I believe a lot of users left habboxlive due to the poor quality as they had other alternatives with better quality.

Can you give me the time period you're speaking about? Was this very recently or a while ago?

I can't find the thread pal but I did post in feedback numerous of times asking could habboxlive allow their djs to stream at higher bitrate and this was a good year ago or so. I understand listeners were dropping anyway but habboxlive did have a few listeners that stuck by. Without a giveaway these days habboxlive struggle with 25 listeners.

I remember numbers being much higher than 25 last summer, but maybe it was because I was back around HxSS time.

The 128kb/s bitrate came into effect 20th Feb

Yeah they were and it's getting to the point where management will be questioning is it really worth keep the radio open? I still think habboxlive has hope but that's only if djs try to be more enthusiastic, charismatic and without offending anyone, put a little more effort into their shows. It might seem crap at the moment but personally when I was around and the listeners were low I'd tend to ignore the stats because if the listeners are low obviously you aren't going to want to try. I personally love challenges like this :P. I remember at habboxlive years ago they did battle of the sexes or something and it was basically female djs vs male and they had to do challenges to try beat one another. Perhaps habboxlive could do 'battle of the djs' and mix the sexes up, have two big teams and they can earn points by djing, getting a room full, making a conga. Nothing like that happens anymore and the new djs are really missing out as it was really fun.

I think all fansites struggle these days to get big numbers without a giveaway etc. The spark isn't there anymore, I still love going on air even if I've only got 20 listeners. It's such a shame because the big numbers have dropped, I remember back in 2004/5 when 200 was a low number for a week day :(

Jess & I spoke to community Mike about some HabboxLive larger event (such a Battle of the Sexes & Habbox Starz) but as far as I remember we might not be able to do it because of upcoming whole-Habbox events.

Well Habbox24 iS a whole-Habbox event but when it happened last time it really booted the international side of Habbox. It'd be nice to see it return - I spoke to @xxMATTGxx; about the return of Habbox24 but everyone is busy with exams etc, then after exams we have HxSS perhaps after HxSS

Yeah I know. I guess I'm lucky because I don't have exams or anything so I don't have to worry :(
