Where is the Christmas skin?

Favourtism · 15-12-2008, 08:41 PM

Without Mr.OSH and Nvrspk4 the site does suffer. However, obviously their exams come first.

Most things have to go through nvrspk4 and I don't really see a problem with that.

Yes they can be done quick but for example:
Content doesn't have an Assistant Manager so it suffers without Mr.OSH. General Management do the forum updates now too.

Is nvrspk4 the only one with power or something, I some how suspect that being as democratic as the management are, everything has to be run through him. Can't somebody step in for him or something as it seems everything goes with him when he goes, too much power and responsiblity maybe?

I think we all know that some of these things can be done at the touch of a few buttons and it's getting a little tiredsome reading the tedious replies from the management. I'd also appreciate it if a senior Habbox staff memeber didn't quote my post and say anything along the lines of, "We're busy at Christmas for various reasons" or "No don't get expectant" or "Keep your eyes peeled"

It seems actually pretty fricken stupid to be quite honest, you should hire some more staff.

Habbox could hire 100 more staff. It would still need General Management to be here for things to be done as they are in charge of Forum Updates. I understand it may sound stupid but would you choose a skin over live influencial exams?

Well of course things have to run through Nvr - he is the General Manaer :S When he is away, the does delegate tasks out to other members of Management meaning everything does (and has) run smoothly but obiously big things such as a brand new forum skin would just have to wait until he is back.

@tamwu: It's not as simple as 'pressing a button in the ACP because it's still there from last year' because the fact is that for whatever reason, it's not there.

It is that simple. The theme is there, you just have to click "Show to members"!.

To be honest, out of most of the Administrators here, the only active one I HAVE seen is Jin and I commend him for juggling HXF issues with University etc...

No, as I've just clearly said, it's not there or it would have been made public a while ago I would imagine..

Why isn't it there? What idiot would go and delete the Christmas skin knowing that a new one couldn't/wouldn't be made?

The one who did delete it shouldn't be an Administrator without good cause.

To be honest, I commend you lot aswell, you take the firing line for comments from us for other staff's **** ups. All we want is a straight answer as to why there is no Christmas skin/forums.

I know for a fact, even if the forums for Christmas didn't exist, they would take a maximum of 5 minutes to setup.

Your just getting plain rude now. How did they know last january that a new one wouldn't be made?

The straight answer is that the old one cannot be found and I have been too busy to make a New Christmas one.

It isn't my place to answer about the forums but it will most likely be as nvr is away and General Management make decisions for the forum as there is no longer Forum Managers.

Well it may have been removed for a whole lot of reasons but I only became an Administrator in September so I don't know the specifics - I'm sure it hasn't been deleted, maybe the XML has been downloaded to another Administrators computer and then removed from the ACP or something like that.

I'm sure a good quality skin would take longer than 5 minutes

but it would be silly to start creating a new skin only for Nvr to return and say he has the old one. I have brought this up with the General Management but we will just have to wait for Nvr because it seems he is the only one who knows where the old Christmas skin is / if it even exists anymore.

Favouritism:
When did I ever say anything about you making one? You may design the skins but I wasn't launching an attack at you.

Why would they delete the Christmas skin in January, any fool would keep the skin at least disabled until the next year incase a new one wasn't made.

B-H, Skins take hours, days or weeks to perfect, but a couple of Christmas forums take 5 minutes, im sure most people would be happy with a couple of forums, let alone a skin

I recken Jin should do it, he like the top man blud

Does anyone know when nvrspk4 will actually be back so we have an idea of when (if) updates will happen?
