Would you care if it was removed?!
Management are obviously wasting too much time listening to your quite frankly, stupid suggestions.
Also just to add to the discussion, would you have actually left the forum if they hadn't of listened to threads in feedback, regarding things such as userbars and post count in certain forums?
they listen to issues lol and it brings up new ideas etc
The irony has reached 11.Quote:

it's great to read when people argue over stupid things, i say we keep it
I have a feeling this thread is trying to suggest that people should only ever care about things that are necessities rather than extras, which is hilarious coming from someone in the first world sat at home on his computer with broadband connection
What issues are there that would have caused you to leave the forum?Quote:

feedback forum is perfect for you tbh, always complaining about what's going on
I think the fact that you made a thread about the feedback forum within the feedback forum proves it needs to stay LOL :P else where else would you have brought it up for people to discuss? :(
In all seriousness I think its fine as it is, I think its nice for members to have input into things, to discuss changes (even minor ones), and some members who have been on this forum for years have some pretty good ideas about things and to be fair even newer members often come up with great things too.
Sure, lately things have been a bit weird, the atmousphere on the forum seems to have changed in some respects in my view. I can't quite put my finger on what it is, but something feels different, whether its just activity lowering or whatever.
I don't think management are "wasting time" listening to stupid suggestions. I think its important that all feedback is taken on board, discussed and looked into. Sure some people take things too far, get a little uptight over things, but thats always been the case really. At the end of the day, the members are entitled to an opinion and they WILL have one regardless of whether this forum exists or not, and will simply state it elsewhere (in spam etc) anyway so having it here is at least more organised.
It's never presented a problem before really, and like I said, some very good discussions have come out of this forum in the past which have influenced some very good changes. The interaction between management and members is always crucial and this forum does that quite well really. I think its good that management take time to listen, and good that members are encouraged to give feedback. Some of the time it turns into a "we say this , you do that" kind of thing which shouldnt always be the case, since its feedback at the end of the day.
In regards to the 2nd thing, I don't think it would be worth leaving the forum over something like that, it wouldn't really solve anything. Management don't have to listen to everything in feedback, they are put in their position to make decisions too, however I think there needs to be a balance of user participation too and discussing certain things never hurts, and often helps management make decisions. I think with polls its slightly different and once you do something like that it makes sense to listen to it if thats the direction you are going to take, and I would like to think management would always do their best to cater for the majority of what people what on the forum where it is possible to do so.
So yeah, I think the Feedback Forum is fine, serves a purpose and whilst it can get a little heated/silly at times it can also be beneficial to the forum and promote discussion on important matters and gives members a chance to discuss with people what they think. it really is there to help improve things, so I think sometimes people can be a bit negative/pick out silly things which could be resolved better via PM.
I can't believe you actually posted it to be honest. But hey ho, I can't see that many people agreeing with you.
Wow tell us how you feel Martin

Isn't that the idea of a Feedback thread?! :( I waffle far too much I know, but thats just the way I am sometimes! Most of it probably makes no sense haha.Quote:

Yep let's just get rid of it, means I wouldn't have to bother replying to stupid threads like this.
Even better, let's get rid of the 'members who have read this thread' feature so I can pretend I haven't read stupid threads like this like the good ol' days.
the funny part was the difference in amount of posts.Quote:

I've read some stupid feedback threads during my time here but this is the icing on the cake. Saying that, my life would be much easier without the feedback forum.
That's fine with me, I wasn't expecting anything to happen anyway. You're the reason everything has stagnated so much :)Quote:

Well for a start it lets them concentrate on actual important things such as improving habbox.com (almost 2years since a new version!) habboxlive.com. but honestly for me, the problem lies down to the fact that senior management can't actually come up with any ideas themselves, which is why they're useless and have let activity become so low. (what does matt actually do?)Quote:

If there wasn't a Feedback forum, then a lot of the features we have wouldn't be here now. I really don't think it should be going anywhere anytime soon :P.
General Management isn't exactly heavily involved in the process of developing V7, nor would it be beneficial if they were.Quote:

Well I'm sure everyone can think of something that has been implemented/changed thanks to a feedback thread. Oh and by features I meant updates/features, same thing :P.Quote:

And that's just a few of a list that could go on and on if you go back to the beginning of Habbox :P.
Actually that was via PM :3Quote:

But sure anyway......no......just no. There's no benefit from removing feedback thread, without it, Habbox would be a hell of a lot worse off. Think about the feedback given to various departments over the years not all but most containing some very significant constructive criticism. Without this criticism, how would the departments evolve and grow in a way people can relate to and enjoy?
Sure they listened to members, but they aren't something I'd call features.Quote:

So you're telling me you'd prefer it if management just did their own thing in relation to their departments and there was no community involvement with ideas they could implement?Quote:
