habbox newsletter

Not quite an action plan but I don't think its wrong to spread the news of what's going to happen confined to each month - still does the job of proving that there are ideas being worked on - so it's a good step in the right direction, also a good way to reflect on the previous month too. Good idea if it's kept up :)

perhaps it could evolve into a monthly magazine as has been suggested in here before (kyle's pushed for it recently i think) and the text is a bit small, I'll assume that's why a text version is offered and maybe it's unavoidable but something to consider for the next one if it is possible.

I was just making a thread on this you bloody thief

I love it, it's beautiful and well put together. wd @lawrawrrr; and anybody else involved

I found it quite boring to be honest, I liked mathews old one where he'd have a few jokes about staff/known users in it too, can you do that next time @lawrawrrr;

lol i needed to do it to prove I can still give praise too soz kyle ;)

I've started compiling lists and ideas for next month, with a much better community element which you'll hopefully see public in the last week of April. This one is more of an introductory one, focusing on the managers and general Habbox achievements.

@Inseriousity; this is only a little side project for me, not the main focus of the GM team at the moment :P But yeah, reflecting on the month and giving managers a chance to work up a little advertisement is gonna evolve into a bigger thing. I'm going to continue it, definitely, hopefully even expanding it so more people can get involved. I do want to get writers and people - you don't have to be Habbox staff!

The text was a concsious design decision, when it's open on a normal size monitor it's OK - the same size as Habbo use anyway, so I thought most users wouldn't have a problem ;) Plaintext option was for mobile users / users with image problems & special needs.

@Kyle; thank you! I really enjoyed making it :)

@scottish; see the first bit to this post! Definitely want to introduce something like that - and I can't really remember Mathews to be honest! Although now you've said it it is ringing a bell...

I'm not sure "it's a step in the right direction" counts as praise mviii

I think it's really cute! Laura also makes The Jungle sound more successful than it was so ty for that :8

I think it's good, and certainly something that can be improved on for the future.

Personally I didn't find out much that I didn't already know (I imagine that's because it's the first issue), and I'm not a fan of the huge spacing on some lines - but it's good, visually it's very nice.

It was originally posted in staff forums so check for mathews posts in the regular staff forums (no dept specific)

well that's praise compared to 'general mgmt have proven they dont have any ideas' :)
oh ignore the text issue, thats cos forum resizes images that are too big.

i like the idea and layout of it but i agree with scott, it was a bit boring

i didn't read much of the content because it's just repeating things i already know about so doesn't interest me

but yes i liked it considering it's a first and hope to see more!! and mathews was called habbox heckler i'm sure
