Habbox History

[MissAlice]

It's really good to see the 'Habbox History' in place, however there are many errors, huge inaccuracies and I imagine sierk hasn't read any of it before it was published.

From the article:
Mizki was the person that founded Habbox. She has helped make Habbox a popular fansite like it is today. She was the first ever owner of Habbox and built the first ever version of Habbox. Without Mizki, there would be no Habbox. She then left Habbox and gave the ownership of the empire she had built up to our current owner sierk.

When sierk took responsibility for Habbox it was nothing more than a seedling which he helped to mature from an acorn to what is now a very well established oak tree. Mizki who was an ex hobba stayed on as staff when sierk took charge.

From the article:
Jrh2002 helped found HabboxForum. He was the owner of the now very popular HabboxForum. He was the first member on the forum as well as the creator of HabboxForum. Jrh2002 also was the manager of HabboxLive as it is called now. He then later progressed his way all the way to Assistant General Manager. He later resigned from his AGM position in 2007.

The above is not correct and the following is:
- Founded and owned HabboxForum.com and paid for it all did not help found it and set it all up including staff permissions etc. sold to sierk
- Founded owned as well as managed habbox radio (although Wayne_J an ex hobba helped with most of the site) until closing it and starting radio habbo (although habbox live is good habbox radio was a totally different site)
- Ex Hobba


Properclone was never a hobba. He also became News Manager the same day I became Competitions Manager.

DJ-3000 was a HabboxLive Radio Manager. He played a big part in the running of the radio and helped create the popular radio HabboxLive now is.

DJ-3000 was never a part of HabboxLive, and from memory Billy took over the radio when jrh left. DJ-3000 was Forum Manager and Help Desk Manager.

JackHB was amongst many things also an ex News Manager.

I've already checked with jrh2002 for information and I know there is much more that needs editing.

jrh2002 has asked me to add this to my post:

Habbox Radio
- OWNED and MANAGED BY jrh2002 not Mizki from start to finish of the site
- Habbox Radio was closed and became radio habbo due to issues at habbox that were badly affecting the site and staff
habbox live was a brand new site and nothing to do with habbox radio and opened 2 weeks after jrh2002 closed hxr
jrh2002 quit as radio manager (only wanted to be there till jess took charge) and then became an AGM.




Can I ask who wrote this?

[Coldplay]

Someone who I imagine will soon be getting fired...

[Dan2nd]

I've also read it through and have noticed a lot of spelling mistakes to many to quote I'm afraid

[Jordan:A]

It was obv someone who became comps manager when someone became News Manager

He also became News Manager the same day I became Competitions Manager

[JackHb]

Before I post I do want to say; Its nice too see that it has been put together, but a lot of it is wrong.

I don't feel as though enough research has been put into it, for example Jacko2kn3 has been missed off, he was an Assistant Site Manager along with me.

It says JackHb was a Habbox Forum Manager, well I wasn't :s Assistant Site Manager (Forum).

It looks as though you have skimmed through the the announments forum and not gone into depth.

And I swear I created that list of important dates which is fine for you to use,however it needs updating as that was only a draft when I was there.

A version should have been sent to us first so we could proof read it lol I am not slating the person who wrote it, as it was probably someone who was not around back then, however there are a good few mistakes which could have been easily missed with a bit of research

[e5]

lol, that is sooo badly written.

Wasn't Seacat something important for the forum, or is it only the majorly important people (even though Seacat did aload of things)?

I got this pre-release and made some changes, looks like half haven't been made. I had submitted some changes before reading this thread, including reordering the staff, changing some descs.

They included:
- Jrh founded the vB forum
- DJ running HxR and HxHD, and being the best known forum manager (IMO it wasn't Ash, cool as he was)
- Jack being AGM not FM (or was it ASM when you were staff?)

there was more as well.

Any further changes will be sent on to our content team, I have no idea who wrote it but I feel like this thread might be embarassment enough, I haven't asked OSH.

Jack > Yeah you're right there are AGMs and ASMs who were left off, from memory Baving (well there's a reason for that un), Dora, Jacko. We'll have to overhaul it and make additions but credit to the content team for making the attempt, it can always be improved

Sorry but i lol'ed. Why was this even put onto the site in the first place i mean come on.

He was site manager. He was cool. I can't think of anything to say. Awesome.

If your going to hire articles staff ,(or whatever the person wrote this is), at least make sure they can write something half good?

Well they were a content designer, thus not entirely hired for writing ability, we have a little better writer being assigned to it now

They did make an attempt at it, and they put work into it, who knows they may just not be the best writer in the world and actually put in a lot of effort.

Looking back I think that it might not be as obvious for everyone else what people did, I also think the title switch from Assistant Site Manager to Assistant General Manager mighta thrown whoever it was off.
