I understand, but 5 hours week should be minimum as she is Manager and staff might listen to her to get tips and learn etc.Quote:

She does DJ, and she does it a fair amount. I've also seen her willingly cover on a number of occasions. If you guys want the department to improve, you cannot expect it's manager to spend a considerable chunk of her time DJing which requires absolute concentration and would remove the ability to fully conduct her other roles as a Manager. She does DJ, and she DJs often enough I think to show a decent presence. She also holds and runs numerous competitions on the Hotel. Managers do provide their staff with their knowledge and expertise, but they don't do this by doing the work for them. Jess does this in the form of extremely constructive feedback PMs (so there's the praise you were looking for, Glopy! And they get reports monthly, too) that are not easily constructed in a matter of minutes. Managing the department is taxing and Jess does it well, it is unfair to demand any more from her when I feel she already DJs a reasonable amount of time as it is.
Also, she's having internet problems at the moment and is therefore on reduced activity. Hence no recent DJ activity.
If she is doing it regularly then that's fine. I was under the impression it was just her Tuesdays chart show, that's why I commented. She must be a good DJ to get to managerial position, hence I suggested her DJing more might increase listeners as people have been moaning about the quality.Quote:

We need to be focusing on raising the overall quality of the department and all it's DJs rather than relying on the best.Quote:

The best DJs have to start somewhere, and honing DJ ability is a priority here.
How does a merge do it? Well not everyone liked when Habbo UK merged with the other hotels. Let's face it, Habbo has changed dramatically over the years and not everyone is going to stay. People come and go on Habbo, like they do on HabboxForum. So obvious there would be listener drops here and there regarding the merge and whatever else Habbo did.Quote:

I agree that HabboxLive isn't what it used to be for many of the reasons that people have expressed in this thread. Yeah we may have had 200 listeners on an average show but times have changed on so when you see the listeners in the high 80s/90s or even getting into the 100s-150s then that is still excellent. Looking at this graph and I'm guessing it's correct, we still have majority more listeners most of the time compared to other radios, I'm not saying it's like that all the time because I know it isn't.
HabboxLive Management is doing what they can to improve the DJing and it does seem to be working. Maybe a month or go you wouldn't of seen the listeners go past a certain mark and people were mentioning that in the staff forums and the feedback but now, it passes that X amount and we get really good high amount of listeners at certain times. Which really, is a good news right?
There is still need of improvement in the department and we all recognize that. Which we will try hard and work these little problems out. I’m sure we would all love to hire the best of the best in regards of DJ's but that is somewhat impossible in ways.
@nvrspk4 I love your posts, so don't stop.
Note: Thanks for posting the feedback thread. Always handy to have feedback and what not.
Note 2: Sorry for any mistakes in the post, woken up not that long ago!
I think another one of the reasons Jess isn't DJing is because her internet is broken, she can't DJ past a certain time (about midday I think), but she has been doing quite a lot recently.
Some of the DJ quality has perhaps gone down, but I still don't think it's as bad as you make out. We have some really good DJs and I wouldn't say that we have any bad ones as such. We have a feedback system where me & the other seniors comment on DJs shows, then Jess & Gemma send PMs highlighting what's good and what's bad about the shows. Since then show quality has gone up I think. Like people say, we can only hire who applies, and I think we do have a set of good DJs overall.
The other day I was DJing at about 10/11am, I found a party room and it filled (50 people) in the case of about 5 minutes. Everyone in the room was tuned in and there was about 70-80 listeners, meaning the majority actually went to the party room. I was astounded to be honest and I think that kind of proves that HabboxLive is still popular & still attracts a lot of people who do get involved by going to the party, etc.
I do agree that Habbo has had a really negative effect to HxL and Habbox as a whole really. People also aren't using rare values as much now because of the marketplace, so I think that has an effect too.
hehe bad example, sorry :PQuote:

As for the dropping listeners, that's true but if they were still going downhill then I think there'd be a problem but they have been going up. Just a fortnight ago, they were on 60/70/80 at peaktime when I tuned in but now they tend to be on 100.
Okay i'm going to be harsh and say I didn't read most the thread (but hey management right these massive paragraphs and ive just woken up I can't concentrate that much! pfft Garion,Nvr & Matt)
Habboxlive has a big issue at the moment were most of Habboxlive don't care sorrryy to put it bluntly.
Your right we don't have the big family feel we used to have, when I first started it was like a family and now habboxlive has groups and people being horrible and alltogether Habboxlive management don't see any of it because there blind and something does need to be done.
I have the biggest respect for Mattg and Garion as I know they will deffinatly try there hardest to fix it there trying already, asking for ideas checking things out etc. The biggest problem is that no-one cares they genrally don't, trying to get a cover is a nightmare and at the moment im finding it hard to DJ which means I have to refuse cover myself which I never do but my internets going down for sometimes two hours at a time and I can't get it back up.
Habboxlive is faling but only Mattg and Garion can fix this no-one cares enough to otherwise or those who do care can't help.
Sorry if this don't make sence but i've only just woken up and lol sorry for long post *contradicts maself*
Well thats the best feedback iv had all day, thanks for backing me ;D!Quote:
