    And Alex I don't think changing he colour of stars is effective lol.
    Which is why they shouldnt have been changed All they're doing is increasing the gap to the 2nd group up and butchering the stars with those horrible userbars. They need to give real standout features to each group to make it a real incentive, increasing the size of an avatar by 10 pixels doesn't really cut it imo! If Hx really want to solve their retention problem they need to think outside the box.

    Yeah I'm not in a good mood

    Sadly Alex, they changed the groups so there are LESS incentives, since some idiots seem to think it is better for everyone to be equal, rather than for people to post

    Just because you're on this forum and established, not everyone is. Your posts constantly moan and go on and on and on and on. We know elitism is a problem on Habbox and it's absolutely bizarre that you don't want people to be equal. Imagine in school like I said, you start a new school and you're told you can only use the coloured pens and not the paint like everyone else. Would you enjoy going? Being excluded? No. These changes are a step in the right direction. People quite simply DIDN'T post enough to go up the ranks, leading to a decrease in forum activity, leading to these changes. What you're proposing was tried in the last system which need I stress any further. Wasn't. Effective. Enough.

    On that note, the groups thing is really badly implemented. It hasn't taken off because it's hidden in some deep menus so no bugger can find them. If you want a feature to be successful you need to push it; put a groups updates thing on the homepage thing (maybe something saying "Jim has joined the Group For Frogs") like FB does. There's no point giving everyone access to them if you're not going to promote it properly.
    That's quite a good point and I have an idea I can give to General Management to consider. Incidentally I'm just running some final checks on the rep4posts system so watch this space, as oli says.

    I guess those "idiots" have nothing to do with the increase in members online and posting then. I guess those "idiots" haven't worked incredibly hard to introduce as many new features as possible to ensure that the forum is a place people want to be. I guess those "idiots" are poor in terms of their management skills and you would prefer individuals who ignore majority member feedback and do what the hell they want, whether the forum benefits or not.

    The user ranks remain ranks, they do not fail to provide incentives to post. We have tried our best to adequately combine an incentive to sign up and an incentive to post more with the ranks, and I really don't see the problem with them. They are, as has been said, a step in the right direction.

    We know what you are saying, but the same system was in place in 2004 and it worked? Obviously something else has changed too. Its good they have done unlimited arcade, but there needs to be something there for users to work towards.

    Obviously people didnt like the idea of having 1,000 posts before being allowed to create groups.

    What about allowing them to create one group when they join, and being allowed to create an additional group (or something similar) as the go up the user rank ladder? That way they have an added incentive to post to be able to create another group.

    BEING ABLE TO CREATE A GROUP WILL NOT BE AN INCENTIVE FOR ANYONE
