With habbox, we do regular big events that top most other little events hosted by other fansites. The ammount we have now is right, you also have to think about staff. I know myself that after hxSS i was a bit tired of running events and its a bit unfair that you say you want more? Almost every holiday theres smoething going on and I think we've got it right

once again I'll use the habbable example, what they do is when they do a campaign they have maybe one thing every one/two days. this may be a Quest, an event or a competition ran by the competition staff. The competitions are usually simple and fun something like create a habbo fashion range, that takes 5 minutes and the people who enter will keep checking back to see if they won that particular comp.

Competitions Staff constantly post competitions throughout the month. As for Quests, well, the comps department is going to take that little burden off the events department for this month as we have a forum quest planned for the middle of the month. Keep your eyes peeled! :D

The HxSS has just closed, let's give the events organisers a little breather before they're all back to work!

why would people get bored of Big events? you only need to host say one apprentice a year.. How will people get bored of that and not get bored of Falling Furni 5 times a week?

Hababble is a different userbase than Habbox is. As a new and growing fansite, Hababble has a smaller group of users that are more closely tied in to the forum. That means they will take part in virtually anything. Experience shows, however, that a smaller percentage of HxF users dedicate themselves to a long-term competition which requires you to enter each round etc. That's why the HxSS is nice because you don't HAVE to be there for every event, you come when you can.

The reason for this is the primary reason Habbox users use the site and forum is for what we provide on a day-to-day basis. The Competitions and Events are a big thing for some, but for most they're just additional fun things.

The REALLY big thing the HxSS and Christmas things are for (and all the events) are to bring in new users and introduce them to Habbox. Once they're here, they usually stay for the content, not just the events.

We have tried bigger events like Big Brother before and they simply don't pan out because with the number of users number of forums and number of posts, its much easier to miss things (case proved by Prof-Alex missing the HxSS even though it was the top thread in announcements for two days :P). With Hababble its a smaller forum where you can view every new post on the forum in under an hour (well I'm guesstimating here, I don't actually use the forum but its what I've heard.)

I'm not saying we don't want to do big events - we do. But with a different userbase, we have to structure them differently (ie: something that people can all take part in but don't HAVE to show up for) which is why we do things like HxSS, B@S, Halloween Something, Christmas Bonanza, the thing over February Break, Easter Eggstravaganza, etc. etc.
