Popular

The stats are counted by people who actually connect to the radio. Not the site.

If I visited the site without any capable media player, it would not count me as a listener.

Same with the googlebot, it nor any other bot does not connect to the radio, only archiving the site.

True but how many people don't have a capable media player. Anyway as I said HabboxLive is popular enough without having to make it seem even more so and that includes the forum as well. I think it gives it less kudos when the hits and bots are included. I am not attacking either just the 'tricks' to up the figures which aren't needed. The forum right now has 21 members and 59 guests which is a bit silly. Just my opinion. Thanks

What are you talking about :S? I am slightly confused. All forums will have bots once they are indexed on search engines. If you search for Habbox forum on google/msn/yahoo etc, you will find results because we are indexed on there. Bots are good. Very good.

Bots don't connect to the radio so I am not sure what the problem is there.

That most users who go on Habbox.com go on for values not for the radio i know theres a way to stop it but still you shoulnt have to realy.

I think what she is trying to say that there are some instances where people boast about the amount of guests Habbox have on at any one time, when in truth they are, in majority, search engine spiders. That is not to say anyone is blaming you or Habbox in anyway as essentially they are beyond your control and it would be undesirable to stop them.
As for the radio everyone has valid points, I am guessing if Habbox were to revert back to having the radio just on the HxL website listeners would drop considerably however I don't really see why people are saying that it is a bad thing that Habbox have the radio on automatic play on the main site - name me a popular Habbo site that doesn't? They virtually all do! There is nothing wrong with what Habbox are doing; I am sure everyone will admit that the fact it is on the main site means a massive listener increase, but hell, why else would they put it on the main site?!

Sorry that's a bit rantish, it might not make full sense

When I was a DJ on HxL, I saw the official shoutcast stats. Obviously we will have people who go on and off Habbox for the rares values and there are quite a bit of people. The listeners are now constant and even before when the radio was posted on Habbox it only got 120 listeners. But now it often gets over 300 on peak time (most of these listeners are unique), this shows great improvment of the popularity of both Habbox and in particular Habbox Live.

Yes definitely.

[Catzsy]

Yes definitely.

But how does Grig know that there are 300 listeners and they are unique. What are the actual stats Mr. ---MAD---.

Because theres a page on shoutcast where the DJs can view how many are unique. Plus you can also view how many listeners are unique in sams 2 and possibly the other dj programs the djs use.

Like I said, only humans can tune in and if a few users do open multiple radio tabs, they will very unlikely open up 100 of them lol.

It's best to just accept the fact the number of listeners is the real number of listeners and not be so picky over it .

Anybody intelligent never accepts things at face value - that is not picky but you are not going to give the real stats so thats fine.:eusa_whis

That's called arrogance and being difficult IMO. You could believe that dinosaurs never existed and a scientist made up the bones/structures.

The real stats are what is shown on the site. They are not fake nor altered.
