Surely thats not the moderators fault but that of the whoms job it is to actually keep things like that updated when it is changed.

It was someone higher than a moderator :)

And I am told, I also have a user note as I posted "Buying Polar Sofas" in the Rare Forum and not Super Rare Forum. That's ridiculous. Surely the moderator could have just moved the thread and PMed me, didn't have to create a user note. Sometimes I wonder if its purely for their mod logs/reports which kind of makes Moderators want to issue warnings / user notes for the smallest of rule breakings.

When I was a SMOD I was harsh 'cause of the importance that was placed on infractions/usernotes, dunno how it is now though.

At this moment in time, they cant afford to be harsh.

Also, why should members stay if some department heads dont even reply to PMs/ideas?

I sent a PM with an idea to HotelUser/dogboy123, and got no reply. I had to go in HxHD and ask HotelUser to reply.
Considering they didn't reply, why should I send them any further ideas which I may have if I am not even going to get a reply - either good or bad. I appreciate they may be busy, but a reply with "good idea / crap idea / no thanks" doesn't take long. :s

I recently send a pretty important PM to both the manager and assistant of a department, of which only the assistant replied. I asked the manager - of which no response. As well as this, I sent a pretty long PM to a certain limey a while ago, of which no response. Each expressing certain concerns and ideas etc, it just bewilders me.

No idea tbh, I tried to reply to all PM's when I was management but you do get extremely busy (or you did at least).

Miss the days of Adzeh/Yum, although I still loved it when Ollie/Me ran News too, was awesome lol.

You know what, I hate to say it but this pretty much hits the nail on the head. The reason I hate it is because it means Habbox may need to start focusing on a much younger generation of Habbo users and I know a lot of existing members (myself included), won't exactly welcome such change with open arms as it means Habbox's image may have to become less "mature" if you like. Everyone keeps bangin on about Club Habbo and that site is definitely designed to be appealing to a younger audience.

Habbox's strife to avoid disappointing any of its members could be its ultimate downfall. Look at the likes of Habbo itself, they saw that their target market was getting younger and realised there were plenty of opportunities to be had in advertising etc. Meanwhile, the amount of customers obtained through the likes of fansites has pretty much reached its maximum potential, and hey presto, they have essentially just jibbed off those fansites as they are no longer valuable assets.

If Habbox is to grow, it needs to focus on the same audience as Habbo. That won't be nice for those of us who are used to the way Habbox is and always has been, but it may just be something we have to face. Either that, or live with the way Habbox is now, and stop complaining about it. Ultimately, it's down to what course of action Habbox management choose to pursue.

How can we be expected to keep new members when a minority of older members are very rude to newer ones.

A member that joined this month forwarded me a PM they had recieved from a Gold member earlier, it was horrifically rude and damn right inappropriate tbh, so with people doing things like that, I'm not surprised to see we can't keep members.

I was going to say that is shocking, but when I stop to think about it, it's not really. Just look at the Habbox Awards Nominations thread; in almost every post, the "Most friendly member" field has been left blank or says something along the lines of, 'there are no friendly members'.

Not intending a certain presidential cliché here, but it's time for change! :P

You had two for having threads moved. They were unnecessary, and I have deleted them both.

I am always open to suggestions and reply to every PM I receive, where possible. It's a shame that you have not received a response from everyone you have contacted, but some people are very busy.

hi.

Yeah, ironic of me to say this, but it's true. This forum declined heavily due to arrogance and oldfagism, thanks to members like myself being ******** to new members. There's little chance of recover.

Trust me, I'd love to help this site recover. If the community step together there's a chance.

Just we need to be a little more... modern lol.

Thanks. I know you have replied in the past every time, b ut unfortunately there are some departments such as HxHD where they just feel the need to reply for whatever reason. I appreciate they may be busy, but if they have read the PM, then a 2 word reply wont take long :)
