Is the DJ timetable refreshed (as in slots cleared) on a daily basis or a weekly basis? And if on a weekly basis - if a DJ just hops on, is it not recorded in the timetable on HxL? I was curious to see uptime and there are massive gaps in the timetables that seem too huge to be true...
Timetable is locked at 12am each morning (for the previous day)Quote:

Our uptime for this month so far (including covers and missed slots which are reported behind the scenes) as of Sunday at 11:59pm is
449 hours out of 480*
*20 days multiplied by 24 hours per day
Not the best, but it's not diabolical either
I believe the timetable gets refreshed/cleared on a daily basis of that day which has just been. The DJ must book via the Panel to show on the timetable, if the DJ just connects to the server it won't show on the timetable however i believe its recorded somewhere.Quote:

i say we get a new habbox site and merge it with the radio like habbox.com is
habboxquests.com or habboxarticles.com (which is basically the quest site, dnno what it's called)
How about v7? :DQuote:

Oh that's indeed super reasonable. Was just looking at days that were 3/4 empty over the past few but the daily refresh explains it :DQuote:

It seems like the permanent shows with a clear theme that people knew would be on and the DJ had a pre-set theme to talk about rather than having to make crap up.
Ideas like a Dear Abby themed hour (with a funny person giving advice), a joke show, a country show, even two characters who squabble in a funny way (I think once I did a show with a manager where they kept "getting in trouble" on the radio and I kept threatening to throw them off). Just thoughts, entertaining things that keep people tuned in for more than the music (and prevents them from tuning out bc they don't want to miss the next bit.)
Might also be worth mentioning that all DJs must have two slots booked on the timetable somewhere by 8pm on Monday. Failure to do this and they get a caution. We think of it as a sort of activity check but it also keeps the timetable booked up.Quote:

For this reason, I'm concerned at the idea of introducing more requirements.Quote:

I like the idea of doing some kind of drama, how do we think that'd go down? Maybe only an hour a month or something but an idea nonetheless.Quote:

Thanks for the suggestions though, +rep :)
Perhaps you could create some kind of a competition for ideas for a show? Either internally or among the members? Sure there will be some swings and misses but some will take. Also as far as two people chat show, we all have the friends where we say "your life could be a sitcom" - those people put together on air ensure hilarity :P Often you don't even need to plan it - I think Jess and someone used to do that show and I know Adzeh and Angel-Light used to do a joint show as well, they didn't even have to plan they just jumped on air and had a conversation with each other and the audience.Quote:
