What happend to Events?

They used to be posted in Calendar so you'd always know when evnets on when and it'd be posted daily in the "Habbox Today" section of habbox.com

now it just seems like its gone? nothing gets updated on calendar and last habbox today was on sunday?

shouldnt it like be updated every day as it used to be, as i highly doubt anyone on this forum is using the calendar to find out when mardi gra and such are taking place.

The only form of us knowing what events are on if they are on is when they are posting 15/30 mins before the event in announcements, and half the time it takes ages to get the event started due to a lack of people, probably as their not informed?

So yeah shouldnt managers be updating Calendar/HX Today or not? :S

I completely agree.
When me and David were managers of Events we made sure we were on top of it all the time, so as soon as an event was booked it would be put onto manager event planning calendar and the Official Habbox calendar.
Habbox Today was also updated all the time.

If it was updated, I might make time to go to more events tbh :P

BTW, No offence to Roxy / Lucy as I'm sure they are doing a good job, just publicising the event needs a boost.

Yeah but it was never used,
I think at one point we tried getting it to be moved to Habbox front page to make it noticed/used more but nothing moved on from there :P!

Really, HabboxToday at least should be used.
Takes a couple of minutes to type up and hit publish :P

I think that possibly was September lol :p.

Anyway I agree with the fact that the calendars do need to be updated more frequently, as the public can only know about 20 minutes before an event, which is pretty pointless as people may want to plan getting there.

The Habbox Competition and Events Calendar is going to be updated very soon :P I cannot say about HxToday though, that's more up to Roxy and Lucy.

Yup -blush- it was September. Anyway, like I said, this is basically in the process of being done it's just Mr.OSH and myself have been very busy recently with coursework deadlines/exams :[

We have just been talking about this. I have been half away from events as i have GCSEs next week so i have to revise a lot. Roxy's Habbox Today is broken and mine has just been set up, and well we have no excuse for the HxF calender. We decided we would input the March calender to the system and they come along and we will be doing habbox today as of 1st March onwards, sorry for any inconvenience and if you want to know any more feel free to PM me and/or Roxy

With regards to Events, I would like to see more of the remaining 430 HCs that I donated used and I don't think any of the 500 credits I donated have yet been used either, as well as the 500 credits jrh2002 donated. Please make use of them else donating becomes rather pointless.

I think they were planned to be used for the big events such as Love week, Easter Eggstravaganza, Summer Spectacular, Habboxween, Christmas etc.
But I think more big events would be better as well as it would add more excitement to events instead of the normal day-to-day events that happens now.:)

We can't give them out to people for every event, like they do at competitions because we have 1-2 events a day and we could never get enough creds or HCs for that amount of events. So like conz said we use them for the big events like Love Week, HxSS etc. We have used credits that was the prize for the overall winner of Love Week which has just gone. Believe me we do use everything you donate to the point where we have to cut back a bit! We are so grateful for both of your donations and can assure you it's not pointless!

@Skot ~ That's out of mine and roxys hands like you said Sammeth. deals with the finances of the Events Department! :D

We have had big events in December (christmas events), January (Back to School events) and February (Love Week). There will also be even more events coming up for Easter.

Yeah,
Really Sammeth. should be doing his job by giving them out when the winners were announced.
Maybe the managers need to PM him or someone from the 'community' pm him.

Big events is fine, as long as they get used then that's excellent. I did read Love Week, some 400 credits were given as prizes, and since no names were mentioned of who donated, I can only assume they were not mine or jrh2002. As in the past donators always get mentioned, after all that's what also helps others to donate too. You have to speculate to accumulate ;)

I swear sammeth said in a thread they were Jhr's but we are planning other events soon where both of yours will be used. Also there is the HxSS which isn't that far away which is kinda scary since it seems like only yesterday when i was hosting my little events. Anyway your donations are greatly appreciated and used in the best way we feel they could be! Of corse if you want anything else done with them Roxy and I would be more then happy to hear from you :D!

@Scott ~ Sam does have other things to do and i know the prizes are very important aswell i will send him a PM now and try and get them to you asap :D Thanks for your patience.

No name of donator, other than the trophy.

I really don't mind how the donations are used, but I and jrh2002 would like to know when they are used, we don't need accounting to, just an acknowledgement of their usage, particularly when it's large amounts, it helps us to know they've been put to good use, and speaking for myself would donate again, if I could see that.

As you remind me every single time I log onto habbo, and every day on MSN, I am fully aware you don't yet have your prize however I have explained countless times why this is. It is my fault, and I do apologise and as I have said previously, you will get your prize.

As I have just said, I'm fully aware of the prize situation however it's not always as easy as it should be and you need to understand that although we try and deliver prizes ASAP, it's not always as simple as that. I appreciate your concern about me not doing my job though.

After a rush in getting the thread out I did neglect to mention who were the donators, and I will make a new thread soon to clarify the situation.

Usually I try and PM people about large donations when they are going to be used as a little update, however very pressing things inside and outside of Habbox have been top priority for me at the moment.

On the prize front people need not worry, all winners have their trophies and the runners up have their prizes however I'm just waiting for the rest of the prizes, seeing as if I don't have them I can't deliver them.

Well at least this thread has highlighted an area that needs attending to, as for myself there is no need to send me pm's all I want to see is my donations used.

Sammeth. is obviously very busy, he has more concerns than just events. He does his job very well and does his best to get the prizes given as soon as he possibly can. Theres no need to say he isn't doing his job as he obviously isn't superhuman (as much as he argues he is ;)) and can only do his best.

From what I am aware your donations are being used and we are very greatful for them. I think Sam offered to PM donators so they they know when their donations have been given away as you requested. :)

I wasn't saying he isn't doing his job as he obviously is. I was saying he should of done the job at that point of which he had to hand out prizes and he has now replied to that explaining how he was caught up in things and has apologised about forgetting/taking so long. So there was no need for you to bring it back up (;))

Hopefully now the calendar and Habbox Today will be used again and more advertising will happen.

Yes there was because there was no need for you to personally attack someone in a thread which was only made to improve habbox. I was just saying what I saw which I have every right to do.
On a brighter note Lucy and Roxy have obviously taken this thread on board and are now going to do the calender so well done to them both! :)

Mr.OSH

Just as an update - the events calendar is currently being sorted out and revamped along with a lot of pages on the Habbox site. This would be sorted by now but I've had some permissions issues as of late. As for the HabboxToday announcement I agree and hopefully we can keep on top of HabboxToday from now on as from time to time it does get forgotten about unfortunately.

Thanks. :)

Falling back into old habbits;

http://www.habboxforum.com/calendar.php

theres been about 4-5 events this week, none of which are on calendar... and every event has lasted 1-2 rounds then been completely empty due to people not know when there are events, this isn't helping..
