I agree with a couple of things being bolded but mainly it should be limited to some facts and figures - like you said something that sums the article up; the dates perhaps would just show how current the news is if we got it out quickly.

Another thing that annoys me about the news is that when people do dates, they end up including the year. Surely it's not needed unless we're talking at least a year back? That might just be me though :P Hardly a big issue :P And I was never born to be a news reporter I'm afraid :P

by the looks of it habbox will be on v7 until the last day of this site, so i see no difference

Well presumably if he worked on it for 1.5 year there'd be code, are you saying you asked and he said there was nothing or did no-one ask?


@Chippiewill;
what's been done so far?
are any parts of the system complete?
what's being worked on atm?
what's the next part of the system to be designed/implemented?
when is the estimated time to get it finished?
is there any deadlines or is it just do what you want when you want?

With that, sometimes I believe it's just to bulk it up more - we have a word limit for a minimum, plus I have weird quirks to put the year on. I guess I still had my Wiki head on when writing many of the reports I do :P.

It was not in a workable state or a state that was shown to anyone that gave that proof. To be honest, I don't even remember the full details of the changes David wanted or planned to make or even do.

So there was work done on V7 back in the summer, but that's been lost? Or you guys have it, but it was just crap?

It worries me if it got lost, because over the last few months I've had staff say to me "We've got the content ready to put out, just need V7 so we can release it" and then they've gone and left their department a few weeks/months later... Is there content still around? Because I wouldn't want V7 to actually get released but then no content to put out because it's been so long trying to sort it all out :P

The work in Summer 2012 wasn't lost. The work that might have been lost was when HotelUser wanted to make changes and merge HxL into Habbox.com - The first time round but the details of that is quite minimal and no one remembers what was done, what wasn't done and even if it was just a plan.

Oh look there goes your argument

Can there be an actual response to what's clearly a valid point rather than "cba" considering there are things that could be changed extremely quickly to attempt improvements and if V7 is as far away as it seems then it's certainly worth setting it back one more day to sort out some things that need urgent attention. Quite frankly it makes no sense whatsoever to lump all updates into one new version if it's going to take that long, and I for one would far rather see V6.352786 and have things doing well than sit around hoping that a new skin will fix all our problems

So basically david left and no-one asked him for his coding?

why do we have a forum skinner if he doesnt do anything anymore?
Plus the people who worked at the start and dont now why are they still here?
Surely your carrying dead weight
