Would sierk be happy with Habbox?

Back in the day it was the Forum Manager's responsibility, I think they separated the roles as it was getting a bit much for one person to do or something.

You may as well remove Roxy from that list, too, because she pretty much only uses ACP to post notices as far as I am aware. Remove sierk as well, because he is obviously hardly ever online - but as the owner obviously he's going to have administrative powers. That leaves us with six administrators who access the control panel regularly with good reason. I don't think this is an excessive amount, based on average statistics from the last month, that gives us around 1 administrator for every 100 visitors a day. I think that's about right.

why remove admin powers from any of the list? it doesn't affect any of us? if there were too little then we might have a case but too many doing our features hardly hinders us, as in the users in any shape or form.

Well what would you like us to improve on?
It'd be more helpful if you gave suggestions :)

Just to clarify I was metaphorically removing them, so we are left with Administrators who use the ACP regularly to run some aspect of the Forum. I wasn't actually suggesting remove their administrative powers, because as you say, that would be stupid.

We have listened to feedback and we changed the whole department system in January. Maybe you just like complaining so much you can't see it, so I will list the changes instead.

- 40 competitions a month rather than 10
- Shorter, 5 minutes competitions rather than 'essays'
- More frequent (two a day)
- Shorter waiting time. 5 days rather than a month
- Removing colour from competitions (feedback suggested it was impossible to see most of the colours except red and... blue I think)
- Rep prizes
- Less 'technical' competitions, including removing the terms and conditions to a stickied thread (which was your idea).
- Pictures on competitions (another of your ideas)


I do not have a magic wand I can use so instead of saying it's a j o k e, tell me how to improve further and I will. I can't implement everything you say because there's normally a hundred and so reasons why I can't but to say it's a joke is just undermining the work the department has been through since January. And I'm getting rather tired of hearing it tbh, especially when your comments come with no constructive criticism to work with.

However, we are not perfect. It's almost impossible to be perfect. I agree with Jake's point. We take ages to give out prizes but we are aware of this and trying to improve! With the removal of the dropping furni in donation rooms, Habbo prizes take a while and this is regretable but out of my control, I'm afraid. As for rep/VIP prizes, we're making a vow of getting them done by the end of the week rather than the end of the month (as the system goes atm). On top of this, advertising is still rubbish so we will work on that.

There, I've finally said it. :)

Hardly any admins or SMods play Habbo. Not many members play it either (I for one).

Come on, one out of three aint bad! :P Still very much a Habbo addict here (as much as it pains me to say.)

Saying that, why would Super moderators need to play Habbo? There are other roles within the site that need Habbo involvement far more. Moderators are mainly forum based roles, not community ones as such, and as for members, hopefully they can still get the enjoyment out of the forum without playing Habbo.

Jin, Sam, Joe, MattG, Roxy are all on Habbo quite often too! :D


It is quite important that certain departments make their presence known on Habbo, but we hopefully are able to cater as a forum for those who do not play Habbo too.

The last poll on this which every member was directed to show that the majority still played Habbo. The Habbo and Trading forums are two of the more active ones, you just obviously don't use them. I hate when people say that users don't play Habbo because it just isn't true.

I'm confused. Why exactly are we discussing who should have admin powers? :S As Catzsy said, it's nothing to do with us. Besides, usually everyone is moaning about stuff not getting done, but the only effect giving less people admin powers can have, is to slow things down further. To answer the original question; I doubt sierk would be pleased with everyone nosing in on such issues :P

Regarding the comps, the pictures used are often tacky.
