me atleast)

Got to admit, the forum doesn't have the same appeal and atmosphere it did when i joined bk in 05.
I think some of the changes made during my return to the forum have been a bit unneeded, and im not sure if the forum can ever return to its glory days imho.

I understand your job and how hard it is. I am not complaining about the MOD's I personally have never had a problem with a MOD. I find all MOD's I spoken too/friends with are dedicated as your self.

Thankfully, Habbox do allow constructive arguments. But theres too much of it recently, way way too much. I can't point a finger as I do it my self. But something does need to be sorted.

2004/5 Was by far the best time for HxF :) When something is being built it gives all the staff a reason to push forward but when it comes to just maintaining something it can get a little boring.
I think that there is a lack of respect on the forums and its hard to get that back :o Personally I would just ban the trouble causers as soon as they start but it seems they get left here long enough to get others joining up with them and breeding more trouble causers.
Things will never be the same for me here as the good old days.
I think a number of members are between the habbo and adult stage of their lives and come here as a force of habit and not because they want to. The way forward is with the new members but HxF must still respect the views and opinions of the old members such as GommeInc and Mentor have have also witnessed the ups and downs times in HxF's history.
