Many changes needed

[The Don]

There are so many things wrong with habbox and in every department, it would give me a headache writing about all of the issues. Forum decline is the main issue, the way departments are being ran is another. We have an AGM here who is frequently inactive, why hasn't he been removed? Nothing is being done to try and bring in new members here... The moderation department is sloppy, sending out incorrect pm's and following rules literally without using common sense. I've had an encounter here today which reminded me of the ---MAD--- era, in fact, at least during that era there was an active presence amongst general management, something which can't be said for the current one. There are loads of outdated pages on the habbox website which aren't being updated as "there's no point" since a new versions coming out soon (where have I heard that before?) Hxl is pretty much dead and do people even use habbox wiki? There are so many problems with habbox and I don't see management (which looks like a one man team tbh) coming up with any solutions.

I know I use HabboxWiki but as I can see not many others do besides the staff. HxL has just got it's manager back so needs time to sort it self out! Some admin could be a LOT more active and I 100% with the moderation team! They are slow.. and give out inappropriate warnings!

The only thing I disagree with is the HxL thing.. with Jade and Gina it should get much better!

Not sure why this thread was moved somewhere then moved back, (Chris did move it back) AGM, more like AGM's none post on the forum, There is one rule for some, one rule for others, Some users consistently break the rules (& know their limits to stop at, so they will troll up to that amount) which i find is totally unfair.

I believe v7 is being coded by @Intricat; now as Recursion doesn't have time now, so to be fair, I will now bet this v7 will be released soon ./
HxL is completely dead, Although Richies thread sums it up
I like HabboxWiki, not sure why, I've only just got into it since ChippieJin started being manager, Like the updates he has done (Although i get disappointed using random page as it always takes me to pages being made (Must be some sort of way to disable them coming up in random page)?

I believe HxL could return, with a wealth, Heck you'd get me coming back to using it if Spotify wasn't around, or you could have a 3 hour show of old school HxL, funny DJ's, people who have emotions, people who enjoy DJing as DJing is fun, not as oh im staff on Habbox.

I mean Jade (HxL Manager) pretty much proved dedication (15h a day DJing) can / could get you to HxL manager in 2 months, not complaining considering shes a good DJ, she donated a lot to Habbox (Although i disagree with her doing that) she done well.

To be fair Habbox needs a kick up the ass, Im sure Jin will do it once he has some time, That is if he ever has time to return.

HabboxWiki does seem like a wasteful project. Last I saw of it there was no need, no demand for a Wiki as people who gave up Habbo who would be the main demographic interested in the past of Habbo would have left Habbo behind entirely.

As for the Forum, they seem to have double standards. They make changes on a whim with no logical, reasonable debate yet when a real debate occurs they don't want to revert the changes, and then act a bit frustrated that a real debate has happened and not want to change using the "why change something that isn't broken" quote not realising the irony in what they are saying. It's odd as they believe in being professional yet makes changes against the majority of the forum, then when they have reasons read out to them why the reason for the change was silly they completely ignore it, claiming " we aren't making any changes". It's completely unprofessional.

And don't get me started on the lack of communication lately, where a certain someone won't admit he's out of the loop yet will claim he is like he's receiving the same political training as some party leaders.

There hasn't been three active AGM at habbox since like 2007 i don't think lol, theres always one who just does the work loads and thats it, doesn't interact, doesnt post, doesnt come on Habbo. It's either been Mr.Osh, Bomb-Head or someone else. Now its Myke lol

I can't comment on the present management (they seem an alright bunch to me) but I will just say that it has always been, generally, the case that the Habbox hierarchy is based on who is 'in' and who isn't, and ultimately that leads to people who aren't the best for the job getting management positions over those who know their stuff better.

Just as it has always been the case (in my two stints at least) that department managers don't have nearly enough freedom from central management. Indeed if you ask me, department managers should be the main focus or driving force of this website and the position of General Manager (and all the rest) should merely be there as a co-ordinating or emergency role, rather like the Queen is to the Prime Minister.

Decentralise it, radically and get things moving.

I was contemplating posting a similar thread regarding AGM's posting on the forum. Seriously why is @xxMATTGxx; not enforcing that they post 40+ a week. If a forum moderator is required to post 40 then AGM should be required to triple that - they are running Habbox and if dont use it why should anybody else - I'd love to see this tackled.

There's 3 staff who normally work on the actual site and one (Assistant) Manager who is site orientated (me and Will being the exceptions for that) but recently a lot of Habbox.com things are being updated due to the want for it. HabboxWiki I think is needed and it even comes up on Google when I search for things, there's also a little addition at the bottom saying how many times a page has been accessed, regardless of it being random page or not it shows how many use the Wiki.

Last I checked there were 12 active Wiki users, about half were the staff I believe but others such as @,AAiden; and @runeaddict99 etc. do use it, likewise with other staff members.

The General Manager isn't usually away, it's only really been this month when members have started to notice more as it seemed reason after reason cropped up (good and bad), a lot of staff are away at the moment too which could be why there doesn't seem to be a lot getting done.
