Habbox Diversity

[Zeptis]

I walked into the Saturday Night Quiz today, and the name of the event got me thinking, "It isn't night for me, In fact it isn't even noon yet". My point is Saturday Night Quiz is kinda only night time for people in Europe and what about the people in New Zealand (where it is 6am I believe) and America who wanna spend the Saturday sleeping in until 12. My Idea to fix this is to possible have 2 SNQ's one for each timezone because in all fairness, I do see why I shouldn't be able to participate in The quiz, despite the fact that I suck at quizes. So I think thi idea should be taken into strong consideration.

Oh and to add, I think this should be done for many other events that only people in GMT timezones can participate in like weekly events that at 6pm which is 10am for me and I am at school, so basically I am not allowed to attend these events unless I ditch school or something, J/S

I don't think we should have two quizzes because after all, they're the help desk department and 2 quizzes would just get repetitive! However it's been mentioned time and time again, I know I mentioned it for about 4 meetings running when I was HxHD staff and then just got sick of nothing happening. It is something which needs to be sorted (I think a couple of hours later wouldn't be too bad to be honest as well) because it really makes other timezones feel "oh they're only going to cater for a small proportion of the world, stuff this) when we're actually, now, a fansite for all who speak English!

I think having the quiz a few hours later would be reasonable, because after all it is Saturday, and we stay up late anyway, and would only be ten o' clock

Aye. Also, whilst it would attract other time zones, more people may watch it due to TV programmessuch asThe X Factorfinishing and therefore perhaps a larger proportion of people from the UK arriving too!

I really don't see how that has anything to do with it, but Yeah!

I remember this problem when I was in the HxHD... and that was a year ago! I agree with delaying the time of the quiz maybe till 11/12, as for the UK it is still popular and then the other people waking up in other timezones would fit nicely!

not even bothered about saying this. in my eyes habbox is, was and always will be uk based no matter how many *removed* americans sign up.

ps. i'm in a **** mood.

There's a diverse range of people at Habbox from many different countries but anyone who stays at Habbox for a while will recognise that it is predominantly a UK website and therefore certain events and times will reflect that. That's not to say we will push you away if you happen to live somewhere else and we will alwaystry and accomodate as many people as possible. So the saturday night quiz is likely to stay in the UK timezone and we will encourage as many departments as possible to make US/AU timezones. I think HabboxLive, in particular, are the best at this but I do think the hxhd snq is a unique event for hxhd and that would be diminished by having multiple quizzes all the time.

It would be impossible to please everyone. Habbox is mostly UK based and to have events at 11 PM or 12 AM may be unfair for many UK members who are established members of the Habbox Community. Having two events is unrealistic as it would be time consuming for the events staff. The best option is to have a mixture of events at different times - one event for late night in the UK which would cater for UK members at night, and members in the US in the late afternoon. Unfortunately, with this suggestion Australian members will miss out.

It's just one problem where diversity doesn't work for a mostly UK based team of staff.

I understand that this website wasoriginallybased in the UK before the Merge, and after the merge, but now post merge, this place is a mixing pot were we have people from around the world, I think since is the case, Habbox should be able to cater to so more people in other timezones.
