    Default Better News Reporters Needed

    Habbox either needs more or better or more active news reporters. Half the news arent reported, and when they are, its reported VERY late.
    E.g. the scripting news was reported very late and that trade etc were disabled
    the free penguin news hasnt even been reported
    These are just the ones I found but I am sure many others havent been reported.
    I remember last year when Habbox used to report news very quickly.
    The Habbo UK News forum is better :\

    I know the times of news being reported isn't its best at the moment but it's not VERY late?

    The penguin news was found last night at 11PM. Some people are off in bed by then and not on till 3PM today because of school so its not very late I am about to do a report on it now though :p Obviously it would of been great if it was reported last night but as I have said, there's staffing issues at the moment.

    The quality of the news is fantastic and new reporters will be coming in soon so rest assured it will approve. Due to conz helping now in Graphics, I have more time to sort out news

    Also, I want to add we are still faster than our main competition and our quality is arguable the best

    Do you have any more suggestions
    The other day I was in a toilet.
    A voice came from the cubicle next to me: "Hello mate, how are you doing?"
    I didn't want to be rude, so I said, "Not too bad, thanks."
    I heard the voice again. "So, what are you up to?"
    Again I answered, "Just having a quick ****... How about yourself?"
    Then I heard him say "Sorry, mate, I'll have to call you back. I've got some **** in the cubicle next to me answering everything I say."

    The scripting news took ages. And was the news that trade etc are disabled even reported? :S

    I've only just managed to find out about the penguin thing, and plus some news there isn't enough detail in habbo's actual article to post a report on it, and atm it seems there just posting game reveiws.
    One for the road. :rolleyes:

    It was reported, so don't moan about things which 'aren't' reported when they actually are.
    Until recently theres only been 3 people in the department and two have been away, the quality of news is actually very reasonable.

    I love the quality of the news at Habbox, I was going to apply for a news job myself, but the time just didn't come to me. Its a shame though as now I have the time :S

    The Habbo UK News forum is better :\
    As I am sure you can understand, our lives do not revolve around the beat of Habbo. This week has been a busy week in real life for the majority of the reporters, myself included.

    We try and update the news as soon as we get wind of it, but sometimes there is technical or personal obstacles that prevent us from doing so.
    eek.

    I'd love to step in and help to be honest.
    I used to be a News Reporter on here and I used to be fairly good at it. I'm always on the forum and Habbo so generally I report the news as it breaks

    If you noticed, I asked if it was even reported. But it was reported quite late. Most things are reported late now a days. Also many news which were released at 3pm today havent yet been reported. Yes I realise many of you have lives outside of habbo, but just hire more news reporters then.
