The fact that event hosting is now open to all Staff members at habbox I think it's wrong that you're slamming the 17 or so events staff. At this moment in time anyone can host an event that is a staff member so surely this thread is having a dig at all staff and not just events. Tbh you should host an event Calum and host it on behalf of a number of different departments... :)
Loving the use of the word only here. 10 is bloody good! I seem to miss your events, will try and get down to one or two over the holidays :)Quote:

The department needs more than just a new manager to change things. I think timezone shouldn't matter as much anymore. HabboxLive used to be dead after 11pm now we have coverage through the night, building up international staff isn't easy but it is possible.Quote:

I made it SOOOOO clear in my OP that I don't want to slam anyone for what they're doing, I just think there needs to be some new ways thought of to encourage people to host. If you have some people like Elliot and Tyler (that Dragga's name, right?) hosting 10 odd events a week, where are the other staff? I would host an on client event but at the moment I am planning for the Christmas Karaoke which is involved in the Christmas Bonanza. I do my best to muck in with everything but sometimes it isn't possible :PQuote:

We currently have a staff challenge where our Eo's can win themselves prizes for hosting and in my opinion, we couldn't do much else to encourage more events to be hosted, especially this close to Christmas. Also, a number of the hosts host way more than what is expected of them but tend to do it all in one clump which means we are left with days where no events are hosted.Also taking into account the fact many people, and i admit to doing this myself, book their event on the day of hosting it and perhaps even a few hours before hand.
I'm sure the calendar will have more events appearing on it as the week progresses as staff are still required to meet their minimums.
Wait who books events more than like a day in advance..? I know I've been complaining past few days because of the amount of events leeching people from the hxhd so there's definitely been events going on I just dont see why people would book further into next week when they probably wont even know what they'd be doing. Also slating Hayden after he's only just gotten shoved into full management and having the large job of pulling together all the pieces for events advent calendar dumped on him is a bit unfair. I know he's attempted to make some small changes in the dept removal of things etc and hasn't had the greatest response from the staff, he's not in it just for the power he does genuinely care about the department although yes he can be a bit mouthy at times.
As for introducing a guest eo position what's the point? 3 events a month you're suggesting I'm sure the removal of guest dj's shows how this may end up.
oh and ps hxhd are doing a little something for the christmas bonanza calum if you want to look at cnb where things are being located x
Oh and there are 7 people officially posted away at the moment. Not using that as an excuse but that's quite a big chunk of the department that are not active.
It's sad :(. I know its Christmas and people want to spend time with their families and so on. It just seems to be the same people hosting over and over again and it just gets boring after a while. I think like i previously in a other feedback thread there should be a Guest Events Organiser role and have a perhaps 1 event a week either that or 3 events a month. That way people who have been ex senior+ events organiser can host events. Which means more events and it makes the events department look better.Quote:

Getting used to the role and learning what's what and how to do things takes time, especially with a big department like events. Also, is it not possible to raise the minimum number of events done each week for EOs? It's 3 a week isn't it? Which is pathetic... I understand that it can be hard to fund prizes but that shouldn't really be an excuse for not doing events as I should hope they have some kind of prize lending system for the poorer EOs to use.
Plus we really can't blame all of this on the other departments just because they're allowed to host as well. If we look at the bigger picture, there are always hardly any events. Like someone said (I think it was Sofi), other departments have been given the choice to host but it's definitely not their job. The idea is to advertise our own departments, not cover up the laziness (I'm sorry, but that's what it comes down to) of the events department.
The question is, would ex- seniors/events staff want to host events? And that's like making them an events host but changing the requirements just for them (instead of meeting the normal minimums set for all other staff)Quote:
