Habbox

[Tintinnabulate]

Hello there,

I have spoken to several members lately off the forum and they agree with that I have to say - although they have never posted it publicly on the forum. I have also spoken to some managers who also agree with that I have to say, but it would be inappropriate for me to name them.

Habbox has two owners. Sierk seems to be the silent partner and Jin the active one. Unfortunately even when he is online, I don't think its enough. For this reason, the General Manager is automatically the "acting owner". nvrspk4 was great at it and so was MAD (even though he was disliked). They both made decisions on the spot even if they were wrong. They were both strong.

I like Matt and he is a nice person, but unfortunately that isn't always good for a GM. Yes new members might like him as he is a friendly person, but overall its damaging to Habbox. I post a lot less now and so do many old members - and the excuse that its summer etc is just a load of bull.

Habbox is without a doubt the best Habbo fansite and if it continues the way it is, it won't be for long. Habbo has moved on but Habbox hasn't. It isn't "modern". On the face of it, it might look like a strong general management but without naming them - half of the general management have told me its shambles. Its obvious from the fact that Matt fails to make key decisions when it matters e.g. 4chan thread. nvrspk4 or MAD would have replied with a decision and replied to most members post with a clear explanation. Matt unfortunately fails to do this. These things are slowly ruining Habbox.

The communication between staff is also terrible. The management know its true and have admitted it.

What I think its time for is to let someone stronger and someone who can make decisions on the spot with clear explanations take over as GM while Matt returns to AGM. Its for the best of Habbox. I would recommend Garion as the GM. I really like Alkaz and Roxy but Garion seems to be stronger and someone who will be able to manage the whole of Habbox and make decisions.

Matt shouldn't take this as a negative, he is a great person, but just not suited for GM.

[hah]

I agree 110% with this. I dont wanna go on a Matt bashing session but he seems more concerned with getting his face all over Habbox, i don't remember Sammeth getting his face put on the main site when there are much more pressing issue that need to be dealt with first.

He is like a little lost boy. He hasn't really got any clear plans and at the moment it seems like Garion is the GM because of the way he deals with issues and how he replies to threads etc.

I know this is only small, but Habbox is a habbo fansite and he hasnt even got a Habbo avatar or sig lol. habbo4lyf

im not gonna assasinate matt cuz meh why bother.

i think problem is the leadership structure here, and the fact that doin competitions like habboxs top models, the summer spectaculars and stuff like that, well they all have to be approved by general management and im guessin with that alot of ideas get scrapped? im talkin comps in general rly but big ones yano. i mean... the age ratio here is pretty mid teens sooooooooooo why do we get treated like 10 yr olds and why arent we given a bit more room to move in the terms of like filters & comp ideas?

its like as soon as one manager says its not possible then thats it game over never happening lol thats the only problem i have with hx as yknow, the staff have jobs and skl and lives to attend to too.

I'm also going to have to agree with Sav. I do like Matt and I think he's a nice person, but when a decision needs to be made he seems to take a step back and relies on others (such as Garion) to reply and even then he will just agree with the individual (such as Garion). Matt has the likeable factor but lacks in leadership qualities, which is obviously vital for the role of General Manager.

I think sometimes the role can get to you a bit too Matt, I can understand the role is quite demanding and stressful so maybe it would benefit you if you did step down to AGM Staff.

I agree totally

Its just like the time they hired me then hours later fired me for doing nothing wrong. Also I know garion & matt will obviously disagree but I was threatened with an ip ban if I didn't take down habbotbh at the time of the gossip site (I hosted it). I argued it was nothing to do with them and they argued back saying its their staff & they need to defend them or some crap, lets say for example I punched a member of googles staff in the face, they can't say 'oh I have an idea lets ip ban him from google' & don't give me the 'but we are a community speach'. None of that would of happened years ago, habbox would of steered well clear as its none of their business.

Just a few examples of when management have failed in the last month or so with some situations involving me.

I agree, if they say no its end of. You can't argue any more even if you are right and make more sense. That attitude is terrible and is used by Forum Staff a lot, not just General Management.

cough new forum manager too please

cough new forum manager too please

I think we really need an Assistant Forum Manager. Would make things more effective and quicker. Every manager hates an assistant but they are beneficial to the site overall.

Also a better features manager? My VIP was requested like a week ago, yet its not been added yet :S

NO SAV BRANDON AND YOSHI ARE FINE U NOOB

I love brandon and he is super quick, but because he is away, nothing gets done as unfortunately Yoshi is slow. Yeah he has given Garion a valid reason, but its been 3 months. Garion said he won't fire him as he is doing his job - no he isn't doing his job.

To add to the Assistant FM part, another reason why its needed is for example last month - forum takes over HxHD event couldn't take place as Oli had exams etc. AFM could have easily carried it out.
