HabboxLive Feedback.

Hello, it's been a while since one of these were posted for HabboxLive and I feel one is needed to try and touch on some points that i've noticed.

I know people at HabboxLive aren't thrilled i'm posting this, but it's not actually trying to be negative at all.

Lets be honest, the amount of staff HabboxLive has now is pretty low right now. I understand the Management are trying to recruit and seem to be getting trialists, but there's never such a thing as too many. But the trouble is with the current staff. Who are they? Recently, i've noticed HabboxLive Staff don't interact on Habbo and this could be one of the problems with getting listeners, infact i've seen people comment a few times about DJ's not telling people they are on air. Lets face it, certain listeners like certain DJ's only, so when they see they are not on air they don't tune in.

When I first started as a DJ a didn't get many listeners and yeah it was disheartening at first, but around the time of HxSS my listeners grew and even remained at a high peak of listeners after the event had ended, so it is possible to get people to tune in.

This was said when I was a still a DJ and not even by me, but if you have the same DJ's on air alot of the time[No, this is not a dig at anyone], the radio does start to go stale. Different DJ's play different music which people like, they don't want to listen to the same old stuff all the time, so switch it up a little. This will sound a little strange after what I just said, but perhaps raise the minimums from two slots a week. HabboxLive is pretty much one of the easiest departments in which to meet minimums and if people want to DJ, they should want to DJ as often as they can, between the DJ's you have even now, you can still have a good mix until more DJ's are recruited. That would encourage everyone to DJ more, not just a couple.

Looking at Sunday's timetable, I see 6 out of 24 slots currently booked, and throughout the week [If the Timetable shows the days for next week] there are alot of slots not booked. Even when I was a DJ in August/September, there were more slots booked up.

I enjoyed doing my Weekly shows and people liked listening, they also liked listening to the other weekly shows that were on air, so perhaps try and get some more going if possible. Try something fun, make people WANT to tune into you! And requests, try get more of those and be willing to download them if you haven't got them. I didn't get many requests to begin with, but I played with different types of musics from different eras and people got into it and they started asking me if I had this song or that song and I found their requests asap. I ENJOYED doing my shows because people were responding in a positive way, but for them to interact you really do need to be on Habbo. I think Senior+ should be on Habbo more aswell to set the example, I see about four people come on and they have other commitments that require them to be on Habbo anyways.


I hope this doesn't sound TOO negative because that's not what I wanted.

Weekly shows are a big yes for me. Actually just having weekly shows isn't enough. I'm looking on the HabboxLive site now (first time in bloody ages) and I've never heard of any of these shows. ADVERTISE YOUR SHOWS, DJS. Use the spam thread, pop the image with a link to HabboxLive in your signature, come on Habbo 10 - 30 minutes before and tell everyone to tune in EVERY WEEK.

Other main problem I see is advertising on client. HabboxLive is a radio for a Habbo fansite. DJs need to have more of a presence on the hotel. Gather a load of your friends together, get them all to tune in and then go and chill in a random popular room somewhere else. Be friendly and try to encourage people in that room to tune in and listen too.

I didn't explain these at all well and I have other points but I'm too tired to make them now and I can see I'm not making much sense. I'd like to reply again tomorrow in more detail and perhaps talk to Izzy privately as well about some suggestions.

The minimum was reduced when I was AGM because there were so many staff it was impossible for every DJ to do 3 slots, nowadays they could do 3 slots with ease and still have room to spare!

As it was mentioned, DJ's presence on Habbo is a must and looking at the members of staff currently some of them are definitely not doing that. I haven't heard of many of the DJs and I decided to look when some of them last logged on Habbo and some of them haven't logged in for 24 days? I don't really see how that's acceptable when HabboxLive is one of the biggest departments where you should be on Habbo. I'd love to see DJs going in events, advertising like mad and making those listeners grow. I saw UnDead do that today and it got me tuned in likewise with a few others!

Hiya I'm gonna quickly reply to this before I go bed and I'll respond in more detail tomorrow x

Firstly thank you for the feedback Debs, it's a well needed one especially due to not having once whilst I've been manager.

DJs activity is something that's always been struggled with, but obviously it's something I'm working on atm!

The minimum raising is something I've thought about for a while and has been suggested to me also, this week has honestly been a shock as the timetable was so full last week!

Weekly shows is something that has become an interest in this month and it's gonna improve hopefully

Any questions I'll be happy to answer but when I'm awake in the morning as I'm sure what I said above didn't make sense :'(

I agree that for the past month it has dropped. Also the amount of djs has dropped as well which affects HabboxLive. When I go on air which sometimes can be only 2 slots (minimum) or 5+ slots during the week which is what I can do most every week due to real life situations. I don't feel to elaborate on here if you want to know more just give me a PM :). I do pull my weight for this part at least.

Also going on Habbo while djing is something that we do want the djs to do as it helps getting listeners (new listeners) and promotes the fansite as well. I have been trying to DJ and go on Habbo at same time but seems my connection is not powerful enough to do that sadly. This is a problem on my part obviously which is a shame as I do try everytime but it just buffers my sam when I go on client during being on air :(.

Weekly minimum use to be 3 slots per week I think . I mean 3 slots is not bad really. The DJs knows if they can't DJ that week they can post away and real life comes first. Though what I am saying is obviously 3 slots is nothing I am sure 3 slots will be good. It is up to Izzy to bring up the requirement higher :).

Thanks Debs for the feedback.

I am reading this on my phone so I can't too specific but I have to agree with the lack of enthusiasm I see from the current DJs. I cringe when I listen to some due to quality reasons and then to top it off. Those who do like 4+ slots in a row do become stale and the listeners dwindle a lot. There should be no ezcuse for time, etc. For listener count because I've had 10+ listeners during 5-6am GMT. I think wht I am directing this at is quality over quantity. I would rather listen to one full well done hour than five satisfactory hours of the same person.

Whilst I agree here I find that a DJ is more interesting if they are participating in an event whilst DJing.

Doesn't even have to be a Habbox event but if they're playing a game and getting over-competitive on air and making fun (nicely) of some of the listeners then they instantly become more enjoyable to listen to. Might sound obvious but if the DJ is having fun, the listeners will enjoy the show more.
For example @Yuxin; was DJing for two hours last night (11pm - 1am, maybe more but I had to go to bed) and we played Isolation at the same time. It meant she was enthusiastic and had something to talk about on air, plus she was making fun of me (:@) and Dolphins and a few others on air (playing @FlyingJesus; 's version of Barbara Ann, what a thing to behold) to interact with her audience a bit more.

The problem with brand new DJs (they're always super young) that no one has ever heard of is they have no friends to interact with on air. Or they have a select few friends and completely ignore everyone else tuned in. Being a DJ isn't just playing some songs and occasionally speaking by saying something along the lines of "And coming up next is ummmm welllllll I thought maybe.. no actually I'll put on some jessie j *gigantic pause where we listen to a fuzzy backing track for 90 seconds* wait sorry i don't have that song let's listen to some coldplay", it's about interacting with and catering to your listeners' interests.

Edit: oh sorry I forgot to say why I was half disagreeing with your point. Basically I agree that DJs do sometimes get stale but they can avoid that by interacting with their audience and having as much fun as THEY possibly can.

To clarify on what Empired just said, Gina @Yuxin; had 19 listeners in that time slot. It IS possible. It was the first time I properly listened and I enjoyed it. Again I tuned I'm because I know she is good at what she does and plays music we asked for.

Hmm yes I always enjoy tuning in to Gina's slots. @IzzyUhh; and @whoever else is it possible to have a HabboxLive subscription like @Yupt; does a competitions subscription? Basically I receive a VM whenever a writing competition or a competition where you can win VIP is released. Could we do the same with HxL so you can opt in to be notified whenever a DJ of your choice is coming on air/books a slot?

lmao sorry tom! she asked for the beach boys but i only had ur version but was so great that i had to play it x
i think last night i prob annoyed everyone though oooops haha however i had fun
was impressed with listeners though didnt do any comps or anything and still had 20 woo

def think more weeklys are needed though
give listeners something to tune into and be excited for
like snq everyone knows about and goes to hxhd for and has fun and its like a routine for them

1 thing that bugs me tho is when djs think the listeners will appear from no where
like mentioned above they need to advertise ahh even if its just going into welcome lounge nad loads of room, filling up their friendslist and then spamming them to tune into hxl because im sure some people would tune in at least
or just saying in hxhd to tune in or a spam thread
anythinggg uno otherwise people wont know to tune in
especially with the radio offline quite a lot now im sure they dont enjoy tuning into no dj so having an invite to say that its online is prob a great start

as for the minimum when i was head dj and james was manager along with the other heads at the time we decided to move the minimum down to 2
at the time we also had about 60 djs and it was proving impossible for people to even reach it hence why
with staff numbers like halfed i think a minimum of 3 would be easy to meet
if you look at the leaderboard just see how many people hit 3+ or even 2+ so theyre scraping the minimum
with there being so many empty slots i think that would def be good to bring it back up to 3 n hopefully thatd help like how long people are stuck on air for also with more people willing to step in espec so theyre able to reach their mins

i think a lot of djs are free but just cba to reach past mins lol last night i picked up the radio from it being disconnected but had djs in the skype chat sayign about how theyre in a skype call
unless they didnt have sam im sure most of them would be able to dj as theyre lit speaking in a call however the radio was put off and they chose not to

prebooking is also a definite issue and i think you need to be harsher when it comes to it
when i was a regular/senior i hardly ever prebooked slots but i never received pms for it like even if they are a head or a senior they still need a pm with a caution lmao
6 slots are currently prebooked and its between 2 djs
its a sunday and you have what like 20-30 staff still lol they should all have 2 prebooked slots by tomorrow 8pm
but i think most cba because you can easily get away with it
you can get more slots booked and done with them being prebooked
also due to all the gaps they prob dont feel a need to prebook because i certainly dont however when people do prebook it should encourage others with more being taken

Not sure how feasible that would be given the practicalities of HxL (it seems most DJs seem to jump on when they need to rather than book too far in advance). Personally, I actually think this is a more general problem of lack of Habbo presence and there needs to be a more co-ordinated effort between the community departments to get out there and sell themselves.

It's a good idea but it would be questioned due to DJs unbooking slots, and not being able to do that slot nearer the time

just get the dj to do it to however the listeners because im assuming that dj would know lol then would bring up their forum activity aswell
depends rly on if anyone else would want the vm though haha

Out of plain curiosity, I just went through all Head, Senior + Normal (not guest) djs to find out their last Habbo login date. I would understand if someone hasn't logged in for a few days, but some of these people are just...

Head DJs
Jess / Jssy - 5 days ago
Kimmy / Ripieno - 14 hours ago
Kitty / XxZammyXx - 9 hours ago
Woody / WoodyLFC.2k7 - 14 days ago

Senior
Bethy / KrazyBethw - 16 hours ago
Collegno / Collegno - 20 hours ago

All other staff except guests
Katarune / dealerboy-1 - 24 days ago
Rachel / Rachel_137 - 38 days ago
River / Scumper - 47 days ago
Tay / .:TaylorSwift: - 6 hours ago
Undead / UndeadDevilHD - 16 hours ago
Wubing / Wubing - 16 hours ago
Tashy / DjTashyBackUp - 4 days ago
Callum / cal296 - 60 hours ago
Firefox / Ailurus - 16 hours ago
Hurricane / Shockwave.2CC - 9 hours ago
Power / Chloe7355 - 62 hours ago
Aroonie / arunan29 - 15 hours ago
Jordan / KeillerIsBanned - appearing offline, but ik he comes on a lot
Small / Josh0202 - 8 days ago (i know he isn't away either as he was just DJing)
Woodsy / lesbon - 77 minutes ago


It might seem like I'm attacking certain people, but it is absolutely unacceptable to be a staff member for a HABBO fansite and have not logged into HABBo for over a month and a half.......... Woody is the only one in red who can be excused if he is posted away ( i obviously don't know) because you are only allowed three weeks maximum to be off.

If you add together every one of those and get an average (rounded lesbon's down to an hour and converted days into hours + didn't count keiller) dj last login of; 181 hours ago OR about just over a week ago. Obviously the people who haven't logged in for excess of 20 days are going to throw the average way off, but it just shows you how bad the situation is...

om at how short that list is now ahhh used to be so long

I realised this soon after posting. Instead could we subscribe to weekly shows? May not be useful to other people but I will need reminding if I want to tune in for a weekly show. I KNOW it's weekly so it's easy to remember but honestly I only think about HxL once a month or something so I just wouldn't remember.

Weekly shows is defo something it would be good for, perhaps a poll could be done to see who would suscribe to it

Hayden I'm aware and as said doing stuff about it in the upcoming month, it's a huge shame to see how low the activitt is

I think a minimum should be added where Dj's come online, although i'm not sure how you would moderate that. They could just come online then log off again, so something needs to be added to prevent that, i'll throw this out there for people who have better ideas than myself to think of.

even if one person voted yes (ME) that would be one more person than you would otherwise be getting

worth it even if only a few people agree imo

Yh ok but opening another feedback for your department is extremely risky we know what people can be like here. but on your own head be it xoxoxox

I actually feel Gina and a few others are the only ones that actually take those precious opportunities to connect with the listeners.
I'm not really saying that all slots done that are more than a hour long is the same. It definitely varies throughout the DJ. And as you have stated; the newer DJs are young, they don't know a lot of us listening... But should they not, as a community based position, be trying to interact with those listening. And with the time slot vs the amount of listeners; 11-1 GMT is 6-8pm EST so the listener focus becomes those who international.
Is it maybe that we are lacking the involvement on our international side? The amount of international DJs have dropped... Are we just not taking the effort anymore to reach other during the international hours of the Habbo(x)?
(Again, this isn't to attack anyone.. I'm just pointing out things I see..)

I think it'd be nice to have people subscribe to a weekly show, although I do think that it'd be way too fidgety to allow people subscribe to individual DJs as people will need to be re-notified when they switch slots or unbook it. Any DJ is welcome to advertise their show beforehand though.

I completely agree. Plus I think it would be nice to hear a DJ I've never heard before trying to interact with the community and get to know people better. I think the problem with REALLY young DJs is that I have nothing in common with them anymore and their interests are completely different to mine so I never find the content (if there actually is any content) in their shows interesting. Not to mention most young people (say 12 - 14) aren't interested in the type of music I like.

Yeah no that was just the beginnings of an idea. I wouldn't actually be interested in subscriptions for every single show but I didn't word my idea properly/hadn't thought it through yet the first time.

To go along with this as well. We do have the CNB which comes in handy for just about anything that is happening.
A suggestion to DJs is maybe to post the winners of competitions during the past hour, maybe a screen shot in the CNB post as well, to bring more of an incentive to those browsing the forum to check out the radio too

Yes plz. Screenshot only if there's something worth looking at though. Would be embarrassing to see a screenshot of a DJ sat alone in HxHD for an hour.

Agreed. Being from the 22+ age bracket on the forum, connecting with those who are 12-14 makes it difficult because we are intimidating to those in that age bracket.
It should be the fact that they're not into your music. As a DJ (a real one) they wouldn't say to a person who was at a wedding or something that their song choice is something they're not into, and then proceed to play a song cateered to the DJ... (If that makes any sense)

This is similar to an Events Roundup that Martin/Alex did when I was a senior EO and quite a few people liked to see who had won what and all that, so yes I'm all for this.

With Monthlies the DJs are expect to be at their slot that they've chosen for that. Make it more fancy, and publicize it more. It would bring more incentive to tune in when the reputation of quantity is there... But I like where this feedback is going... @IzzyUhh; I hope you are making notes... There are some good ideas arising from this.

If you add together every one of those and get an average (rounded lesbon's down to an hour and converted days into hours + didn't count keiller) dj last login of; 181 hours ago OR about just over a week ago. Obviously the people who haven't logged in for excess of 20 days are going to throw the average way off, but it just shows you how bad the situation is...

Just so you know all the names were PMed to Izzy last night as I got told that we shouldn't be mentioning them in here :P. Luckily though Izzy is sorting out activity already, which may have slacked a little. It's good to see someone has similar ideas.

Oh well. Can't hinder to mention them in here and it really should have been noticed sooner :P

P.s. whoever deals with it, on the habboxlive.com staff page, the reason Bethy's avatar doesn't display is because the imager is trying to grab the Habbo name KrazyBethyW when her name is KrazyBethW

Gina, you're really the only exception to that statistic for the reason that you've given.

the age of "hey guys get your friends to tune in" is long gone. promotion of shows is firmly on the shoulders of the radio staff because the scope for word of mouth is simply far too small. reliance for increased listener count is on a select few charismatic djs and others seem to have no reason to want to pull their weight or engage with others.

i and others have pushed for more weekly shows in the past and because i don't listen to the radio at the moment i had wondered what kind of listener numbers they get in comparison to the average show and what the general consensus on them is. I can't imagine that a top 10 chart show and a regular show differ very vastly but those with more original aspects may well do. anybody listen or host and have any solid stats on this?

the debate on age is an old one by name and by nature. older djs statistically may be 'better' than younger ones (usually coming from experience) but this doesn't rule out potential in young blood. trouble with this is with age comes arrogance and once these older djs get to senior positions they are expecting too much and giving too little. new djs require guidance, something that I know gina in particular (one of the youngest djs) strove for during her stint as senior, head and (assistant) manager.

these are small scale issues in a much wider scale problem, though. looking at those staff numbers along with stats from every other department at habbox there is a complication that has become crystal clear: the in client presence of habbox is all but dead. people log on to visit a small number of rooms, talk to the same circle of people and don't know how to push the name out there. it's worrying and it isn't showing any signs of improvement.

To the people that are saying they'd like a subscription to show when their fave DJs are on air...

with only 6 slots prebooked including today that prob isnt v helpful and only 2 diff djs
was fab a few months ago when it was impossible to even get a lot however majority arent even booked :P

I guess you're right about presenters not advertising very well, the only people I've actually seen anyone mentioning habboxlive is one or two staff members in the helpdesk, @Absently; is always chatting about dancing with her dog whilst listening to habboxlive. I think advertising in official habbox rooms might be a little pointless at times, the majority who use those rooms already know about the radio and would tune in if they really wanted to.

I'm not sure what habbos policy on advertising official fansites in public rooms is but if it's allowed, those rooms should be targeted. I understand that might be difficult if no-one is showing up to a room when you advertise, so you're just standing there like an ejit on your own, heres the plan lads;

Habbox as a whole should plan a day where everyone gets together on the client as part of a 'habbox advertising campaign' for a couple of hours to help gain listeners for the radio. Think about it logically, even though you're only improving one department temporarily, the others will follow; if the radio is popular, the events, the forum and the helpdesk will also follow with victory through radio advertising. If the radio does get popular during one night, always have something massive planned for the next, it'll get those same viewers to tune back in. If there's not constant future plans, there's no point in ever trying to do competitions to gain listeners as they aren't going to stick around. 2 people aren't going to be able to convince people to tune into the radio but 102 will, even without speaking, if people see 100 people dressed in similar clothes, it'll get them interested in what the hell is going on. What's the point of sending in a request / shoutout if you know no-one is going to hear you, people will actually send in requests and stay interested if there's more listeners. Would you tune into your local radio / stay interested if you knew there was 5 people tuned in, i know i wouldn't, it's a bit boring if you know there isn't a mass audience, it makes it all a bit pointless.


@Wispur; jump on my victorious plan, quick quick!​

Yeah but the subscription service would go off the timetable, so either way it's down to all these DJs not booking slots in advance.
