competitions on habbox.com

title might be confusing? but yeah im clearing out old pm's and i was reading a convo i had with @Intersocial; about a competitions survey he did at the time. (05-08-2013 08:23 PM)
gonna post what was said here cause it's still a valid point and maybe a good idea, you tell me.

there's even a wiki one now? lol

We will discuss the thing with news that you just said also.

A Habbox Today shouldn't be too much issue, as they still get requested on occasion so I shall see about that + the draw something competition

Thanks for the comments

- I agree largely with this point. Most people on Habbo and those who have answered this forum have said they dislike graphics competitions because it's the same old "recolour X Y and Z". Do you have any ideas for how they could be improved though, to a level that wouldn't make it too hard for certain users?

Well everyone likes Draw Something/Draw My Thing which is a fairly simple concept, a Habbox version wouldn't go a miss imo, maybe spiced up with certain Habbo/Habbox themes to suit what's currently going on (e.g HxSS is soon so summer theme). Could be a monthly/2 week thing - maybe skipping a month here and there to stop repetitiveness.

Wooo my question of the week! That was around 2011 ish I believe and was just a widget in which there was a competition question and a submit button and it sent the entries to a special subforum in the general managers forum and we were able to randomly select a winner from there. Of course it could probably be done a lot easier these days with V7 :P. You could even have like a different rare prize each week or something maybe? :)

It was actually really popular and attracted a lot of entries, and was something that could be done interactively through the site which was nice. :)


Also I agree that the competitions widget should definitely be brought back. I used it quite a bit (when it was working) on V6 in order to quickly see a list of what comps were available etc.

I think this would actually be a great idea to bring back, especially the idea of the weekly comps for credits! I will see what Samanfa says and if she is happy, I'll speak to Tom about sorting it :)

Need to change the heading colour, but added @David; @Absently; @Martin; @Expling; @Kyle;

@Expling; why do we need to know the latest wiki edits? it's entirely pointless
