When I was a Super Moderator, or maybe AFM I can't remember I had an idea for moderators to do competitions/quizzes in the sections they moderate - it was knocked back by former General Management though. What do you think of this idea?

I quite like this idea actually and I don't see what harm a few light competitions would do.

i like it, however the moderators might argue they are simply moderators & not competiton staff

Nah I don't think we would. I think the team would be quite up for it tbh.

I like this idea. It might help to improve relations between members and moderators.

I sort of agree with this. I think this kind of argument can be avoided if the competitions aren't too grand as it wouldn't be fair to take away from the actual competitions department.

I think the reason why there hasn't been as many posts is simply due to the summer; a lot of people are out. I also think that there is a lack of newer members because Habbox(Forum) isn't advertised well enough within Habbo. Fair enough, there's events and HxHD but it seems to stop there. Hopefully it'll pick up again soon though.

this should apply to people who posts pics

Everybody is entitled to an opinion. By submitting pictures here, you do so of your own free will and you should most certainly not feel forced. By submitting a picture or pictures, you must be prepared for user comments –– complimentary or critical –– and providing those comments don't break the forum rules, action won't be taken against them.

I would say its a lack of Habbo focus. I know for a long time the forumers were always agitating for more insulation from Habbo, understandable because many forum users no longer used Habbo. But the hotel is our source of new members, a large percentage of our members come from the hotel. I think that the forum started gravitating away (and this didn't start with you, it's been going on for a long time, but it has continued) from Habbo and is not bringing in enough new users from the hotel.

We were also thinking about the problem that we don't have enough of a Habbo presence when I was GM, I'm not suggesting the events team is not doing their job, it seems that they are holding events but Habbo outreach needs to be increased - a lot. As much as a lot of people scorn Habbo users as immature, they're what end up keeping the forum alive. Plus those immature users end up learning how to communicate with vowels and without zs everywhere and become useful members of the community, a lot of us started off as noobs *cough*

Yeah I think you've pretty much hit the nail on the head really there, I was asked a question the other day by a new member wondering why they were a "Gold Member" and as a "forum newb" shouldn't they have a "low" status - my answer would be that newbs aren't of a lower status to HabboxForum because these noobs are what make the forum, these noobs are the future of Habbox.

I do agree that on Habbo we need to reach out more, which is quite annoying really because I feel we were getting somewhere before Habbo went and bloody merged, we had a lot of members sign up towards the start of the year and stick around and keep posting, these guys may not have join dates of this year but people like RNB.Queen, ,xHollie (sorry if that's wrong) and MakeAWishx - three people who have all won Member of the Month this year, and registered this year and they all came from that first quarter.

Hopefully with Habbox's Summer Events we will be able to attract Habbo users, the Habbox Summer Spectacular often does that, Dogboy123 said earlier that he signed up for HxSS 2008 for instance.

personally i think habbox is too grown up

most members of management are quite old and they take habbox too seriously and it just isnt fun. people who play habbo are usually quite young and play it to have fun. for example an average 12 year old would come and look at this thread and read the first page and be bored out of their mind.

the forum just isnt fun, its ran too much like a business and is really strict. it used to be way better when i was younger but everyone who is on the forum that used to be has grown up and habbox has grown with it, and its making it harder for younger people to join in and get involved because its too mature.

The main reason is that most people don't have time while they are at school or working but while the summer holidays are comming up for me and other people aswell then we should have more posts because I will have loads more time. The forum isn't as unique as other forums tbh it is like what is the point in posting. Maybe there could be like a points system and for each post they make they earn 1 point and you will get some forum goodies. To me, that will make me want to post on the forum as a challenge to get the reward! Also, even though there are many badges for getting like 1000 posts, maybe badges for getting 100 posts in 1 day or week? Then, that will motivate me to get that reward!

what if a section of the community (those good at javascript mainly) make a greasemonkey extension for hxf that would let you choose what to display and what not to display. Some ideas I had were

• An image uploader below the quick reply/reply box
• A shoutbox held on an external server (i'm sure someone would host one/use a free one somewhere)
• Give an option to hide the events panel/icon legend etc (just useless stuff)

probably more but i cant think of any. OBVIOUSLY it wouldn't be compulsory to use because yeh.

I think its because theres nothing new at HxF. There is not much interaction on this forum. For example theres nothing for Staff and HxF members to get involved with anything. I also think that for new members it may be quite scary posting in such a large forum as this. They may need to feel a bit more welcome. So maybe if there is a dedicated section for New Members etc. Also there has been a lot of people leaving habbo because of the merge and a lot of people who did post around the forum have grown up and just naturally left. Hope this helped

[hah]

its too big (as in forums) and new members dont know where to start and dont bother i think

I totally agree with you here. When Seacat was on the forum, he was only 16 and probably younger when he became General Mangement. I was around 13-14 when I became assistant forum manager. Things werent so serious back then. Now such things as peoples language on this forum winds me up. That is why I dont post so much. I am only on this forum temporary as well
