Donations

I know for a fact that habbox needs a constant run of donations (yes staff forums) yet you don't promote the "Donate to Habbox" much, on the site nothing caught my eye about donating.
Then i actually looked for something related to donating and say this...

...Really? You expect people to see that?
Maybe if you got the graphics department to make more banners like:

saying "donate to habbo" you might actually get donations instead of the few we currently get:

September 2010-
,Joez. - 6 creds & 1 hc
August 2010
-=Mike465=- - Gold bar
Thoratix - 2 Throne Sofas
Past Donators:
AidenFTW24 - 1 throne, 95hc, 150 credits
StalinJoseph - 40 credits, lots of normals
Demala - 29hc, 212 credits
Wiizzz - 1 throne
Mr-Trainor - Lots of norms

(Thanks to the people who already have though)

To be honest it's quite clear that you're able to donate, we don't need to be wasting valuable resources from the graphics department making pointless banners. People mainly come to Habbox for the prizes and are well reluctant to donate. I doubt a banner is going to change that. I've never donated any large quantities tbh, and a banner won't change my mind. Will I in the future? Who knows. But a banner certainly won't persuade me. It's VERY clear on the Website that people can donate and also have a list of donators so there's no need for pointless banners taking up space that can be used on far more important things.

1. Wasting valuable resources from the graphics department?
They aint even that busy cause i speak to a couple of them and tis their job.

2. It isn't very clear you can donate on the site actually. Their might be a page but its not completely clear.

3. It won't take up space because that's what the banner roll is for.

1. To be honest they might not be busy atm but V6 is fast approaching therefore will begin to get very busy.

2. It couldn't be clearer. A page is enough tbh.

3. Who knows if that's still going to be there in V6? So why waste time now..

I'm sure there was a rotator banner made for donations :o! Maybe it's not being used, I do agree though there isn't much about donating although we obviously don't want it to seem like we want everyones furni or that we have none...:P

1. Tbh, Graphics don't have a lot to do with the site design, as that's what the site coders do. Like, most site coders are already good at layout designs, and I believe there is already a design ready (from that competition), so the most we would have to do for V6 would be create a banner probably saying "welcome to V6" at the most. lmao.

2. I disagree, if donation are needed just having a page under a tab isn't quite enough.

3. Of course a banner rotator of some form will be in V6. It is needed as the main advertisement of Habbox.com.

I agree with this donations thing. I think a department like Events needs this help. Nowadays, you need to have a lot of furniture on Habbo to cope with the events and be able to give out prizes which people are going to actually appreciate. I think there is some Events Survey going out, so this might give everyone an idea on what prizes people expect from Habbox, but still. I think donations for Events would be a great help.


EDIT: + Scotty, I swear there was a donations banner made too, but that mighta been time ago :P

Marriot:

They arnt busy now, it takes 2 minutes to make a banner hardly time consuming.
It can be clearer, not in your face just so more people know.
Also, it wont waste time if you read my first point.

Scotty:

I;m not saying habbox saying "PLZ DONATE TO US" just a banner maybe saying exactly what it says on the tiny tiny tiny banner thing.

tbh I never know were donations go, I'm sure we had loads of stuff and the only event where donations have been used is HxSS cause EOs need to supply their own prizes still right?

1. Well tbh Graphics need to be made to make the site look nice as well as the coding. And if you have little to do with the site, why the hell are you a department? :S Seems pretty pointless if all you do is make banners. I could do that in my sleep :l Habbox might as well hold competitions to get people to design their stuff for them. Probably be of better quality than some of the banners on the site. :l

2. A banner wouldn't change anything tbh. It'll just be a little gif that no one will pay attention to.

3. Not necessarily. V6 is meant to be a major "overhaul" so having a banner rotator would look old school when you could just have something that's a lot more Web 2.0 than just a ****** placeholder for gif file. No offence to whoever designed V5.

If they aren't busy and it take 2 mins, why have them as a department as I said, it seems just like a pointless department imo.
It really can't be any clearer. If people are interested in donating they'll notice the donate page. If you want to make it clearer just add a new tab saying Donate and link it to a thread on the Forum. Takes even less time. And it will waste time if V6 is meant to be "rapidly approaching"

The graphics department make most if not all the graphics you see around the site/forum/hxl except the layout...that's up to the site designers/coders/devolpers or whatever they are called to design.
