If sierk still used Habbox daily (I know he hasn't for years) - do you think he'd be happy with it? Why & why not? Yes, I consider this the right forum. :)
Maybe alot has changed but alot for the better imo :rolleyes:
Hmm, who knows as it's his perspective of things. I should think he'd like it though. Everyone thought Habbox was going downhill not so long ago, and I kind of agreed. But with applications being open for certain departments means alot more new staff members. I think the forum will be alot better now that there is new management aswell.
No, habbox just doesnt have anuf involvement in actual HABBO anymore, which is uterly stupid and if it isnt sorted soon the sites guna fail.
Sierk wanted habbox to be big on habbo and to be the most common fansite name on habbo, sadly it isnt anymore and tbh dnt think it ever will be again, the only thing keeping it going is values and even they are failing now.
Didn't Habbox get their popularity risen just from their rare values? I heard that's what made it such a well known Habbo related website.Quote:

HabboxLive could do with hosting more parties on Habbo, as a large amount of the listeneres are just there for the rare values. xx
no because there is not enough activity on the habbo site of this wonderful habbo fansite + its run to much like a business, not a fansite
and i still dont kno why habboxlive is sep from habbo.. should be habboradio or w/e
How would you run a fansite?Quote:

well i wouldnt have 3 different sites i would have one, i know the radio works on habbox but they should ditch the news on the main pages and add the radio stuff there
I totally agree. Habboxlive should be combined to habbox.com (this would also make it an OFFICAL radio which would help alot) and hxf should be habbox.com/forum making it an offical forum to which would help get people onto it. Having 3 seprate sites is silly to me, but thats just one little mans opinion.Quote:

@grig im not saying dump it, im saying move it from first page and if you still have the readers you claim to have im sure they will look for it if they like it so much :)

Fansite decline is inevitable and we are keeping our heads far above the water in comparison to other sites, things are improving in the short term based on statistics, we can hope things continue to do so.
I must say I agree he would perhaps be disappointed with our presence on Habbo itself, but again, I feel this is improving. I genuinely don't believe we're that terrible?!
its FANSITE week and we havnt even entered? i think thats terrible. Just opinion tho.Quote:

he said he wanted comps and events merged
I quite agree that is appalling. However, there may well be a reasonable explanation and I think it best we wait for an explanation before we tear people to shreds.Quote:

If he wasn't, would he tell the truth? :P
I know I labour the point that Habbox management don't use Habbo enough. We all have to remember that official fansites are voted by the Habbo players and Habbox has been #1 fansite and has been voted there for the last 12 months or so, maintaining their position like 4 times in a row.
Hi all, I haven't visited Habbox for a while. I am very happy to see the forum is still doing well, with a large active community. The website and the radio also seem to be doing very well. The layout is more fancy than it ever was before I think, and we have a huge amount of listeners.
I think Jin is doing a great job by introducing lots of new features, and making improvements everywhere. And he still has a lot of plans for the future!
I can't comment on how we do on Habbo, as I don't visit that anymore either. But the most important seems to me that we have a large group of users who enjoy visiting Habbox and that seems to be the case more than ever :)
And roxy and matt play habbo i see roxy on every day lol
@above
what a let down post lol
Glad to see you're happy :PQuote:

It was quite coincidental, he'd been online for a while this evening when this thread got posted, so I pm'd him a link to it hoping he'd reply and he did :)Quote:

Habbo are partly to blame for the lack of involvement, because they seem to be happy with the idea that fansites need not exist.
I never did understand the way they got rid of the fansite page, sure its a group now, but its harder to find ;lQuote:

His last visit before today was October :PQuote:

Do I think sierk is happy? Yes, because Habbox is still around. But that doesn't disguise the fact it's become steadily more bureaucratic, conservative, overstaffed and compartmentalised.
Visit or post Oli?Quote:

I think sierk would say something along the lines of this;
lol :P I don't have any person experience of sierk and what his hopes and ideas for Habbox were exactly but I think the fact that despite everything, Habbox is still going strong and is still the main player within the Habbo fansite community, is impressive enough. While everyone criticises and complains about it, it is still going as strong as ever - well, maybe not as ever, but still very strong :8Quote:
