'falling furni in my room - 3pm" for example is not a good announcement title. I remember a few years ago things used to be very strict in regards to CNBs and I do think EOs shoudl be more aware of how important it is. Obviously not the end of the world but generally just doesn't look very appealing.

And in the Events dept. you are required to post your announcement around half an hour before your event starts and I do know that sometimes people forget which is a shame.

You don't 100% have to post announcement 30 mins before your events

Quite a few events are booked last minute (i.e. if i book an event it'll probs be at very earliest 30 minutes before the time is up, and at times it's been into the hour), not everyones sure what they're going to be doing all night in order to book events hours in advance :P

Same goes for CNB, not everyone is in 30 minutes before their event they might only get in with say 5 minutes to spare, or some booked into the hour so obviously can't post a CNB before they've even booked.

If people are online and waiting then generally the CNB is posted before the hour.

Read my previous post. :P

I think the issue is when it is being posted after the event starts, I think CNB should definitely be a priority especially with not all rooms being on the navigator (or something, I didn't really understand what they were on about) and the removal of Habbo events.

They are posted before the event starts, always basically

Yes sometimes they're like 10 minutes into the hour but can almost assure you that the game hasn't started yet.

Especially with EOs booking multiple slots ofc it's going to take a bit longer to finish first game, change room/stickies etc, book it then post CNB :P

I've seen many threads this week where people have posted events that have already started. These are the same people that are posting in the thread title "3pm" when they create the thread at 3.26pm.

If people actually start the game before the CNB is posted then PM Smurfed- / -Amyy / Mathew and i'm sure they'll send a reminder to the EO.. especially if it keeps happening with the same member.

I don't play Habbo, so I wouldn't know, but my main complaint is people posting events that say "Blah blah - 3pm" when they post it at half 3 - people won't look at these threads if the time has already past.

If it's booked its post on habbox.com

Looking at first page I don't see any posted at half past the hour it was supposed to start?

The worst I can see is 17 minutes past.

I'm sure the majority of people will either see it on new posts or glancing at announcements and see 'xxxxxx - 3PM' and figure to go to it whether its 30 minutes early or 5 minutes into the hour :P

Of course 30 minutes is an extreme example. Looking in the last week, I can see these times over the hour:

10, 12, 13, 5, 9, 17, 10, 3, 3, 15, 11, 11, 11, 2, 11

Of course the ones that are hosted at 3 past the hour aren't a problem, I just included them to be fair, and the ones highlighted are done by the same person.

I'm not saying it's a major issue, there just seems to be a rule somewhere that says events must be done on the hour - it'd be easier if they could put 5:15pm in the title for example, because then people won't read '5pm' and think 'That was 10 minutes ago, might as well not bother'.

Only a suggestion, nothing major :)

Why would you not bother with a 60 minute event because it started 10 minutes ago?

You don't say oh that 2 week sale started 2 hours ago may as well not go now?

Events start on the hour and last an hour (or as close to it as possible), having to change the event in a CNB to say 5:15 then people might assume it runs to 6:15, also just ultimately pointless when you can say the hour it was booked/supposed to start.

It would also be stupid having habbox.com stating event - 5PM then CNB - 5:15PM.


Sale was first thing that came to my head that lasts for a duration and starts at a time so don't ask :P

Sorry, I was unaware that events had to last an hour :P
