Hey guys,
Just so you know, we've just released V1! It went off with a bang and it looks amazing, that good even Dez from ThisHabbo has given it a decent review on his website!
www.madhabbo.com is our website! If you want to check it out, we're really friendly :)
It looks nice, but appears quite generic and doesn't really stand out from the crowd. Perhaps think about offering something that other fansites dont? Good luck with it :)
Currently looking into doing an integration, speaking with Dez and Optra from ThisHabbo atm and they're giving us some ideas :) Thanks for the feedback though!Quote:

Good Luck with things :D
SO MANY OWNERS AND ADMINS THO
Never heard of half of the staff, love one of the forum skins though. good luck!
Lmao nice graphics staff you have there. You seem to have a bloated admin team for such little staff and you seem to spread thinly. Should try to do one thing well in my opinion, but good luck.
Yeah it looks quite nice actually, I'm pleasantly surprised because normally people show us some complete rubbish and I feel too mean to tell the truth because they're obviously really proud of it.
But yeah as others have said, that looks like a very top-heavy staff list you've got there. And five forum moderators?? They'll be lucky if they get more than one log a week. Hx has two to three normally but tbh even Cerys and I can be stretched to meet minimums on some of the quieter months.
What are minimums for modsQuote:

Advertise/Promote the forum on Habbo four times
Be on the forum daily.
Look over the forum and see if there is anything you think would be nice to add to forum.
Seems easy enough as all staff are able to complete them, ever since the review of the site from Dez we've had a few ups and downs with users, meaning that the moderators have been fairly active recently.
All in all, thanks for the feedback :P
Ohh I thought I replied to this this morning but obv it didn't work
Er I genuinely don't know. All I know is for reports we get like good/excellent/unacceptable etc. but I don't actually know what the boundaries are.Quote:

@FUNISMYME Cheers :D
@MarkD; I've noticed you now want to have three General Administrators for Radio, Events & Community - what does this mean exactly? Sounds like they'd pretty much just be department managers with admin panels :S
What do your Senior admins do too?
Sorry, it just really interests me!!
When I was there they had multiple GA for overlooking dept just like our Content and Community GM.Quote:

Looks cool, and although people are knocking the fact you have so many staff and management, that's actually a smart move.
Most people on Habbox got into Habbox properly by being staff, and there is a core community who still do that. What you're trying to do is create that core community of people, and then you know others will come along which is what happened here... So I think that's a wise move in the long term. Short term, obv it's a new fansite but there really is nothing different between your website and many other fansites, hell there's even a free template I just found on HxF that looks similar to your website but I digress!
All the best of luck, don't take any hassle from other fansites it's a losing war as a new fansite, just try to fit in and keep your site running. You'll do well if you stick to it, but if you don't then at least pass it onto people that will take care of the community because that's one thing Habbox has done very well, and that's why one of the longest running fansite.
Also fix the font in the advertisement images, is that Times New Roman? Come on it's lazy :P
That's something I never agreed on Tommy, that's been wiped out of context now xD Hated that choice from the startQuote:

We used that for a Very Very short while, 2 weeks if that, and then went on to coding our actual V1!
and I completely agree with you on most of that paragraph!
I've updated the font to Tahoma anyway!
I think he's saying it looks a bit generic, which it does.
That's an open source service status system.. that's as stupid as saying anyone using vBulletin, shoutcast, joomla/drupal/wordpress, etc is ripping.
How is it ripped? It's a free open source programme that most sites use.Quote:

I spoke to Matt personally via Skype as I ran into a few bugs setting it up. I initially used for just my company I run, however decided due to the ease-of-use I would use it for MadHabbo as well. Sure we've been labelled by some fansites as a "copier, taking the best of each fansite, not being original" but at least what we implement works. I'm in the process of customising that status system to suite further requirements we have, but that's all happening over the coming months.Quote:

Like how you're a new fansite already on v9, how your previous forum skin was a badly edited version of HabboX's Habboxed skin (a forum skin leaked by people from the company PureVB I think it was called) but still poorly edited and don't get me started on the new forum skin.
Two way street... you rip into my site, I'll rip twice as hard into yours. Take care Felica!
I love what @scottish said, as it's so very true, and as such I have +REPed him and quoted him below.

do we really care lol ;l
still think u have too many admins @MarkD; ;)
nice seeing you recruiting more staff tho :D
too much volter
Having too many Admins will turn into very little soon as we're getting more and more staff by the day.Quote:

Went to one of your events and your staff were arguing with each other. The site is quite boring in the way that it doesn't offer anything new. But I wish you the best of luck with it
I'd like to add to your post with this image:Quote:

There's also problems with the coding in terms of the radio box not ending properly - it looks like it's supposed to go somewhere below it but doesn't. The bottom of the page needs a gap as it ends suddenly and there's a problem with the box after the top white box.
Good luck with it tho, it looks better than 95% of the stuff on here/
Cheers for the comment @Snex;
I'll be looking into that at some point with Andy.
No problem, good luck with it :)Quote:

Welcome back, Joss - nice to see someone that was very influential in terms of vBulletin themes for Habbo fansites back here. Back in the day, there wasn't really a site around that hadn't based their theme off one of your freebies on HabboEmotion.Quote:

No bother, I just come on from time to time when I'm usually bored tbh. I forgot about them free themes, haven't done vBulletin stuff for at least 5 years now.Quote:
