Why Habbox isn't as good any more (imo...)

[immense]

because we've had two general managers in a row that put the forum first and they're the only two general managers who have done this. even nvrspk4 knew that habbox.com was far more important than hxf... however, because people moan so much on here and think they're an MP or something you spend way too much time discussing and pleasing them and i think the main site has been neglected

i heard it was being revamped in spring but i don't see anything, the design is horrid, content is poor, rare values are slack, news is boring and it's all in all an eye sore. i think this explains why hxl hardly has declined too cuz less and less people are using hx.com.

tl;dr - concentrate on hx.com more -

cba to type properly

bye

I agree. The site is what causes people to sign up. I used to go on Habbox.com, saw habboxforum.com and signed up because of Habbox.com and how good it was. The site design is awful and I said it when I was first showed it before release.
Jin said the new design will be here by Summer at the start of the year. They should have began working on it then, however they didn't, which is a big problem.

This is why Site related managers should be promoted to AGM position and GM, not Forum Managers.

I do agree with you here and i've thought this for a while, I told nvr the same thing when I was talking to him. The forum is being concentrated on more than the main website - which is silly. Habbox.com is what attracts visitors to the forum and the main site. There is a new layout in planning I think they just need Jin to give specs of what he wants so hopefully when it gets released then more can be put into the site.

yeah, they seriously need to start getting general managers who can code again (8freak8, ---MAD---) etc. ---MAD--- went from FM to GM just cuz he could code and now it just seems whoever is the most popular will become gm

When Garion leaves or gets promoted, Oli will probably become AGM (Staff) which I think is wrong. The site departments e.g. RVR, Graphics, News etc never get a chance and they should become AGM, not the FM.

The forum is a part of Habbox.com just like HabboxLive. However, now it seems the Forum is given more importance.

ok lets settle this, matt study web codding at college drop whatever u doing pls

hx.com is getting neglected I agree but every thread seems to be 'WE HATE MATTG ITS ALL HIS FAULT' lets be honest habbo itself is killing habbox, our rare values is no longer needed because the mp, habbo introduced on clent news & the merge has hit us bad.

Only Jake is commenting on Matt. I am saying the site department related managers rarely get a chance to be (A)GM as the FM always gets promoted.

yeah, he probably will and i disagree too. it just becomes so forum orientated... thing is it's how you get noticed on hxf and just because he posts more than inseriousity or undertaker (two managers i can think of, my bad if either of them av resigned) doesn't mean anything. someone who is content based should be given agm (staff) imo. although they might not want it, i know i was offered it and thought HELL NAW and declined. thing is people would never say no to agm any more on here. i think me and missalice (well community manager for her) are the only people ever to reject offers due to personal interests and in the interest of habbox. ppl are just desp to get power and do a **** job lol

at richie; i like matt actually and i think he's a good gm! i supported him in that mean thread against him. he's better than nvr and sam were at gm. i'm just saying hx.com is neglected.

I also agree - the site is what brought me to HabboxForum and I used Habbox.com way before signing up to HabboxForum, I personally don't mind the site design but I am looking forward to v6 - it's a shame it's taking a lot longer than anticipated.

In terms of the forum getting more focus, hmm... I don't think the Forum gets a lot of focus from General Management in my eyes, Matt does love the Forum as this is where he started but I assure you we aren't the sole of his attention, a lot of stuff happens on the forum because me and my team make it happen and whilst Matt and Garion share their feedback this is where it ends really.

I personally think that there's a kind of attitude going around that we can just go on Habbo host some events and get people to sign up, this isn't the case - we need to be able to show them that we can offer them something that other fansites cannot and from what I have heard about v6 this is what is planned - It just needs to happen sooner rather than later.

In terms of General Management not being able to code I don't think that's an issue so long as we have a good strong dedicated team of site coders like we do at the moment, General Management are there to Manage and as long as they've got the staff with the relevant permissions and the managers have the relevant authority - it should work fine.

Oh, and I have no interest in becoming Assistant General Manager (Staff), with no offence to Garion the job content sounds tedious and awful I can't see General Management changing in a good while and when it does it should be going to a 16 - 17 year old who can offer years to Habbox - not someone like me who'll only be around for another year or two max.

I think it's good if you turn down a job in General Management for the benefit of the people and I know I would never be able to do a good job in General Management hence why I wouldn't take it. There needs to be some more concentration on the site, I agree and I think it should be our top focus as HxF has been getting all the attention recently.
