It has been said many times that we need a GM. The question is who? Habbox is failing. If we aren't given a GM who has the power to make changes PROMPTLY and without the need to seek higher approval Habbox can't be successful.
So vote in the Poll above and choose who you think should be the next GM.
No poll - but it would be nice if nvrspk would come back properly or let us know what is actually happening.
You got in before the poll :@
I voted Sam. Nvrspk4 is unrealistic. He obviously doesn't want to be / can't be here. Sammeth is one of the longest serving members of staff who is extremely good at his job and would have the balls to make some real change.
Sammeth or Garion I think.
Sam is "next in line" so to speak, he'd also do a fantastic job and is very active around the forums :)
Garion or Brandon.
Its obvious no one other than Sammeth would get it. This poll will have zero effect. The quick Sammeth becomes GM the better.
brandon is longer serving than Sammeth i think
Not entirely.Quote:

The poll won't do anything but Sammeth if anyone.
garion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
With deepest respects, its not about who's longest serving its about who is qualified to handle the workload. Though I doubt this poll would have much of an effect on the outcome if a general was to be picked. (BUT DW ILL STILL VOTE FOR MYSELF IF I BEGIN TO LOSE :@)
I'm wholeheartedly in agreement that we need a new General Manager. As much as I love nvr, whenever I've spoken to him (the last time was earlier this month) from what I've grasped its very very unlikely he will return. If he does it won't be to a role as extensive as general manager. The sooner we do get a permanant general manager the better, and I do hope it will be looked into.

Like I said, threads such as these are pointless as there is no doubt that Sammeth will be the next GM, and like I said before, the quicker, the better.
Sam without a doubt, we may not always see eye to eye, however he is bloody good at what he does and always has a high appearance around habbo and habbox which is what we need from a general manager.
Sam would make a fanatic general manager!
Jin has been aware of the need for a GM for sometime, and he's also aware Sam would accept the position.Quote:

Why was he banned?
---mad---
8freak8 was brilliant, he gave me my first manager role so obviously had an excellent eye (jks i gave him sexual favours). On a personal level though nvrs always been my favourite general manager, and probably my favourite staff member cus I pick favourites you see.
I'd prefer nvr to come back but if it was definite he wasn't then i'd say realistically sammeth
I have no favour to any of them. So I will post what I think on each of them. Just because I say no to you doesn't mean I'd be disappointed if you got the role, they're all good candidates and fantastic staff members. Firstly, I find this a bit disrespectful to nvrspk4 because I'd say he has put in more work and effort and has kept this place together time after time. I'd say he has done more than sierk and or Jin for Habbox and I'm sure others will agree. Obviously they pay the bills but you know what I mean.
Garion - No experience of general management. He has quit and come back numerous times as far as I'm aware when the going gets tough. I know he got annoyed as AFM last time and quit so who's to say when the going gets tough as GM which it will then he won't just pack it in. Saying this he's a friendly face and would be fantastic on the community side. Also, doesn't go on Habbo much.
Sammeth. - I thought he quit his role as community AGM so he'd have more free time. So why would he get GM if he couldn't cope with a bigger AGM role so downsized. There is a post on the forum where he said he took on staff editor so he had more free time. He has a full time job (I think) therefore I don't think he'd be suitable although he'd be fantastic on the community side of the role. Not on Habbo enough representing Habbox. Jin knows he won't be able to deal with any site issues like 8f8, ---MAD--- and nvr (limited) could and I doubt Jin wants to always be cleaning up.
Brandon - Again he has no experience of General Management and he was fired before, although that was years ago but wasn't he accused of giving out HxL details or something (might have the totally wrong person, sorry!) he's a lovely person and very popular. I don't see him post much any more but he wouldn't take it too serious and I'd be more than content if he got the role :) Doesn't play Habbo as far as I'm aware which I think a GM should.
infrequent - I think he'd actually be good. He is an AGM therefore is used to being General Management if only for a short period of time. He's popular. He can do community and the site stuff which so far none of the other candidates could - this is obviously essential. He posts around the forum a lot, he speaks sense, he can have a laugh. Again, doesn't play Habbo thus doesn't represent Habbox like a GM should.
MattG - If it was up to me, I'd pick him. He posts on the forum more than some of the above. He's a community man and can do the other roles too as he has shown in his versatility since he was made step in AGM. He actually plays Habbo on a daily basis which is good and he talks to Habbox users on the client and often helps with their issues. He's 16/17 - at college - a lot of free time. He always checks habbox before going to college and often in the daytime. He should be GM imo :)
I tried to give +/- of most people and they're just my opinions and my opinion has no weight whatsoever in choosing who will succeed Nvr. Whoever it is will be faced with obvious issues and it's important when it's announced that the users get behind whoever is chosen.
Yeah, I agree with you, Matt is a really nice guy, and I know for a fact he is very dedicated to his work here. :)
Why do we actually need a GM :S Yeah its good to have 1 person making all decisions ...
Just give all AGM's the power to make decisions on their own of the part of Habbox which they control.
Give the FM the power to make what changes he/she wants to the forum.
It's essential to have a GM. When I was AGM with Adzeh Joshuar and Nvrspk4 and ---MAD--- as GM, (when habbox was pop (jokes calm it)) we wouldn't really agree. The situation that springs to mind is reputation changes. I know I was the only one who opposed it and all the others wanted to make alterations to the system. If I remember rightly nvrspk4 wanted it a lot stricter than it is now even. We needed a GM to evaluate what we said and then make a final decision.
i love the way on clubhabbo if a user makes a thread and most people agree, an admin will post saying
yeah sure ill do that now and its done without consulting anyone...... and they dont wait till sunday
but its obv up to Skatchu for big big big decisions
lol weekly changes are the worst things ever. firstly, why sunday, day of rest, what would god say ;l also, if something needs done on monday do they wait til sunday :S most of the time nothing is done on the day anyway.
Every decision on Habbox is considered to be big :PQuote:

Also he's my friend and would obv give me a high ranking job or something if I lick his arse enough, I think that's how it works anyway
I'll vote the quickest to reply to my PMs so that's Matt :P
Voted for Sammeth because he was fair and real good at being community AGM, he also seems to be a good staff agm too and probs has the most experience overall.
We also need to point out that the comme 'Habbox is failing' is complete, and utter ********..
Radio: 171 listeners
I could bet my habbo account that 9/10 trades rooms if you ask what value site they use 'Habbox.com'
If I say: 87hc for throne, I can almost promise you the seller will say 'na 88'
Habbox isn't failing, the users think it is.
I voted Matt G - he is always around on the forum and the client, he can cover the site side and is a friendly face :)
That's what jrh2002 had. He had all the power to control the forum, mainly because he owned it :P He did an incredibly good job as the Forum Manager, and was realistic with his decisions.Quote:
