Habboxlive
The radio lacks quality. The lowest bitrate staff can stream at should be updated, it isn't 2006 any more. Every presenter should be capable of streaming a bitrate of at least 96kb/s. Sam Broadcaster 2 & 3 are out of date, upgrading the software to the latest version isn't going to create problems if anything it will open more doors. Did you know with Sam Broadcaster 4 it's even possible to stream skype through one of the decks live without having additional programs such as virtual cables. You have more options to make your microphone and music sound richer and more professional. Lets be honest every presenter uses an illegal version of Sam Broadcaster and if the problem is finding the software to download it's an easy find. You could stay at version 2 or 3 until habboxlive closes but upgrading it gives presenters more features, the software isn't as glitchy as previous versions and overall it would be more helpful. You could even think about installing Sam Broadcaster 4 onto a vps and have a bunch of music saved onto the vps. That way presenters could login to for example www.habboxlive.com/live and broadcast without having software even installed on their system. As technology advances so should the radio.
I never really understood why the radio had its own website, when i was staff i wanted the website to be its own but when i think about it, it doesn't make sense. If presenters advertise habbox.com on habbo and scrapped the actual habboxlive website, listeners will see other content on the website which they may enjoy and explore it a little more. That's how i found out about rare values and habbo news when i started. If i was listening through habboxlive.com i don't think i would of started to use habboxs rare values, go to the events or even join the forum. Fair enough habboxlive did have a website at different stages back then but it was out of chance that i decided to listen to the presenter and actually visit habbox.com. When the presenters are advertising habboxlive.com it's just advertising their own department but if the only way people could tune in was through habbox.com it woulddefinitelyhelp other departments.
Irememberwhen i would say "the radio was so much better in previous years" which it may have been for me but that isn't to say the radio is at it lowest peak of all time because the radio may havegottenworse, habbo aren't doing enough and even they're losing their users so it isn't entirely the radios fault. I believe habboxlive can do so much better if small changes like above are made. No-one likes change but it's needed and after a week or so people will get so used to the changes that they will haveforgottenthe changes were made.
Giveaways helped the radio so much in the past but after a number of years they got boring, the radio needs something new. Perhaps the habboxlive team could brainstorm ways on how to reward people for tuning in because i don't really have any suggestions. I think a little bit more could be done on habbo too i never see Jess or Scott on habbo anymore, fair enough both of you are gettingolderand may have more important things to do but if you can't be bothered to go on habbo and help make your department better then maybe you should leave your position to one of the head djs who will care.
I know i sound like a totaldouchebut it's the truth and if this feedback means both of you will have a grudge against me, so be it :P.

Events
When i first joined habbo and found out about habbox events through the radio it was one of my all time favourite things to do on habbo, play events whilst meeting new people and trying to become rich at the same time :P I don't use habbo as much as i did back then but if there was more advertising about when events are on and what time they're on i would consider popping on and playing. I don't use habbox.com too muchany moreso perhaps targeting people from each corner of the site would be a good idea. I use the forum, listen to the radio the odd time and go on habbo now and then. Maybe i am just blind but i never hear mention about events happening. It was really good a while back because a lot of the events team were hxhd staff so they'd advertise it while in the room. Maybe for events you could have a side bar which you can close (like thecharityfund bar) that has the latest events and when they're on. Then when the event is happening the the person couldreceivea notification of some sort.

The help desk is like one of the only rooms i go to when i am on habbo. The help desk is great place to justpop inhave a chat then go offline but a lot of the staff seem to sit at the front bar for a few minutes then go to the seats at the back a go afk. Maybe people are misusing being able to go afk behind the bar or maybe theygenuinelydo have violent diarrhea. I don't agree with staff being able to go afk behind the bar because it could just get misused. I remember when david was manager they were told to go into the teleport and go afk in the other room, maybe that's a better option. Perhaps you could add a new role for the staff, where as part of their job they need to advertise an event before it starts. I don't think there are that many events in one day so it wouldn't really be a problem.

Forum
That new duel thing is a terrible update, sorry to whoever suggested it but the forum is a bit of chat a banter that's why I'm assuming the arcade has its own section and it isn't in every other post. I personally think the feature should be made an arcade game and people can invite their friends to play with them or something, it just doesn't make sense to me. I posted a huge rant the other day about swearing, spoilers and how everything should be reviewed on context rather than just removing it because the rule is all for one.If everyone has the same attitude "nO tHreadz SoO boreddd" there really isn't going to be any new threads, so people should stop sitting and waiting on others to spark a discussion and do it themselves. Loads of people i have spoke to always say to me "No I'm not going to bother 'cause people will think my threads are stupid and insult me" the mods are there for a reason and if people think their thread about hamsters or how diet coke makes you fat, you should see the amount of crap i post.

I didn't post this thread to point out the obvious, we all know habbox isn't at its peakany more. I'm just giving my feedback and maybe the managers of each department will read this and see if they can do something i suggested. Oh and by the way i only posted about departments i mainly use so to the rest of the departments you got off free this time but i'll catch you soon :P.
Cheers for reading,
Rich.
