Habboxlive suggestion

[Richie]

I'm just brain storming here & this could be a complete flop but then again it could work. I was watching a few livestreams on twitch.tv the other day and I realized how popular some of the streams are, obviously viewer rating will vary depending on your personality & the game you play. Anyway, I was browsing through the games directory and just out of curiosity I typed in habbo and surprisingly they actually have a directory for habbo streams, there isn't any habbo livestreams currently but surely if there's a directory for it twitch believe the game could bring in a fair amount of viewers.

The radio is dying, it has been for a long time & sure you can try to continue to encourage staff to come up with unique ideas but the reality is, after six or so years there's only so much you can come up with. Personally I think trying something along these lines may open many new doors. I'm sure there's some aspects of this that'll be flawed but there's always trial and error.

I don't know what it is that keeps people so zoned into streams, heck I don't even know why I watch them. It sounds a bit strange saying you can stream habbo partys / events etc but if you can stream runescape, you can stream anything. Those who play runescape will know how boring it is to string millions of yew longs in the game & if people watch that then they could be entertained by watching paint dry.. or watching few people doing the pogo mogo in a party room..

The stream is basically the radio plus other features.

Some things you can do:

• Still play music using Sam Broadcaster
• Stream your screen / habbo / djing software
• DJ says / other comments can be displayed on video
• The use of webcams if djs wanted to do challenges with one another etc
• Twitch don't have any rules about streaming music so if PPLUK ever go back onto habbox, you'd be safe.

Those are just off the top of my head. There's just so many more opportunities that the radio can't offer. If people don't want to watch, they can still listen. I think it'd be hilarious to have something like internet innuendo bingo with older presenters / those who feel confident enough to do it or something like that in general, maybe as a weekly thing? it'd be far more interesting than listening to someone tell me the name of every other song.

I know there's flaws but it could always be tested weekly by management or something, see how it goes. I dunno, I just thought I'd suggest this as its a bit sad seeing it all go down the loo (no offence to current staff). Good luck with it anyway.

While it sounds like a good idea, would DJs be willing to "put themselves out there" so much? I'm not sure. I don't think the good old radio we all know is going to be going anywhere anytime soon.

i don't think habbo would be happy in letting fansites broadcast users on webcam lol.
hffm's radio seems quite popular (i tune int it way more than habbox, so do a lot it seems) because it's just better... i dunno what it is. they have better djs, music quality and songs.. maybe hx should try improve on that

i swear to god everytime i tune into habbox i hear ******* abba.......no one except a few freaks at habbox want to hear that lol

also if dj's are broadcasting their screens they would probably have to watch what the say and make sure not to ***** about anyone

The exact complacent attitude that won't get HabboxLive anywhere.

I'm pointing out what I see happening. And that is that the normal radio will stay.
I don't see us migrating to Twitch.
I'm not being complacent. Just stating my thoughts.

This is however a good idea.

The radio quality seems different, they have better settings in place. The design alone gives the radio more of a 'community feel' or something, habboxlives current layout is older than me. I don't know why hxl djs don't take advantage of the equalizer settings in Sam 4, quality sounds better when it's adjusted correctly.

yeah cause i'm not only one who notices it but constantly told by staff "nope its the same, maybe even better at habbox" then the subject is changed to how hffm fix their listeners when i really doubt they do

also some of the hx djs dont even know how to use sam... one turned up the pitch for like 20mins of his show instead of volume and it felt like i was listening to alvin and the chipmunks dj

I would be wary of webcams (we're not Jas) and having it as a permanent thing but streaming big events or something is a possibility. As for unique ideas I disagree, the whole point of something being unique is that it doesn't matter if it's been 6 years if it's unique no-one else has considered doing it. In this sense then this idea is a unique idea so does sorta contradict your point there!

if habboxlive wants to be successful it will have to do spam giveaways like TH and HFFM sorry x
