hxl in need of improvements?

[Angel-Light]

To the person saying there are no immature DJs at HxL then it is a lie

There will always be immature people who think they are cool and do stupid things on air because the listeners ask them to. Maybe once in every while you should have an hour on the radio where NO REQUESTS for songs are taken and the music is selected by a DJ. Much like how radio stations are in the world outside of Habbo.

Things that ahve constantly annoyed me while working at HxL and not working there is DJs singing, making stupid comments while a song is playing and playing the exact same song over and over again! If people wish to hear the song then they should purchase it themselves and play it over and over and the singing thing. Rules should be made that no singing is allowed at all (except if it is okayed by management and is pre-recorded version of a song for a special occasion), talking over songs should be kept to a minimum and the amount of chart music played within their hour is greatly reduced.

Going back to CH's example of introducing an age restriction for applying. It is a great idea, no offense to those under that age but often people are immature at the ages below 13 as they have not started High school, are often perusaded enough to do stupid things and their music collection may not be as large.

Overall introduction of rules and possibly a minimum age restriction for DJs may reduce listeners at the start but overall it may grow as people on forum (who are older than a lot of DJs) may start tuning in and therefore increasing the traffic for HabboxLive.

well, i was totally in bed when i posted my last reply, so here's a better one:

i, myself, sometimes do have problems listening to the younger dj's because of the professionalism, but i don't think that's the case here at hxl. infact, compared to when i first dj'ed about 5/6 years ago, things have improved dramatically.
but, why shouldn't younger dj's have a chance to improve. if i hadn't started dj'ing when i was 14, i doubt i would be any good now. i've just finished my acting course where i've studied various radio presenting methods, and i'll tell you, just because the other people on my course were 16/17/18 that didn't mean they were automatically amazing at dj'ing.

also, i agree with some of the posts about repetitive chart music, and that's something i as a returning dj will look to vary slightly; because i my main music genre is twee/indie/electro which isn't strongly represented: but, in all fairness habboxlive has a duty to provide a radio service to the users of habbo, who are a fair deal younger than the users here at hxf & enjoy the chart music.

lastly, i think a bridge needs to be formed more solidly between hxf and hxl. and i wanna try and do that as a dj aswell.

(ahahah this totally just sounds like a politicians manifesto.)

1 )So you want a larger senior team which I assume have been at HxL for a while and are a good quality DJ who can teach and guide other DJ's into becoming a better DJ. - Yeah because lets be honest its a joke for a 16 year old to 'look up' to a 14 year old

2) At least three minutes of a song to play before any interruptions by the DJ.
Better links in between songs. - at the start and end on the song is fine if its not constantly, just don't speak through any song.

3)No DJ's singing through/after a song unless pre-recorded i.e. backing track. - Yeah pre-recorded then played (if they really wana sing)

^^ Very good post Hayley. I think it's what yourself and Adzeh did more of a few years back and it did work well . There will be those who annoy you everywhere you look, whenever or wherever.

[hah]

I think the age restriction is a great idea. But then again, a lot of people would lie. But i suppose you could maybe tell from their voices etc.
Think you should hire more people from the forum who post.... get more listeners that way

with number 2, i know from working on a commercial station in birmingham, that it's actually illegal to talk through more than the intro of the song, so i don't know where/how people have picked this trick up. but i totally agree, it annoys me.

Oh and another reason I don't tune into HabboxLive is because all they play is chart crap which can really get boring, play some variety.

[hah]

was singing along to 50cent and dj nova just ruined it by shouting "90 more listeners for a throne"

If they brought in the age restriction they would have to fire like 4/5's of their staff. Really tho, its a good idea but I highly doubt hxl would introduce it. The thing about other fansites, Clubhabbo, hffm etc is allot of their presenters are older. Oh and being immature is fine, I'm 18 and immature but doing ******ed things like speaking over songs and singing is just no.... lol

[hah]

he just did it again :|
