Habbox Productions/Shows - What went wrong?

[Hecktix]

You did do a great deal of good for the department, but when anything that wasn't a normal show came up, the same few people were selected to do it. If I was as good as you say, why was I cast as a tree in the panto?

The only two shows which were "not normal" were the HxHD show, which was given to the show staff who were also HxHD staff plus a few HxHD staff members and then the Panto.

The Panto was Cast on a first-come first-served basis and then checked over by 8Freak8 - who agreed the final cast list. I apologise if you were insulted to be cast as a tree however we tried our hardest to ensure anybody who wanted to be in it, could be in it. It's worth remembering that positions were available to ALL Habbox Staff.

Other than that normal shows were on a rota, as you very well know.

It was crap Oli, get over it. It's hardly beneficial to Habbox anyway. I attended every show in the last year or whatever and I even got a special sticky lol. They weren't great. The problem was people don't want to listen to Habbo's that are as thick as **** and couldn't maintain a debate.

One thing I do agree with you is that Habbox only has an influence on Habbo with Rare Values. That never used to be this case but it is now. I would say the most influential fansites on Habbo are HFFM and ClubHabbo and CH doesn't even have their own site anymore! I think that has been the case for a good year or so and that's why CHF will probably expand a lot quicker than HxF as will HFFM. However, don't even try that argument because hardly any of Habbox higher management use habbo often and if they do they just sit in HxHD. They have no idea about Habbo to be quite frank.

HxHD has increased in popularity compared to what it was last year, and our events get great attendance as do parties held by DJs. The radio has a very large fan base on Habbo, which is great. Of course we can still be improving but I don't think it's as bad as you make it out to be.

[Immenseman]

HxHD is up and down depending who is in there. Events are much better in my opinion. HxL I wouldn't know because I'd never go to a party room. Take Rare Values away and Habbox wouldn't be all that great. ClubHabbo and HFFM have a better managed Forum and most people are forced to listen to HxL when they go on Habbox.com for other means.

Which, if they didnt want to stay tuned in, they would mute. It get a lot of listeners who are willing to keep listening and its a very popular department. Of course Rare Values are a corner stone of Habbox but its by no means great itself, but its steadily progressing. I can't speak for the forum though as I don't make many Earth shattering decisions regarding how its ran - but it does well I think otherwise people wouldn't keep coming back surely.

I get tuned into HxL so I just turn the volume down like many others do thus we're still counted as a listener although we'd rather eat a dead rat. I don't think the forum is poorly ran because at the end of the day we're all teenagers. It just changes too often, sometimes it'll all be serious and treat it like a business and then other times higher management will just have obvious favourites. The day that everyones complaints and feedback are treated the same will be a good day.

[Sammeth.]

Well HxL does get a lot of listeners, a huge load of listeners that are willing listeners which is clearly evident from the sheer amount of requests that get sent in per show and how quickly party rooms manage to fill up, but as you said you wouldn't know cus you don't go to that sort of stuff. There'll never be a day when everyone happy with everything so I guess thats why things change a bit. Gotta try and appeal to as many people as possible seeing as appealing to everyone is out of the question. Can't say I'm one for favourites.

[Immenseman]

Everyone has favourites, you can say you don't but you do. If someone called !x.xJakex.x! made a thread in feedback with an idea and the English and written communication was crap and then MissAlice made one with the same idea in fluent English people would listen to that one a lot more because she is a respected member of the forum. Merely an example.

I wouldn't let any friendships or anything influence any decisions made within departments though, is what I meant by that.

'Fraid to say it's human nature to be biased. We can't help it nor do we realise what we are doing. It's impossible to be completely impartial.

I like how this is the third argument in the thread though .

Jake is right, other fansites do have more of a presence on Habbo now which isn't good Habbox used to be King.

HxHD will fill up for half an hour then be empty again... occasionally I'll go in when the room is yellow, go brb for 15 mins come back and be sat on my own! But prime-time is usually good!

I think the main problem has been highlighted by Jake.. and I think the problem highlighted has been a problem for Habbox for a while. This problem being that 90% of the time Habbox General Management don't use Habbo - I don't really blame them afterall they have a lot to do and of course are doing it off their own back. But sometimes they just don't understand what's going on which is a bit of an issue sometimes.
