It's been said many times we need a permanent General Manager, but who?

Oh no, sierk is realistic 80% of the time, just some of the past decisions he had made were pretty lousy. If you seek common sense, it was best to talk to sierk (but he's not as active as he once was).

Dw, just a little talk haha.

I never really knewsierk very well, I joined but didn't really become active for months, and by then he seemed to be somewhat 'gone'.

MattGarner! - Professional and prompt. He's always on aswell.

I don't think nvrspk should be replaced or thrown out as its being suggested, hes been here years and hes just off at the moment, thats no reason to get rid of him. I don't like backstabbing.

nvrspk has said he won't be returning to Sammeth I think.

Sierk has made a grand total of two posts in 2009 so far. Presumably he's made a few more in staff forums but still.

HabboxForum is surely not profitable and he obviously gets no enjoyment out the forum because if so he would post. May as well just hand all the reigns to Jin or someone else as the forum would function better seeing as the GM issue could be addressed quicker.

Oh thats a shame then, well if hes not returning then I agree we need a new General Manager straight away. We need somebody who is the opposite of the past two General Managers before nvrspk4 - somebody who will relax the forum and get a community feel back to the forum, not somebody who will set out to impose their own rules and way of doing things on the forum. Out of that list I don't have a problem with any of them. I think the next General Manager should be voted in, and they should say what they plan to do if they become General Manager. I can't see any objections to that, unless there are hidden agendas.

I can't see he's made any in the staff forums, unless he's made some in the management forums? Also I've seen him online twice, both for 5 mins on invisible mode

but he doesn't have time :(

He actually plays Habbo on a daily basis which is good and he talks to Habbox users on the client and often helps with their issues. He's 16/17 - at college - a lot of free time. He always checks habbox before going to college and often in the daytime. He should be GM imo :).

omg lol, no offence to Matt but he isn't the maturist of users from what i've seen and heard and he is quite prone to picking favourites in my opinion at least. Sammuf all the way, or maybe even Roxy! would be nice to see a female and she's mature yet relaxed and approachable at the same time :)

Also he's my friend and would obv give me a high ranking job or something if I lick his arse enough, I think that's how it works anyway

lol it works that way most of the time and omg your sig ;l

It's not backstabbing lol he's been out of the picture for quite a long time now and it's affecting the whole of Habbox in an adverse way. I have nothing against him as he's always been a decent enough guy but that's not a reason to keep things as they are

That's what I thought but then you turned up

CMONNNNN SAMMETH MY MAN!

DAN LMAO YOU DID NOT JUST SAY WE SHOULD VOTE ON GM?!?! U R SO INSANE THIS IS NOT TIME FOR A REFERENDUM

Stop having a hidden agenda

anyway as far as i know the person who will be getting GM has already spoken in very early stages about it with jin but they want sierk on because obviously it's a huge decision and role

lol jokes but yeah i'd be happy with any of the mentioned they've been here for ages and know habbox well and would make a good gm imo :)

I just don't want another 8Freak8 or ---MAD--- who when you wanted something to change in the department, you had to jump through a thousand hoops to change something so small. Or as with the second example, if you questioned a decision you got banned. I don't think any of the list above are like that, but whoever becomes General Manager should post what they are going to do and how they will run things as soon as they gain the post.

That isn't true. I was a manager under 8freak8, ---MAD--- and Nvr, not many people were. I can safely say that ---MAD--- was the least interfering. They contributed where necessary but I always had the mentality the final decision was mine and they respected that. I think the issue now is managers aren't chosen in the correct manner, they need people with personalities, not clones, people who will actually challenge themselves and have a genuine desire to improve their department. I know this is controversial but just what I believe has happened.

---MAD--- was a control freak most of the time, the council never worked because of him and he took the blame and control of any problems within departments, making managers virtually useless. He is probably the main suspect for causing a rift between community and management. If he didn't, he sure jumped on the bottom and ripped it seam from seam :/

Yeah, I remember you being a manager when was General Manager too. People can say what they want about him but he did a far better job than what is being done at the moment. He knew how important it was to have Habbox big on the hotel, he played habbo actively, he made a Habbox casino which got popular, he got me to make sure all trade rooms had habbox.com in the names of their rooms. Things like this just aren't done any more. I know they're minor but that's what keeps things ticking, all the minor things integrating into Habbox itself. When each and every little thing gets eradicated from the formula it no longer works.

I don't think there is anything crippling, it could get that way because absolutely nothing is being done about getting and advertising it on Habbo again in my opinion. The things they do are just attended by already Habbox members and don't pick up new people and when they do it's on the basis "sign up or no prize" etc. They need senior people who play Habbo, last time I said that I was accused of trying to talk myself into a role, this is not the case. It's just what I feel needs doing. CH and HFFM have caught up easy because their owner and management are recognised and mobbed on Habbo because they are marquee names on the hotel.

I was lucky enough to be under 8freak8, ---MAD--- and nvrspk4 as a manager too (ooer), and I have to admit ---MAD--- did tend to be way more lenient in terms of control over the department. And I never really had much of a problem with nvr as we were pretty much on the same page with most things. 8Freak8 did leave a few months after he hired me, but from what I did do under his reign as General Management he seemed to have a lot more input into. Maybe this was because I had never been a manager before and wanted to make sure things went smoothly, I dont know. I just think the main problem is 1) Managers aren't sure what they do and don't need approval for and 2) There isnt someone active they can turn to. If things did need approving, that could easily be done within 24 hours if that if there someone there who you could instantly ask.

I have worked and managed departments under, Sierk, Properclone, 8freak8, ---MAD-- & Nvrspk4 and never had a problem with doing anything you just need patience as all limeys like to pick stuff part and throw in their ideas, which is great that is how it should be. Things used to go through departments quicker when we didn't have such a big (a)GM system, we just had managers and GM.

I think we need someone who is possibly older than previous ones someone who has the time and devotion to Habbox for the future. Obviously other big points such as being a good active friendly fun person is also needed. I do too want the Habbox old feeling back of fun and a close nit community, all i know is something needs to change.

Older? Sierk is pretty much Father Time himself, never knew properclone really, 8f8 is about 30 now and MAD/Nvr are like 18+ as far as I know

ps: I agree though because I'm really really old

Nvr's like 16? LOL and tom at your last post HOW RUDE!!!
Also MAD was a good GM in my opinion, he wasn't as harsh as people thought, you should get him on msn plus he used to DJ on HxL <3

---MAD--- is 18 and nvr 17, I thought. ---MAD--- was a legend, this is a fact.

Sam for owner i got my perms back he would be good as a judge

What where I don't imagine I would ever be rude and don't be a noob he's been looking into colleges and in the US of gAy college = uni he's at least 40

Jin only used this poll as a sole basis for hiring me true story.

Omg idea :D

We could make each of the top 3 voted GM for one week each (in January)

Then in the fourth week hold a poll to see who you think did the best job?

:)

A week isn't long enough lol, even stuff like events trials is more than a week.

I also disagree with the whole voting in thing, they should be picked by jin/sierk

Thread closed, we have a new GM.

Would just like to point out I was joking when I said Jin used this poll to decide, thought that was obvious lol. I bribed him.
