Community

Hey,
I'm going to try to be like gandhi in this thread, I guess. Well I have been thinking about this for a while and I don't think its changed much since I was staff. Habbox doesn't seem to have one whole community, we have a good community, yes. But its divided up into different groups. For example I don't see many managers getting along. Maybe they do but it seems to look like they are at war or in better context 'competition', each manager wants to make their department better than the others.

Habbox have other set 'groups' like the tech geeks, the rebellious spammers & the all important habboers. Lets be honest spam members don't get on well with the people in the habbo forum. Like wise with other sections. Within departments, groups form and ******** starts, its funny but true. I like how the forum team seem to be trying to interact with other departments such as the help desk. Department managers need to come up with a plan to basically clash with one another.

Don't get me wrong, the groups I'm talking about are groups because they don't share the same interests. However that said, it doesn't mean they can't get along & just generally have a laugh together. These groups need to make more of an effort to accept people and not flame them because they are discussing something that doesn't rock their boat.

It would be nice to see departments clash, I don't know how but I'm sure people could come up with some good ideas.



Rich.

I know what you mean, but apart from the managers thing, it really is hard to get all the different groups to get along. The 'spammers' (i guess im one of them, although not exactly rebellious now am i) don't generally get along with the Habboers because the spammers are quite a lot older (most of the time atleast), and much like in real life, i just can't talk to someone who is like 11 or 12 without either being patronising or feeling rather dumb myself. It's a sad truth, but not much else you can do.

One thing i'd like to see is the ridding of the staff forum, or atleast the ridding of the non-work related staff forums, they serve no purpose other than creating a gap.

Departments do clash sometimes, but obviously it's harder with some departments (for instance the closest we can get as the Comps dept is just letting people publish their own comps- which fills up our calendar woo!) but I do guess you're right. Each department is at war, kk I do it to joke around but the bottom line is that we are all one and in it together, to make Habbox stronger each day. I see your point and it is very valid. +rep if I can.

edit: cant sorry

I was going to say something along those lines, but I know the staff wouldn't be happy.

Do you mean come together rather than work richie? Clash would mean we were fighting all the time :P Thanks for the comment about our involvement in Habbox Help Desk - as I kind of hinted earlier, our next stop is to get involved with HabboxLive and I was speaking to Jess only today about making this happen.

I generally find Habbox Managers friendly and willing to help, for instance HotelUser is very cooperative, Jess is - Jess has been a great help to me today. The Competitions Managers are also good to work with, generally Habbox Management get on and have a laugh - although it's clear we don't really interact with eachother in public on the forum, although I do assure you it generally does happen and although there are sometimes disagreements - we all do generally get on.

In terms of making other groups around the forum get along with eachother, mhmm I don't think there's much you can do about that but try to promote people to post everywhere and get involved in these other groups - which is something I actively try to encourage and have just launched the posting competition with the aim of this.

I don't understand what you're saying here, getting rid of the staff forums? It'd be harder for approval and communication.

Just the non-work related ones, i heard there's a spam one there, like seriously? really? needed? no.

I think it would be hard to try and get any of the groups (members) to come together. Most of the time it's where they want to stay/post more often compared to the other forums. I can see where you come from as Spam isn't always welcome to everyone at times but you can't force people to get along or post elsewhere if they are mainly from the technology forums.

Communication between Managers has improved and has become a lot better compared to other times, I'm a bit confused on what you mean in regards of the staff forums?

No get rid of unnecessary things such as spam forums in each department, I don't see why they are needed, can't everyone just post their comments in one spam thread? After all its not like staff speak about anything that the public aren't allowed to see.


Yeah oli thats what I meant lol my English is terrible innit lol


Main point: Keep the staff forums for work only, that way I think it would get people posting in public spam. I don't see why each department need a spam thread its not like they post anything the public aren't allowed to see. It just seems the spam threads are to make the staff feel privileged or something. It wouldn't be very fair to hide the public spam from staff now would it.

I agree that the "Habbox Staff: Talk about anything" forum should be removed.
