No Christmas forum this year? I swear there was a Christmas and New Year forum last year..? :S Meh.
Not that I can remember, anyway, there are forums such as "Discuss Anything" which suit the need perfectly :)
clubhabbo have one. lets go there
Yeah I thought there was one too but it doesn't really bother me.
Well done for bringing this up nice and early :).
Naughty naughty saying other fansites names :( Well anyways, I don't remember anything about a Xmas & New year thread or whatever. Maybe we should get one? It could involve all different sub forums like "What are you getting for christmas" etc. :DQuote:

I think the Discuss Anything forum is a suitable alternative considering there's only 12 hours left to go. Personally, I haven't seen that many christmas threads this year anyway
cause there is no forum
Oh right, cool :).
I knowww nobody is being very Christmassy are they! :(Quote:

but as we all know habboxforum management has gone rapidly down hill apart from Jin whos a legend.Quote:

Bit late for this thread isn't it. I'm sure Discuss Anything can handle the Christmas and New Year threads for now, considering its Christmas Eve. Wouldn't it a waste to put the forum in now?
Let's be honest here.
Mostly, users have been saying we have too many forums therefore why would we even consider adding another one?
In this current climate, I think an individual forum would look quite dead and I don't know what forum you've been posting on because I've seen quite a few christmas threads :P

These are just a few i've found searching around, people have been posting about christmas but come on, the above in just one forum?
And I think it's outrageous that forum management are being slated for not promoting Christmas.
Have you not seen Habbox Forum's 12 days of Christmas? Which has been giving away (literally, very easy questions) over the past 12 days?
That was run by Management, maybe it wasn't posted at the right time and I really disagree that infrequent requested all competitions like that would be posted in a stickied thread as I think that detracts attention from them and they'd get more attention in individual threads but still.
I think we've done very well to promote Christmas this year, it feels as though we just can't please anybody?
All we'd get from doing each one in a stickied thread is other more important announcements shifted down and people seeing threads with almost identical titles. At least in one thread, people know where it is. And I think if someone else was to say how to do it they probably would've said to do it in the same manner. If you wanted more attention for it, you could've added a link to your sig rather than your sexy santaQuote:

Anyway that's not the point, my point was that Forum Management have done things to promote christmas.
I am outraged and all Christmas posts by myself will now be posted on Clubhabbo. Disgrace, I tell you.
Why do you have to post like that? Bolding words and stuff just makes your posts seem really derogative. No wonder people don't suggest anything.. :rolleyes:, and then, when people do you're either insulted by it or just simply overlook it. I know it's been left a bit late, but it's been posted and suggested and perhaps it should be considered next year, or when other important events occur.Quote:

I'm not attacking anyone or anything, but this place is going down hill because the community that used to be here has just broken down... there is no community anymore.
No-one sees things in the eyes of other people anymore, it's too much of a dog eat dog forum... everyone's turning a bit too selfish to make this place a community and I'm sure, that most of us are fed up of it, if it doesn't stop, I think that some of us won't be here for much longer. Some empathy needs to be added to this forum before there is no forum because no-one will be here soon.
kk just my opinions so dont stab me. fnks luv u all
If you read replies to Danielle's post by myself, infrequent & MattGarner you'll see that it wasn't treated as an insult, we just said it was left too late.Quote:

And I format my posts because the formatting tools are there to be used and it gives more of a feeling to the post :)
fair enough about the formatting tools, but when you use them, it changes the tone of a post and makes it seem very... obnoxious and rude. :) i'm not the only one who finds your posts derogative and "stuck up", so please don't think it's just an error I am making ;)Quote:

I think I speak on behalf of most people here, but the majority of us are made to feel small and this is not how it should be in an environment like this, this is forum, a community and we are all equal. :)
I will defend people who I believe have worked hard and get nothing but criticism as that is only fair.Quote:

Some people then decide to jump on the "Forum Management are dreadful" bandwagon and I feel that Forum Management deserve backing up to some respect, and if this is my belief I am going to do it.
I have nothing more to say on the matter :)
To be honest, the Christmas forum never even came into my head. I do remember a forum last year for it because I posted in it. I'm sure people will make sure there is one for next year. But for now, I'm sorry that there isn't one and it's a bit late for it to be made. So I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
At the same time you must remember that people are entitled to their opinions and when you post seemingly snotty posts makes their opinion disappear and seems to no longer be appreciated.Quote:

That's a better reply than I was expecting, +REP for a post that actually is considering other people and doesn't make other people feel small or inferior. merry christmas too :)Quote:

Merry Christmas.
Ignore them, it could be a lot worse and I thought that as a super mod you'd know to ignore the negative posts that really aren't constructive, so just ignore them ;)Quote:

Indeed. Yes, people have been saying cut down on forums, but this one is only a temporarily one lasting approx 20-25 days.Quote:
