Wire It Up

Okay, so I suggested this to MattG but I haven't heard anything of it.

With the current video competition on Habbo, you are asked to make a video tutorial showing some stuff on the newly released Wired Furniture.

The kicker is:

Quote:

---

We will pick the winning videos based on which ones get the most views on YouTube!

---

Now, I think this would be a great opportunity to get Habbox into the community. Why?

PRIZES:
The directors of the top 20 videos will each receive 1 month of VIP, a badge -- and they will have their videos displayed on their Habbo Homepages for two months! Staff Selected "Honorable Mentions" might also be picked for this competition.

---

Might not be that great of a reward. But imagine this:

Habbox does a video for the competition. They then make a forced-to-read announcement or something so that every visitor to the forum sees it and has a quick look. The amount of users checking it out will boost the view counter up and up.

Now, I think Alkaz should send it in under his name... why? Because his name starts with "A" and therefore, it would be at the top of the page (usually). He would transform his HabboHome promoting Habbox and blah blah blah.

Of course, if you don't get top 20, you lose a few credits that were spent on your homepage.

I don't see why this doesn't happen. Feel free to fill me in why this wouldn't happen though.

I actually think this would be a really good idea, i think we should do it :)

That's a really bright idea Josh :)
I think we should do it, if possible.

I think it's a good idea.

Does Habbo.com work on a basis of 0-9 then A-Z then symbols? or do the symbols appear first. If the symbols appear first then -Danube- or -l-iam would be a good participant.

However, does it have to be someone who is in a senior position? Going back to the alphabet and such if they did 0-9 first, wouldn't 1cred OR 9y(the addict, bet he could get people to watch.):D be the best person for the role? I know you would have to ask her and anything. But I don't think that the name matters, it's most probably who submit it or anything close to the due date. That tends to happen a lot if you get me.

Not sure to be honest. I just assume they go alphabetical so they can say "Order isn't based on views." Then again, they may do it for views.

This idea is just about void now anyway, they've left it go too long... Competition ends soon.

It is a good idea. I think if we get someone to make the video or help with it who knows about wired furniture then we would still have 4 or so days to get views on it. Not many people will have the power to get as many people to view their video like we could have so it's still worth a shot? I've just had a look on youtube and the highest viewed video I've seen is a a little over a thousand. I'm sure we could still do a lot better than that.

Better get a move on to be honest.

Well if you think about it. Habbox made ExtremeHabbo official. I'm sure they could get views on a video!

Has anything happened with this yet? It's a prime opportunity and the clock is ticking, as they say :P

I assume nothing. I just hope they don't waste this opportunity.

I fear it's too late, but in future they should try to keep on top of these opportunities.

*sigh* another oppertunity that seems to be being ignored by management :(

Too late, done :P
Guy in first place only had 662 views too.

That's a real big shame, it would have been really useful.

OH yes that one was the halloween party.

Got the weekend to do it then, crack on :P:P

Yeah, I think this would be a good opportunity, and it would be great if it could be done! It's this type of thing we need to look at doing, and getting the Habbox name out there in competitions etc. The advertising would be good I guess.



Off topic;

I made my own video wooo! (I suck at making videos!) :D I made another the other day but it was too long! :( (although looking at a lot of other peoples videos they go over the time limit.) ;)

Hmm, this is a great opportunity for Habbox and would be horrible to let it go to waste. Get going mgmt! ;)

Haha, I didn't make it purposely for that, it's not really my place and would be up to general management I guess. I just made it because I was bored and stuff. It's really rubbish, but I don't mind if they wanna use it/do something with it xD As mentioned it would be good for advertising I guess. thanks though xD

The only thing I'm proud of is that it's bang on 1 minute 30 (the maximum length) :P

It's the only one we have from management so it's better than nothing.

Martin's looks fine to me! Get a notice up and get it advertised :D

LOL aww thanks xD


I still don't know what General/forum managements opinion on this is anyway, but will direct them to the thread just incase xD

I actually wouldn't care what they thought just for the prime reason that it's a good opportunity. It's a shame how it doesn't look like it's been noticed by General Management so good one Martin.

Deadline: Monday November 8th, 12-noon EST
(that is 9am PT, 5pm UK, Tuesday 12-midnight Singapore, 3am Sydney)

You ain't going to have much time left.

Just so everyone's aware, Martin has let us use his video and I shall sort out all the promotion for it shortly! If you'd like to watch it, click here.

don't think this has been executed properly but would've been a fantastic idea had management been on top of it originally.

Should be a force-read thread; whether people like it or not. There is a small, dismissable notice up the top which most will just ignore.

Why is that? Well the notice could have been a bit better and actually had the video in the notice.

It could be a bit bigger and annoying like all the other notices :P

Should have been bigger, with huge banner etc, hardly noticeable.

Also you should have put it on the Wired Message as you enter HxHD, saying something like 'Need help on wired furni, watch this video"

I remember Roxy telling me it's in her pool wired message (which she got full) and also asked MattG to change the HxHD one. Just checked; no change.

It's been changed now :)

I've been going round some full noob rooms advertising link, you need loads more hits :/ some vids have like 2000
