Seriously? I thought most of the money made from habbox would just go into hosting and stuff and all the staffs work would be because they wanted to help and stuff.

Assistant Managers, Managers, General Managers, Admins and (I think) Super Moderators get paid. Not too sure on the last one, might be missing a job or two aswell. Thats how it was when I was a manager anyway.

Managers got like £1 or £2 a month and General Managers got like £6 a month. :P

You could also choose VIP instead of money.

It's something to do, Quite a nice little thing to be doing aswell. Generally alot of "Internet work" is volunteerary, I'm sure most staff didn't sign up to be payed it's just something we enjoy doing. The fact that management / higher staff get payed is just a nice little bonus I'm sure :).

Habbox has a lot of staff. If they gave VIP or 1pound to everyone they'd loose a lot of money. When I was a manager I had the option of 1 month VIP or 1pound. I took the VIP because I didnt have much use for the money. So you can get VIP. The rest of the money made by the sites would go to paying for hosting services. This costs a lot as there are quite a few sites relying on it.

To be honest with all the extra tasks you do and responsibilities you have as a manager or higher the little payment is a nice little bonus.

They didn't when I was a Super Moderator. They had a thread but it disappeared after a while... Although £1 a month was hardly very appealing to me anyway, so I really didn't care. I didn't moderate for money.

Only if you are in it for money, Moderators never are.

From what TomLegend told me, the income from Habbox Ads and Habbox VIP barely pays for the server costs, which are in excess of £250 per month. So very little, if anything, is made from Habbox.

How on earth would it that much? I did notice that the radio caters for 400 listeners which seems very excessive - quite a few are just people clicking on the .com home page and in any event they get nowhere near that many. Costs could be trimmed I would think. Anyway I don't personally think it is our business to ask - its Sierk's personal information.

When I worked here, Sierk was still having to pay his own money towards running it as the income didnt cover the costs.
And he never pocketed any for himself.

So before any of you start accusing him of anything, check the facts and think about how much it actually costs to run a forum and site as big as this.

I never got paid once when I was manager lololol.

To be fair Jack I don't think anybody is accusing him of anything but it's his own personal business and not really anything to do with us as I see it. :)

Admins don't get paid either. ;) (At least I don't)
Then again I wouldn't want to be paid for what I do, I do it because I enjoy it and I worked hard to get to this position through volunteer work.

I glanced at the payment thread in the staff forums but haven't bothered claiming anything, I don't have any form of internet-money account and I quite like my maroon staff username :P But I know its there if I want it, and am very grateful for the opportunity. To the person who said "its only £1," I signed up the job originally on the premise that it was voluntary, so anything is far better than nothing!

Cool, but how much does sierk actually make?

You're a super moderator before an admin, and if smods get paid, admins should aswell. :S Are you sure?
13-11-2007, 08:33 PM

I havent claimed a penny either. Its a voluntary job. But having said that Ive had my VIP for like ages when Ive only paid for a month. One of the options of payment is 2 months free vip, so I guess Im not doing any harm -innocent-
13-11-2007, 08:45 PM

I took the free VIP option when i was a manager but im still owed like 4 months VIP

SMods were never paid for the entire length of my service as a Moderator. :)

Nothing , Habbox+HabboxForum costs too much to run to make money out of it.
Anyway £1 is actually more than enough seeing as not many sites pay their staff let alone Habbo related one , All the money will be comming out of sierk's pockets and I doubt anyone actually applied for a job so they could make some money out of it.

Sierk never started this site to make a profit. Sierk has pumped his own money into this site for several years, and i have to agree with Catzsy, it is Sierks personal business, but suffice to say if staff were to be paid, then the money would come out of Sierks pocket, if the site makes financial gain i am sure Sierk will put the money to good use, whether he gives staff a treat or makes improvements, but trust me he does not have this site for any financial gain!

Anything i got offered when i was staff here i declined! I did not do the jobs that i did for gain either!
