Should HxHD be scrapped and COMPLETELY turned into a lounge?

[scottish]

When someoen goes in a room though, they don't exactly look at every sticky before going out?

I know if there wasn't staff in there and i needed help, i wouldn't look at every sticky i'd just go elsewhere..

[Richie]

yeah but a lot of the people posting dont go in that often.

Thats just making assumtions the majority of the people posting in this thread are either staff or are normaly in the helpdesk.

Very true. I dont look at stickies unless someone tells me to (Game rules, etc).

Never really saw how bad the staff were until tonight (apart from omgmatt). Dogboy123 is useless, only words that i've ever seen him say are 'don't be rude' and :Mobile is a little ban happy.

I haven't replied to any of these threads concerning HxHD, being thinking of what is best to say. Now obviously I'm gonna support HxHD as I've been there for months now.

The thing is, most replies to these threads are by people who hardly visit the desk and they are based on things they have heard. It seems to me (right now) people are FINDING THINGS to complain about.

Now if you're in the HxHD as much as I am, you will know that the desk is quite regularly on yellow and sometimes orange. The changes made in the New Year with the layout and such were very important as they gave the room a more relaxed atmosphere. Those changes were INTENDED to make it look more of a lounge and not a so-called "desk". The desk is still there, as it's a Help "Desk", but it is more geared towards the lounge and relaxation.

If you were a new Habbo looking for help, would you visit the Habbox Lounge (all the other lounges you've seen are emo / freak / geek lounges) or would you visit the Habbox Help Desk. Which sounds more friendly? So you go in the HxHD and there is a few chairs and some stickies on the wall (all the other stickies you've seen have rude messages on them). When you're stuck on a maths question in school, do you find it easier to read the example which generally makes things more confusing, or would you call your teacher over so they can talk it through?

The Habbox Help Desk has staff on hand ALL DAY to answer questions, hence why we have staff in several time-zones.

If the HxHD was changed into a lounge, you're getting rid of the Help aspect, and I think that that is totally killing a part of Habbox. The HxHD has been around for years (I'm someone to preserve history) and it seems silly to throw something good away. The desk is popular with people chatting, and even if you help 2 or 3 people a day, that's 2 or 3 people better off. If you don't like the desk, don't go in it. If you like it - well thanks for your support.

The desk is geared towards a lounge theme for people to stay and chat, but there is help there if you want it. If it's the staff that's the problem - PM Bomb-Head to sort it out. Take a look at HFFM's lounge. The name is called "The Lounge!" yet there is a desk half the size of the room for staff to go in and OFFER HELP. Quite frankly I don't see the point in offering help in a Lounge, but that's just me.

Plus, why throw away all the staff's Habbo knowledge and have them moderate a room? It seems to me that people are TRYING to find something wrong, which has been proven with the screenshot Ben posted earlier.

I've just been behind the desk for around 20 minutes and at least 5 people have been in wanting help and advice. I've had a nice conversation with some forum members, which has been interesting to see their points of view. My question is: why throw away a good thing?

(By the way.. arguments aren't gonna get anyone anywhere.. heated discussion is a better term.. )

Thanks.

Again Most of this posts are from regular helpdesk users, i know not all people are from the helpdesk but the majority are.

well i think the poll proves it would be better as a lounge (the original argument). Everyone's opinions count so can't really use the excuse as "people are never there"

[Hecktix]

But we all know tht its more of a social room, so why is there a need to change the name

Just to please some people?

Because MOST people DON'T. The Habbox community know it's used as a social room but newbies don't.

Wouldnt it be best to have a lounge with a row of stickies around the top of the room all with Q+A to different Q's that people may need to know and if they dont answer their questions, have some stickies pointing them in the direction of the HHT, Guides, etc etc. That way the 'lounge/desk' will be a lounge but still able to help people?

Superb idea.

Again the problem has been transformed by Leahh & her cronies...

It's not an OMGWEHATEHXHD&ALLTHESTAFFARECRAP thread.

It's an idea to IMPROVE the presence of Habbox on Habbo, cause sometimes you go in the help desk and you just don't wanna know there is so much crap going on.

Change the name at least

Do what the people say, poll says people want lounge.
