My opinion on Hxl Since 2006

I think HabboxLive just needs to be innovative and reach out to people. When myself and Nicki did our show on Tuesday we got 139 listeners which as far as I'm aware is very high in the current climate.

HabboxLive needs variety rather than just hour after hour of the same DJs playing the same kind of songs talking about the same kind of things.

I had three discussion topics in my show and each recieved a vast amount of shoutouts.

DJs saying that people request the same kind of music also talk rubbish, all our songs were requests and we ranged from Justin Beiber, Paramore and the Beatles. But yknow...

On top of that everything else said by Gen Management is right.

The problem is with the habbo userbase, a lot of them won't submit their time if they aren't getting anything out of it.

I don't think the fall in listeners is down to the quality of DJing if I'm honest. Like someone mentioned before, a few years back Habboxlive was hitting 300 listeners each show. It seems to me that maybe the listeners who used to listen and make up the 300 have moved on? Maybe they've quit Habbo, gone to university or whatnot. And the reason we aren't getting 300 listeners at the moment is because Habbo isn't exactly helping out the fansites. They don't broadcast them on Habbo so the people who play Habbo now don't hear about Habbox and think 'Oh that sounds good, I'll check it out'. I remember when Lost_Witness came on the radio, and we got about 600 listeners, this was before the merge, when Habbo was supporting fansites and letting them have their own news articles and such. And even before he came on the radio we had about 200 listeners anyway.

I completely agree with this, most of the DJs just play the UK Top 40 or songs that have recently been in the UK Top 40 but when we say play some variety, they end up saying 'we'll lose too much listeners blabla' but infact they lose more by playing continious UK Top 40. I mean if I wanted to listen to the UK Top 40 I would go to the official page, right?

Yours and Nicki's show was great the other day Oli, you created a discussion and even told people to post justin bieber is rubbish on the forums (legend) and had a laugh.

Another reason for Habbox itself being less popular is its staff. 8Freak8 was popular on the client and so were sierk, JackHb, Seacat etc. When they walked in a room, everyone was like ":o", now I doubt that ever happens with current FMs, AGMs and GMs in different rooms. It is a Habbo fansite and if your managers aren't recognised on the client, no one will listen to you and thus no one will care and thus no one will come on here. People used to register here because of DJ-3000, Anitar, JackHB, sierk etc.

To become popular again, staff need to own popular rooms - amazing games rooms which is popular a lot like takeshis etc. Give trusted normal staff rights and try and ensure the room is popular. Then when people see that room owner - so a HxHD management, they will be like :o OMGZZZ.

Also, its hard, but try and do big competitions on HxL and advertise it a week beforehand all over habbo and habbox and other fansites. Just put it on your signature on CHF and start posting, simples. Its what happened before for Throne competitions, it was advertised a week before everywhere.

The reason why you got so many listeners was because of two reasons:

You are the FM and because it was advertised on the Forum quite a lot. A lot of forum users who rarely tune in would have tuned in to hear you and Nicola. I rarely listen to HxL now but when Richie DJ'd for the first time, I tuned it, and would have done the same for AlexOC but he got fired.

And these days theres nothing to look forward to. its just another DJ show. i know events are limited due to lack in prizes, BUT H0BJOBS shows where free, everyone wanted to listen to danny because he gave us a Zing in the habbo world. Habbox had its only little Unique Djs who each had there own quality's, so all you people saying its not a big deal with the DJS tbh it is, i Listend to Jess and Danny ALL THE TIME because i loved there shows, the modern day habbox Dj is just a daul 18 year old female/male playing the same songs over and over again. ANOTHER THING I MISS wass the call in shows. over skype. but DJs arnt Bothered enough to put out to things like that.

Oh call in shows should start becoming part of HxL as there is now a new skype account for this purpose. Sure Jess will announce it somewhere.

good show,

no need for all this discussion

hxl used to be good. it's now crap. like liverpool. only senior management at liverpool realised they needed a new manager to improve
