Just a question is version 7 coming this year??? Cause like its been months since people said its coming soon
simple answer, no
probably not
it was never actually coming, it's all a big ruse the coders made up to entertain themselves by watching the forum go mad over it
Would be nice to see some actual snippets of it if it does exist.

i have a question
it was meant to be released months ago (as advertised, unless it was all a joke no ones in on except coders), but !-ben-! leaked it. why was it started all over again from scratch?
Tom over estimated the time it could be finished by and high hopes. Not everything was started from scratch, the people who leaked anything was looking at a design and not any features or back end. The design was changed and that was all that was changed at that time.Quote:

You do make a good point to be honest. I know it means we are having to use V6 even longer than planned and I know it annoys anyone who tries to use it the site back end or even front end. But if we can release with very little issues or bugs then that's a big bonus in my eyes.Quote:

Technically if version 7 was scrapped and you restarted all the work, that would be version 8, would it not? It wouldn't surprise me if someone that's working on it broke off from the group and developed their own design and got it released, hence version 8 being before version 7.Quote:

Well it wouldn't have to be known as Version 8 because that means we would have jumped from 6 to 8 without a 7. We'll keep with the number 7 for the time being haha :PQuote:

What do content designers actually do?
he got himself permed from most places so doubt he's still around hahaQuote:

But anyone can change the wiki? So why are they staff?Quote:

Write all the information on the Wiki and the main site, check all the spelling, layout pages, update images (apart from in the rares bit). Basically everything that isn't coded or graphics, we've done.Quote:

EDIT: although anyone can edit the wiki we have to look over everything and make sure it's right, we do the majority of updates on there though. We basically have more of an 'admin' role whilst people usually just add information.
Can you point me to any new content on Habbox.com?Quote:

I just updated the /Safety page, there's not an awful lot of NEW content because there's not much to add, it's just updating and checking everything that's there. There is a few new things which we've written for V7 though!Quote:

I assume you are clicking "Random Page" or whatever that button is called. Of course it would bring up content that is Habbox and Habbo. The Wiki is for both :PQuote:

And the bit in bold is my problem with the whole Version 7 thing, for some reason it's causing everything else to be stopped. Why? Why can't new content be released in version 6? It means the current site is just gathering dust really.
The new content that I've written will take an age to update on V6, because it will require different graphics to be made and more coding added which is just a waste of time for a site that hopefully won't be up for much longer.WQuote:

there's far more pages about all the aspects of Habbo, but we never talk about them on here really, the only contested ones in Feedback or whatever are about Habbox people.
Besides, we have nearly ALL the information ever released about Habbo (well we will do) and nowhere near that about Habbox, it's just a summary really, especially seeing as individual people's pages haven't been written yet. It's up to the GMs and the Content Manager to decide how much information to put on, and because it's owned by Habbox they thought it would be nice to have a history of the fansite. Yeah, it's biased because it's owned by Habbox but that's the case elsewhere too. If someone wanted to come along and write a page about every ClubHabbo owner/manager ever I'd personally be fine with that but the thing is we know NOTHING about them.
I just think that Habbo content should take priority, since outside Habbox users will be looking for information on Habbo on a HabboWiki, rather than Habbox.Quote:

This isn't about the wiki so much, it's about why V7 is making content designers not do anything with content on Habbox.com really (and therefore content designers focusing on just the wiki...)
There's two of us working on the wiki. We're trying to do everything. I've spent this weekend going through a lot of Habbo pages and updating them, double checking information but I have to do what the manager tells me to really. Most of the basic information on Habbo has been finished now, it's writing each Rares page which is taking forever. I'm currently doing all the Idea Agency furniture because I know quite a lot about that campaign but it's not easy finding information like that.Quote:

We're not just focusing on the Wiki. Some content designers CHOOSE to solely work on the Wiki, some do just the site, and some (me) do both. If it's not about the wiki why are you bringing it up so much? We are updating content on the main site (I've already told you this), just not taking extra time out of everyone's lives to create a big change for something that might be there for a month, maybe two. What I'm talking about in this case is the Public Rooms; I've updated the Wiki to have all the information and it's all waiting to be put on V7, but the way the V6 Public Room page is designed it's a waste of time and effort to go around updating it. It's not like the information isn't out there. I've got Habbox V6 pages on my schedule to complete and update but I don't think there's much missing information on the site, it's just spelling and grammar mistakes mainly.Quote:

if theres only 3 of you why is there a choice in the matter as to what you work on, it should be one or the other imo
and having new content on the main site for a month or two is better than having old content for 5-6 months
and can we stop calling them designers, they're writers
[3:31:32 PM] Tom W: LMAO ngl we design the text that's it
[3:31:35 PM] Tom W: but we're not News
Some examples:Quote:

I could go on. My point is, why is Version 7 killing off the content of the main site? Habbox.com should be the main focus out of all Habbox Sites, yet it seems to be the one that is most lacking.
when i was a content designer (which was back when mr.osh was in charge admittedly), you had to make all the tables and stuff that the writing would go in so that's design work. Content Designer sounds posh anyway. It's just a name lol.
As for version 7, I did warn matt when he posted 'coming soon' that this would happen but soon can be any time apparently :D
Just going to say from a General Management point of view:
We haven't said content should be stopped because of V7. There was a temporarily hold back some months ago but we lifted that ages ago. So content on the main .com site should still be getting updated regardless.
No it's not.Quote:
