Grow up..

No need to be rude, it was my opinion

molly told me i wasn't allowed to have fun in hxhd lol. not even joking she said "stop it" or something i was like "we're just messing about" there was nothing inappropriate and she said "i know but others don't want to see you having fun in a help desk".

anyway, wooo for news.

If it was on a monthly basis then I think it is fair to judge.

Thats a bit off topic and it wasn't cause of fun it was as it was inappropriate.

I havn't long been in the department, but I don't think that figure is anything to worry about really.

At the moment we have a very small team, but I do believe that the department is coping well. There have been management changes throughout the year, and this does affect things a bit. Staff getting used to the system etc, and also the amount of News that there actually is to report all makes a difference.

Thanks to the people who believe in us, and we will continue to bring you the best reports we possibly can, whilst maintaining quality of course. I don't think that many Habbo News articles are left out when it comes to being turned into a Habbox News report, and that surely has to be good?

I will admit one thing that does need improving, and we will be working on, is our International News reports. We understand that many Habbox users/guests are interested in News outiside the Uk hotel, and we will aim to give them some juicy reports too!

Considering the news department currently consists of about 3 people I think Lana is doing a grand job.

I haven't personally rated Habbox News very highly in the past year due to certain goals being pushed which kind of devalued the main ideas of the department in my mind.

However Lana (and Rob until he resigned) have really turned the news team around and it's very good to see the news team doing so well at the moment with so little staff

Kudos to Lana & the team!

The news department works hard. The 'writing' departments, such as news and articles, have a harder time imo as they tend to need more committment and can be seen like a chore (when you've done loads of essays, you don't want to write more, for example). Well done News Department, keep up the good work :eusa_clap

When was the last time we had an articles department, like October 2008? Loves you.

News is coping quite well. They've recovered nicley from the error they had which saw no posts being made for over a week, so taking that into consideration its quite a healthy number. Of course there is always room for improvement, and as they hire more people and expand the department more news will get posted.

Actually yeah they are doing quite well. There are still room for improvements but I have been looking at the new team that we have gained recently and there have been massive improvements.

Considering the problems we have faced with the news department earlier on this year regarding technical difficulties and staff shortages as well as the habbox.com downtime this summer.

I think the news department have done a bloody marvellous job.
